TRADE CONDITIONS soU;lD
Industry at Home and Trade Abroad
Indicate the Continuance
Of Prosperity.

A bit of good news comes from the
Pittsburg district, one of the greatest
centers of the steel and iron business
not only OF the United States, but of the
whole world. 1t Is to the effect. states
the Troy Times, that there will not be
the customary summer shutdown and
that operations will continue unbroken.
and with full force of employees. 1t has
been usual to discontinue work in the
steel mills for month or two at this
season and that programme has been
regarded by wage earners as quite the
regular proceeding. With work going
on the advantage in the way of addi-
tional income will be readily apparent.
There will be no closing of the estab-
lishments even for repairs, as whatever
is necessary to be done In that line will
be looked after as we'll as possible with
work at full blast.
Additional significance is given to this
statement because wages in the steel in
dustries have been kept to high
level, and in very many instances have
been considerably increased of late.
Il ~
tween the employers and their men are
of the most amicable sort, and that good
feeling and satisfaction exist on both
sides. The situation is assurance OF
continued prosperity and enlarging ac-
tivity. The mills are kept busy and the
men are getting good pay because there
is a great demand for iron and steel
This demand, of course, Is largest at
home. but it is not confined TO the
United States. On the contrary, as the
official figures show, we are exporting
more manufactures than ever before.
and iron and steel articles form great
and increasing proportion of them.
At the same time. there are many
crude products which American mills
cannot turn out in proportions sufficient
to meet all home demands. and these
have to be procured from abroad. This
helps to account for the large imports
of steel billets and also of other articles
which are necessary in order to supply
domestic requirements. The work OF
Transforming these into finished Ameri-
can products gives employment tothou-
sands OF persons at American wages,
and so there is direct benefit to the
mass of handicraftsmen, most of them
skilled in their calling. Looked at in
this light there is no cause for alarm at
the big imports, which for the II months
of the fiscal year ended with May
amounted to $1.027, 900 900. the largest
in our history and $1S,000,000 more than
the imports for the same period last
year. Exports were also large. the to-
tai for the II months mentioned having
been 1897 .OOO, 900, against 81 1867 ,O0O,-
900 in 1904.
Industry at home and our trade abroad
both stand on the soundest footing. with
everything to indicate that present con-
ditions are likely to be maintained in
definitely. The steel business continues
to be a reasonably accurate barometer,
and 1t points to fair weather.

NEW SYSTEM IN THE NAVY
Means Promotion and Advance IN
Pay to Old Men and Fresh
Inducement to New.

The navy department Is about to put
into effect new system of training
landsmcn for service on warships. Un-
der the new status, reports the WASH
ington Star, the ratings apprentice"
and "landsman" are abolished, and all
the new recruits are known as ''appren-
ticc seamen." Boys are enlisted at the
pay of SIG a month from the age of II
years. Those under the age of Is are re-
quired to have the consent of parents
or guardians, and will be enlisted until
listed for four years at the same pay.
In order that no injustice may be done
to the GIG apprentices and 1.053 lands
men now under training in the navy:
and who, of course, entered under the
old conditions, all will be granted as
the new plan. This will mean promo
ton for many of the apprentices now in
the service to the rating of seaman" or
ordinary seaman"
AS a result of the observations made
by naval authorities preparatory to de-
vising the new system, the training OF
landsmen for 18 months gave. for all
practical purposes, results quite as sat.
isfctory as the training of apprentices
for three years Accordingly the short
er time limit has been adopted in map
ping out the new plan of instruction:
Under the new system. as under the
old, the young recruit will not be sent
In, N, ad a aIv unop opIictp,apt ohoa rd a
training ship. Instead his first months
of service will be spent at shore sta
ton, where he will learn to care for
his person and clothing, and receive in
struction along variety of lines, in
GLIDING infantry and small arms drill
and the loading and aiming Of four
inch and five-inch guns, dummy charges
being employed in these operations.
While at the shore stations the boys
will also make trips in tugs or yachts,
upon which they will be taught to steer.
to heave the lead, to sc. under way and
to anchor.
When they have mastered this por-
ton of the instruction the boys will be
transferred to training ships for what
might be called their graduate
course. The embryo sailor speedily
learns to go aloft and make and furl
sail, and is given preliminary course
in seamanship, including knowledge OF
all the different kinds and parts of
boats, how to exercise boats under sail
and oars, all about lighthouses, buoys,
running lights, fog signals, rules Of tn ,
road at sea, construction and boxing
the compass, study of tides and many
other things.
Then there is course In theoretical
gunnery, which teaches the young sea
man not only how to shoot straight
with any piece of ordnance on the ves-
sci. but also how to repair the ordnance
with the facilities at hand in case of &C
cidcnt.
A large feet of training ships is avail
able for the instruction of the new ZAP
prentice seamen." This fleet includes
the Buffalo. Dixie, Yankee. Prairie, ALI
ance. Hartford. Monongahela, Column
bia, Minneapolis, Alert, Mohican and
Adams. Most of these vessels will be
continuously in service on the Allan
tic coast. In summer they rendezvous
in Long Island sound. Spring and fall
find them in Chesapeake bay, and in
winter they are off the Florida coast.
