HIGH-GRADE METAL.
Experiment That May Result I'm RevO-
IutiOnizing the Country's Iron
and Steel Industry.

ST. PAUL. April 20.-An experiment that
may revolutionize the iron and steel in
dustry was successfully made this after

smelted in ordinary cupola and turned
out pigiron which polished like steel and
which. according TO those interested in the
experiment, is better than Bessemer steel
While the hard and soft iron ore mines
of st. Louis county have been turning out
millions of tons annually for years, farther
north there are vast beds of iron, which,
because of the presence of titanium max
ing IL refractory, have received but little
attention, although their existence Is gen.
orally known.
Frank Johnson, of st. Paul, is the in
ventor of the new process. chemist and
assayer who was present at the test to-

and could not engineer such a move ment as Is now apparent in opposition to it. Prices are declining because there are more securities held for sale in Wall street than buyers will take. Like any other commodity in the same situation, they must seek lower level. So mark-down and clearance sales be- come the order of the day. For a long time prices were advancing and those who bought stocks made hand some profits-at least on paper Now. with the turn of the tide, 1t is shearing who find themselves with more stocks on their hands than they can easily find margins for.
 In ordinary times these lambs belong to the outside public. but in this de- cline it seems to be the general opinion that they come from flock that is seldom thus caught. rich men, in fact, who have listened to the song of the syndicate promoter and have been too easily beguiled by fairy tales of quick and far from small profits. These are able probably to protect their holdings of "undigested securities" and are not likely to be bankrupt entirely, even should they prove to be "indigestible. !" The losses from the shrinking process. however. will not be small. Of course, the more gradual this is the less will be the disturbance to general business, as matters will have time to adjust themselves.
 The interesting question is when the bottom will be reached. Those who can answer it correctly will have great opportunities before them. On rising market the general public is easily car ried away by it's hopes and likes to take an occasional flyer in stocks, but when for any reason the tide turns and the trend of prices is downward this same general public becomes very cautious and will buy neither for spec ulation nor investment until even good securities have declined below their value as interest payers and a move ment in the other direction has begun.
 Traders, on the other hand, are al- ways ready to buy or sell for a quick turn, as they think they see their op- portunity, and are bulls or bears as the occasion arises At the present time the business of the country shows every evidence of prosperity and the people generally seem to find plenty to do in attending strictly to their own affairs and have little time to specu- street intends to do business at some price or another and values will be scaled down until they prove attractive once more
