the duration of the period of over-pro-
duction.
Nothing yet has developed in the
progress OF this country to alter the
old-fashioned views of our capabilities
as an iron-consuming nation. 1t is i'm
possible for our builders to take all
the iron and steel that can be put be-
fore them at any price. The increase
of railway mileage is small. moreover.
and steel buildings are rot so popular
as they were. Shipbuilding is becom-
ing dull, and it is probable that our
railroad equipment is not to be as
greatly increased in the early future as
1t has been during the past two or
three years. In considering these facts
it should be remembered that at the
present time the consumption of iron
and steel is at the rate of over twenty
one million tons of pig iron annually.
If 1t be conceded that the consumption
will never again fall to where it was
before 1896 not exceeding ten million
tons, the estimate Tor the demand
should not go higher than fifteen mill
ion tons. Prosperity can remain with
the country at such an output, but
general business is destined then to be
much worse than it is now.

No Ground for Alarm.

MIR. James ]. Hill, one of the sanest
these timely observations concerning
tie troubles in the stock market:
"Tha eastern market is, as everybody
knows, in q disturbed condition. In
dustrial stocks nave been thrown upon
the market in enormous quantities, and
the public has stopped buying. The
trouble has been ascribed to undigested
securities, but perhaps we would better
call them indigestible securities.
"Out here Gin tie wesD we are not
worried, nor do we need to worry,
about any of these movements. We
are not dealers in industrial securi-
ties. and our people have not invested
their money in them. Our broad acres
do not feel any tremors from Wall
street. From st. Paul clear through to
the Pacific coast the people are en-
gagged in producing foodstuffs, in lurn-
bering, in mining, and in developing
the great resources of the country.
Therefore, they are prosperous, and
see no reason to believe that this pros
perity will not continue
The Industrial securities to WHICH
Americas greatest railroad builder re-
fers are the stocks and bonds issued by
the numerous trusts" which have
been organized during the past few
years. The securities of these concerns
have been issued by the hundreds of
millions. and as Mr.. Hill shrewdly re-
marks, the public has stopped buying.
There are, of course, other underlying
causes for the recent radical slumps in
the stock market. but the reaction
against steady diet of windinf1ated
trust stocks is one of the important
facts in the present situation.
And. incidentally, it is being demon
strated every day that the trusts which
were to devour the country. according
to our democrtic friends, are not SO
dangerous as they once looked, by a
good deal. Many of them are so feeble
that they are not capable of devouring
anything, and the financial hospitals
are being filled with them.
The country is all right.

Iron as a Trade Barometer.

1t is not difficult to estimate the
effect of the fall in iron prices on the
iron and steel industry. The changes
already noted in the market quotation
if they are maintained and not in
creased, mean that the manufacturers
of pig iron will for the next year re-
ceive some thing like fifty OIL sixty mill
ion dollars less for their output than
they took in during the preceding
twelyemonth. But as the shrinkage in
mand and a decreased sale of stocks.
the bearing of the new situation on
it's chief Industrial elements must be
of an even more impressive character.
In the circumstances suggested Per
haps the furnace owners will receive
fully one hundred and fifty or two
hundred million dollars less than their
returns of the last year. Their in
come, then, must be reduced below the
allowances possible for equipment in
former months. and they must lay out
a larger sum in proportion as their
plans as to wages do not involve re-
auctions.
There is no question that the signs
of a reduced demand for the metal
are visible even to the unskilled OBJ
server. The Iron Age is authority for
the opinion that production is not only
too large, but is enormously in excess
of consumption. Within a short time
the output of pig iron has broken the
weekly record with a wide margin to
spare. Indeed, in five months the in
crease in weekly output has been sew
enty-one thousand tens, and the
total for last week was 414,636
tons. though never before in any
country was there such a yield and
rarely has the amount been exceeded
tor any week in all the world outside
of this country. A slackening con-
sumption at such time means the
hasty piling up of stocks and in the
end over production. 1t is true that
the extent cannot be accurately guess
ed. There may be another burst of
prosperity involving a boom in con-
sumption, which will carry out the
supplies as fast as they were heaping
up. General business must feel the
consequences of the undue production
in a geratAr or less degree, and its
character will be in accordance with
