A SIX DAY RACE FOR WOMEN PROTECTED
IN BROOKLYN

There has been large increase in the number
of riders OF the bicycle the local roads in
the last few days. On Sunday the turnout was one
of the largest of the year and this applied 10 this
borough well to the Borough of Brooklyn and
NewJersey. All of the veterans were out, as usual
and the increased interest in the wheel COM
mented upon generally. One veteran dealer in
Brooklyn said that he was kept buster Sunday
than he had been any previous day since the
early spring. Riders in Brooklyn delighted
with the speed with which Fort Hamilton-ave op-
posite the Parade Grounds is being repaved When
the work at that point is finished which ought to
be before the real cold weather sets in, 1t will be
a blessing not only to wheelmen. but to owners of
automobiles and other vehicles well.

Piq Iron Production.

On February 1 of this year there were 296 stacks in blast, the largest number in the history of the industry in this country: and the number has been decreased until now only 213 are in blast On February 1 the weekly capacity stood at 29S, ,o1i tons now it Is 223 169 tons. The loss of 75. 900 tons a week means a yearly loss of about 4,OOOOOO tons, or reduction from E, ,500 900 tons to Il, ,5O0,- 00o tons. And yet iron is accommodating at the rate of nearly 10000 tons month. The will soon be more than producers will care to carry unless the domestic demand be- comes after election more active.
 The weekly capacity of the southern fur naees in blast October was s. 1OS, or at the rate of about two million tons a year. This has long been the rate of southern produc- tion These figures include the Virginia and Kentucky furnaces, but not the Maryland words about 20 per cent of the country's output. If the Warrior were opened this percentage would be handsomely increased without in the least trespassing further up- on the domestic market.
 Southern production should be maintained. Southern iron should make itself felt If We keep on making iron Pittsburg and Chi cago and Cleveland will yet be glad to help us open the Warrior In order to re- leve them of the pressure of southern iron. They do not want to meet competition from this district. They know from actual expe- rience what iron from this district can be sold for if competition becomes over keen.
