PAT SPEEDY.
The Sports" PhIosophc Observation
 Upon Winning Wager.

From the London Mail
 When MT. Patrick Sheedy is not in New York he may sometimes be seen in London. At other times he may be in Paris, or should the croupier not have cried rein ne va plus," in Monte Carlo or Ostend. In the winter sea- son, when the English climate is bad for his chest, he may also be met at times in Cairo. He Is a perfect cosmo- politan, a perfect man of the world, and the most entertaining of conversa- tionalists.
 He has a never-failing flow of ad- miral moral sentiments, which accord well with his benevolent and simple aspect. Once he engaged with young gentleman of large means, newly ac- quired, in disputation concerning the spelling of a certain word ill Web sters Dictionary. From argument they got to betting, and, by increasing stakes, to heavy betting. When the dictionary was produced and the wager decided, MT. Sheedy was found, to the young gentleman's great sur prise, to be the winner. As he pock- eted the wad of notes which the loser handed over to him he is said to have offered to his opponent this piece of ph1losophic consolation:
 Well" said he, after all, money is not everything in this world; 1t is knowledge that counts, and now you know something which you did not know before"

toned above, is about 100000 tons The total possible annual output of the United States Steel Corporation has not been re- hably estimated, but it is believed to be not less than 15, 600 tons. It may read fly understood that an octupus of consid- erable magnitude could be created out of union of these companies. Whether such a union would be practicable or profitable is a question for the experts in finance and in the iron and steel trade to figure out for themselves. Whether the combination already in existence would have need to fear the prowess of a combination created from the ecompa- nies above mentioned is another subject for expert rather than lay discussion.
 It would seem, however, to the ordinary mind, when the products of all of these companies not included in MT. Morgan's corporation are considered that the Unit ed States Steel Corporation, great as it is, does not control the iron and steel sit uation of the United States. And if such corporation cannot control the iron industry, it may be well asked what con- solidation of industries and combination of capital could?
 It must be borne in mind that besides the companies mentioned, which turn out the raw material, there are several other companies engaged in the manufacture of finished products of iron and steel like the American Bicycle Company, for in- stance, and the international Steam Pump Company and the International Heater Company and the Niles-Bement- Pond Company and the Pressed Steel Car Company, which are great consumers of the raw material and which might be po- tent factors in any new combination or consolidation that might bo ccntem- plated.
 When general survey of the entire field is taken one is reminded of the force of the economic principle that, so long as there is profit in an enterprise, competi- tion cannot be stified.

The capital stock of the company Is $10000,000. It was or ganized in January, 1899, and has not, as yet declared any dividend.
 The Warwick Iron and Steel Company which owns blast furnaces in the vicinity of Pottstown, Pa,, with capacity of 1S5,- 900 tons of pig iron per annum.

 T delphia, whose works at Nicetown, one of the Pennsylvania suburbs, are extensive. This company, while an important factor in the steel trade. has a peculiar interest from the fact that it has always refused information for publication about it's plant or its productive capacity.
 Then there is the Lackawanna Steel Company, which will shortly remove it's plant from Scranton to Buffalo, and the Jones' Laughlins Company of Pittsburg. The output of the Backawanna Company is something like 365, 900 tons year and the Jones-Laughlins Company is only little less.
 These are the chief companies which the United States Steel Corporation does not control. Their total capitalization repre- sents about $450, ,000000, exclusive of bond issues.
