greater than for the past two years.

GROWTH OF IRON TRADE.
Worlds Production Has Increased at a
Rate to Tax Credulity.

0A" - y
Rate to Tax Credulity.
The development Of the iron in
dustry Of the United States, says the
Engineering Magazine, has been
marked with surprises. From com
plete dependence upon the old world
the country has leaped to a pre-emi-
hence so complete that its rivals be-
lieve and tremble. in the great rail-
road building period Of 187O-72 Eng
land furnished the rails and other
materials at prices two or three times
above those which are now deemed
abnoTmally high. Then England pro-
duced three times as much iron and
steel as the United States. Since
then Germany has challenged the SUI
premacy Of Great Britain, and passed
hernia decade Of remarkable growth,
And yet, in the current year Of 1902
the United States OF America will
produce more iron than England and
Germany combined. Indeed, there is
a margin Of excess to spare about
equal 70 the product Of France. If
we add to this statement another
fact, VIZ, that even this vast pro-
duction is not sufficient for home re-
quigements, and that the United
State i to-day, in spite Of a stiff
tariff, the best customer in iron and
steel that Europe has, credulity is
taxed to the limit.

PLANNING A CITY.
Similarity Of Experience in Cases Of
Detroit and Washington.

Similarity Of Experience in Cases Of
Detroit and Washington.
In his lecture before the Century
club the other night, Charles Moore
said many things which appeal to ne
good sense and civic pride Of Detroit
ers, says the Detroit Tribune. Vixen
the plan of this city was first laid out,
it was in accordance with the ideas
of L'Enfant, who planned the eig
of Washington. For many years ne
residents Of Detroit did not really
believe that this would ever become
the great city that it is now. MosSof
the residents were people who gave
no thought to the future, and they
had very crude ideas of art as applied
to the planning Of a city. JuSge
Woodward's plan was a subject Of
laughter, while the footways of he
old village were composed Of pairs OF
hewn logs laid side by side, when the
intervals were pieeed out with rough
slabs, and when the driveways were
mud Of varying depth. To-day
thoughtful people are wishing that
the original plan had been mere
closely followed. They are looking
forward to the day when the LEGAL
government will wake up and maln-
tain a closer regulation over NE
planning Of streets, and see that he
peoples money invested in puHiic
buildings is not hidden under q
bushel or behind rookeries.
Two abuses may be mentioned
which are particularly effective in
marring the beauty Of the city and
multiplying the inconvenience Of
the citizens. The county building,
by far the most expensive and lBe-
tentious building in the state, Rar-
ring the capitol, is placed where he
facade is half obscured by a romyof
ancient has-beens, and where Ase
other elevations are hedged in by
narrow streets which prevent a good
view. In order to give the city and
the citizens the ornamental benefit
they have paid well for, much private
property must be purchased and I'D
buildings RACED.
The street plan has been p%ersis-
tently detrimental to the generabdn-
t%erest, because it has been left to De
discretion of land syndicates which
have plated streets to suit their
own ideas.
Washington is a model city, fgOm
the artistic standpoint, but it has cost
extravagantly to make it what it is.
Boss Shepherd, who pushed the re-
modelling Of the city to sac
cessful completion, made hiEn-
self the best hated mar Of
his day, but his works liye
in perpetuation Of his name. Cid
Paris was ~remodeled by what seemed
a ruthless and prodigal regime ofraz-
ing old buildings, Strengthening
streets and creating new main thor
oughfares, but nobody regrets me
cost to-day. Detroit is still a youag
and growing city. Many mistakes
have been made in the past and tbsy
will continue to be made, until ne
city takes arbitrary control Of these
things by establishing In official su-
pervision and vesting it in a deprt-
ment that viii be responsible as wei
as capable.

natural objects which have been

this a common form is the embossed

softened with hot water and re-

Argentina a Competitor.

London, Nov. 1.-THE position OF
the beef trade in Great Britain is in
an interesting state at present. Although
smaller quantities of dressed meat have
been shipped recently from the United
States, yet prices have no been nam
tanned successfully by the great Ameri-
can houses in the Smithfeld market.
This is on account of new competition
from South American meat shippers,
which has become, TO the satisfaction of
the English element in Smith6eld, of
a formidable nature.
Finding they were prevented by the
English board Of agriculture from ship
ping cattle alive to England the South
American houses some months ago set
to work in ernest 10 ship dressed meat.
At first they tried freezing it, but with
poor success, for the cargoes came TO
market in much The same state as Aus
ralian meat-hard and altogether out
classed by the American chilled beef.
The latest shipment from South Ameri-
ca, however, was practically as fine in
condition as the American chilled beef
and it sold at prices only a shade below
those of the American commodity.
