THE IRON TRADE
Bright Prospects for 1905 Give Market
Strong Tone.

Cleveland, Dec. 1.-Actual develop
ments from week to week as well as the
well-founded expectation that 1905 is to
be year of large consumption OF iron
and steel in the United States, says the
Iron Trade Review, give a very strong
tone to the market. In the past week
a further advance in Northern pig iron
has taken place, and bar iron is from S
to So higher, while old material has ad-
vanced in all markets.
While the number of pig iron buyers
the past week was small compared with
that of month or six weeks ago, they
represented in not few cases large
consuming capacity, and the size OF
their purchases at the newly established
level indicates how unexpected the up
turn was, also the ability of producers
to get success lively higher prices in re-
cent weeks.
Bar iron has advanced So ton fur
Their and $1.55 Pittsburg is now the
price of the leading. producer. High
scrap made the position of iron rolling
mills far from comfortable at the ole
price for their product.
Among advances expected, which may
be effective by the time this review il
read, is one Of So to 81 on wire good
and 50 ton on wire nails. Anothe
advance in merchant pipe is also looked

Chicago, Dec. ALL the nations Of

tant time, according to Dr.. Judson, head

Of the Midway faculty, in a lecture de-

| The events of the last century, and
especially those of the last decade,
point to a certain change in the politi-

he believes.
Extensive commercial relations, the
great investment of capital by foreign
ers and the good treatment given aliens
for predicting wide world govern
ment. The rapid spread Of civilization
and Of law and order thruout; the great
er nations and the successful results
gained in educating the more savage
peoples foreshadow the Utopian
nation, he says. 4. ...
.'''There are significant things in the
world today and also in the past fifty
years which leads me to the opinion
that at some day, and believe at a
not far distant date, we will see every
country on earth working in unison,
with one central government and one
| head,' he declared.
! "A great WORLDWIDE naJlon Will re-
suit from political and social conditions
now working. During the past fifty
years there has been a tendency more
and more for stronger commercial rela-

much more consideration. Besides this,
