Industrial Commission Gives Out the
Facts and Figures.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE indus
trial commission has issued a special
report on an investigation conducted
by the commission regarding the cost
and selling prices of iron and steel

from $16.6S to $25.47; in 1896 from
SLIP to $20.69; in 1897 from 1851

uary. February March, April and May
of 1900, when the cost price ranged
over $36 per ton. Losses also are
claimed on steel billets for most Of
the year 1900 and for the first four
months of 1901. A loss is recorded for
every month in 1898 on billets. Losses
are recorded for the last three months
