THE USE OF IRON.
It's Erect In the Industrial World Aa
Darometer of Trnde.

It's Eject In the Industrial world as
barometer of Trade.
There is an old industrial tradition
that the iron market is the barometer
of trade" This saying has been as
cribed TO many modern authorities, 4
ranging from Jay Gould to Andrew
Carnegie. As a matter Of fact. it is
much older than any oracle of this cen
fury or the last. 1t had its origin in
the earliest days Of the period wheu
iron Manufacture and the use of credit
were simultaneously rising to impor-
tance. The basis for the tradition is
that the use of iron and of its products
is essential for the prosecution of yir-
tually all other industries. Before the
output of miscellaneous manufactures
in community can be much enlarged
the industries concerned must be equip
ped with new tools and new machinery.
Before a railroad system can be pre-
pared to transport a greatly increased
traffic it must have new rails, new
bridges, new stations, new cars and
new locomotives. In these days Of tho
steel and iron office building a boom
in the building trade cannot go far
without increasing enormously the de-
mand for structural iron Even in tho
agricultural industry it may be said
that expansion and prosperity involve
necessarily largely increased demand
for farm machinery. Since the use OF
such additional equipment must pre-1
cede any increase in the business of
these other trades it naturally follows,
first, that demand in the iron market
will be felt aggressively even before the
other industries have shown full meas
ure Of activity, and, second. that IL
such other industries foresee a period
of slack demand and idle mills the first
thing they will do will be TO reduce
their orders from the iron and steel
