War In the Iron Trnde.

The costly revenge that one firm en-
gagged in The iron trade took upon an
other in 1896 will always find place
in the annals of British trade. Both
firms were engaged in the same class
of work, and one CHANGED to clash
with the other over the expectation OF
their goods. which so enraged the first
firm that they determined to be re-
venged. however great the cost.
They began by buying up all the
smelling coal they could procure at a
cost of S375.00O but as this did not
ruin the other firm they tried to copy
their rivals goods and sold them in
America at loss of $500 4 day The
opposing firm still held out doggedly,
however. and at last the revengeful
parties. unable to stand this serious
drain upon their resources, decided to
give up the game as not being worth
the candle. This. however. was only
one when their revenge had cost them
over sl.2s0.oJ0.
