United States Steel.

The United States Steel corpora
ton has received from it's representa-
tives in Canada detailed estimates of
the cost of erecting mills in Canada
capable Of meeting the opposition of
Dominion companies under the new
duty laws. The exact amount is noe
known, but it is said to aggregate
not less than $4,000 for the plant
and sites alone. Owning all the raw
materials needed in both coal and
ores, the corporation plant in Canada,
would have to pay out money only for
the site and plant which accounts for
the small estimate given as the pos
sible amount it may spend. A Cana
dian subsidiary would be useful to
the corporation in aiding it to main
tain its hold upon Canadian trade, as
well as to help it promoting trade
which would be handled better from
Canada than any other point. This
would apply at once to trade with
England and later to trade with Aus
tralia. Australia is considering bill
presented in Parliament, and now
pending, which seeks to establish ex-
ceedingly liberal bounties for the
building up of its steel and iron in
dustry. The measure is expected to
become a law in some form soon. Its
effect upon this country's trade with
Australia will be restrictive. In its
present form the measure provides
among other things for the establish
ment Of a bounty of $3.50 per ton
upon iron, and duty OF not less than
10 per cent upon the value of manu-
featured steel and iron. A plant in
Canada controlled by the Steel cor
poration would be of decided benefit
to it in holding its trade with Aus
tralia should SUCH a law as the pend
ing one be passed. 1t is positively
stated, however, that as yet the cor
poration has done nothing more than
secure estimates. but that it is pre-
pared to act. should the conditions
justify, is not denied. Iron Ore.
