 B kes in the patronage of art. Within the last couple of days two fine examples of the old English masters Rmoney and Hoppner-were placed on the walls of his Plttsburg home, while it is said fine Remorandt has also been purchased and will arrive here shortly.
 Portrait of the Lady and Child" is the title of the canvas by George Romney. It is an excellent specimen of this ar tists style and represents the Lady Augusta Murray, one of the prominent society damsels of England in the latter half of the eighteenth century. The can vas by John Hoppner. R. A., Is known as The Duchess of Montrose." It is also typical example of a fashionable portrait painter cotemporary with Rom ney. No information is to be had con cerning the Rembrandt aside from the fact that one has been bought, and is now oR it's way to this city
 The price paid for these pictures is not known Judging. however, by what has been paid for works of relatively the same character and importance the figures must run well up into the thous- ands, perhaps $15,00O or $20O00 each. A number of Romney's works have recently been sold at high prices, but Hoppners works are rarely seen outside of the galleries and private collections of Eng land. Both artists were represented in the visiting eastern collections shown in this city last winter. but the prices wess high and no buyers presented themselves.

The Iron Market.

'The iron market seems to grow strong er,'' said an official of a furnace com pany, and l do not see how there can be any softening before the summer of lsOS. If next year brings good crops prosperity will continue into 1904.
 "A large tonnage of southern iron has been sold for the first half of 1903 at ST. but some manufacturers have booked contracts for $2O The selling price for No. ? foundry for deliveries in the sec- ond half of 1903 will probably not be less than $2l.''

the coffers of the Morgan syndicate, but rather from the sale or pledges of Louis- vile and Nashville securities. The whole transaction is a most extraordinary one and seems to emphasize the power of money and the vast influence MT. Nor gan and his syndicate yields in matters requiring the use of large sums of money That the syndicate is destined to realize millions from this transaction is seem ingly assured The syndicate is said to have made over a million dollars in the Monon deal under which that compara- lively small and almost broken down sys- tenn was unloaded on the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railways.
 With million and over clear profit on limited transaction like that, how many millions may the syndicate not realize as a profit on this last and much moro extensive transaction? And where is the money to come from to pay these enor- nous profits ard dividends and interest on the additional stock and bonds issued to enable the syndicate to consummate the deal? Will the people be called on to pay the freight" or rather the addi- tional freight and passenger charges re- quired to meet these increased dividend and interest obligations? If not the peo- ple then the lambs" who may allow themselves to be inveigled into the pur- chs SC of the securities of these rads. consisting largely of additional issues of stocks and bonds will be objects of pity, even though they nay not deserve it.
 That there will be a reckoning some day, and that soon, seems apparent.

rHE DEMAND FoR IRoN.

From the New York Financier.
 The demand for iron is not confined to the United States. Englands furnaces are working to the limit their eapaci- ty, as are those of the United States ana the only countries where demand IS not equal to the supply appear to be ter many and Russia. The question naturally arises, whence comes this un- precedented demand for iron? Broadly speaking, it can be answered only by re- beating that the demand reflects the prosperity of the country. Railroads are putting portions of their heavy earnings into improveme. better tracks, more engines, more cars and equipment or every character. Building activity Is ao- sorbing enormous amounts of structurai steel; manufacturers of other products which find their basis in steel and iron are taking great quantities of the metal off the market, and in a dozen different directions the absorption is continuous The best feature of the case Is that thls demand is in no way an artificial boom movement It originates In busy manu- fact tories, in prosperous trafi. channels and in building operations. The exports of crude forms of iron, as already noted are falling of, but the outword move- ment of American manufactures Is in- creasng-that is, we are turning our own crude products into finished ma terial giving employment to larger number of men.

 The aggregate size of these infants, ex- cluding from the calculation the railroad and steamship lines, measured by their capitalization and bond issues, Is several times greater than the total bonded debt of the United States, the nations stock of gold and silver, the total value of all its public buildings, ships of war; public lands and other public properties Taking all these possessions of the gov ernment at fair valuation the industries of the United States which are included in the great combinations of capital could buy and sell them several times over And yet we talk about infant industries" and the necessity for protecting them by prohibitory tariffs, which keep down for eign competition. It Is like the spectacle of a lilliputian guarding a giant, and those republicans who refuse to see or acknowledge the absurdity are standing squarely in the light of the party. They wll not stand there for long, however, for the band wagon of twentieth century republicanism, bearing the legend Tar if Revision,' is coming down ---e road and they must either get out of the way, as did Henderson, or be run down.
