Big Steel Earnings.

statement was made in New York
the other day to the effect that the net
earnings Of the American Steel Hoop
Company for eight months ending De
cember /. we're little over a million
and a half dollars. but the president OF
the company says this is misleading
as those were the earnings Of the COM
pany up to December /, after two divi-
dends on preferred stock. amounting to
$4,000, had been paid. He says he is
confident that the statement now being
prepared will show the net earnings of
the company for eight months ending
January / to be 100000.
"The next four months" says the
president, should show even better
earnings relatively than the past eight,
as when the company started business
1t had old contracts on hand for about
10000 tons, which, of course. were at
much lower prices than those now pre-
valllng. 1t is my opinion that the net
earnings Of the company for the first
uBcal year VIII NC abO1N NvtNSVV'SSS' -
outlook was never better. The COM
pany has orders on Its books extend
ing to July and amou rting to over 1885,
900 tons Of finished material and 10000
tons Of pig Iron. AS the monthly cap
acity Of the company Of both pig iron
and finished material is about 10000
tons, 1t will be seen that these figures
cover the full capacity for nearly four
months"
President E. H. Gary, of the Federal
Steel Company, said: 81 look for an
even better year in 1900 than we have
Just experienced. The demand for pig
iron is still in excess of the supply,
while 1t Is almost impossible to obtain
coke at any price. We would like to
obtain a little more coke. although we
now have a supply Of about $4,000 tons
per month. Our own ovens have an
output OF about $4,000 tons per month,
and this win be doubled by next May.
We have already contracted to sell
nearly 100000 tons Of ore, or about the
entire output of the Minnesota Iron
Company, for the next season, which
runs from May, 1900. to May. 1901"

rbo I,advsmith Encounter.

The assault of the Beers on the
British in front OF Ladysmith was one
OF the most stubbornly fought engage
ments Of the Transvaal war, so far.
This view, Of course, is taken entirely
from English sources, after the dis
patches have been thoroughly censored.
In this battle 1t is claimed that the
British entertainments were taken three
times by Kruger's forces, and as many
times retaken by the English force.
But even with maintaining their own
position the British have done nothing
but hold their own at great cost; and,
without any detailed account of the
losses on either side, the true story OF
the encounter. which is claimed as a
victory. may be as bad as a defeat.
