IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.
1.-The Iron Age" says:

'sThe Iron Age says:
In the East the anthracite strike has caused
some blowing out, and may lead to more The prln-
cipaI effect thus far has, however, been to force
those furnaces which were making low phosphorus
mig iron to turn off since the coke available Will
moi permit of making the grade. This means FUR
Their reliance upon foreign markets, and, as mat
fer of fact another round lot of low PHOSPHORUS
mig has been purchased abroad. During the week
The four interests which control the steel rail
mills of the country reached an agreement for 1903
and decided to open the books for deliveries during
that year SIS for standard sections at mill 1t
appears that quite a considerable number of large
orders have already been placed We are advised
that even now they aggregate between 55O,OJO and
100000 tons for 1903 delivery and include such guam
titles as over 5000 tons for the Northwestern,
81 falO tons for the St Paul 10000 for the Bur
Iington Isl tons for q leading anthracite road
and ther large orders. 1t Is certain that very
sid,rable quantities of rails ordered for this year
will not be rolled until 1903 that the outlook for
this important branch is bright. OF course. the
productive capacity will be very greatly enlarged
by the starting in 1908 of the great mill which
the Lackawanna Steel Company is building at
Stony Point, Buffalo.
Steel continues very scarce. and foreign bets
are being placed in quantity Among the recent
purchases for plant on the Delaware is lot of
1000 tons 1t is understood that a considerable
quantity of Canadian steel has been placed in the
last few weeks Western railroads beginning
to figure on their bridge building programmes

No Future for italy.

l don't see any future for Italy. The 1tal-
ians are mastering all the time. They DO
not look vigorous and determined. The mill
tary is constantly on the march from post
to post and are not allowed to become too
we'll acquainted with any locality. TO IN
observer knowing anything Of the st:ilme ut
of the people, it would seem that they a,e
afraid Of each other and that there is a feel
Ing OF readiness for frebrand. In my judg-
ment, the soldiers Of Italy do not compare
with those of Germany. The distinction be-
tween the civilians Of Italy and those o. Ger
many is very apparent Italy is a good place
in which to be lazy. They bave a. lre.ty
country to look at, but do not seem to be
getting out of 1t what they ought to. The
hotel accommodations are good, I might say
excellent and the attendance courteous.
I had been to France before, but never
through the country. l wanted to see some
thing of the commerce and how the people
lived and got along.
In France Mr. Wyman noted that the
men were attending to their military
duties, and in many places the women
were in the fields. The farms are not so
large as here, but sometimes fifty women
in a row are digging, hoeing and Guilt
waiting the soil. The women's work seems
to be in the field rather than that of the
men. Nov to an American" said Mr..
Wyman, "this is picture " If I should see
it in my own country I should think
somebody was to blame for something
that ought not to be.
The Wymans paid much attention to the
art treasures Of Italy, and France and to
the famous resorts of the countries Wis
tied. They went-to Beaulieu to rest en-
route; took the Bonaparte ride to Nice;
stopped at Genoa, whose former prestige
as a. mercantile center has waned until it
is now commercially known as a vegeta-
Bile center. At Easter time they were in
Rome, saw Pope Leo, and in st. Peter
witnessed the conservation of the seven
oils by Cardinal Rampolla, secretary of
state. The walk was taken through the
pope's garden. r.-.. .-... =
