IRON AGE GETTING OLD.
Orer Three Billion Tons of Ore No7c
Used Sapmng the Supply.

II Is estimated that the iron used to date in
the worlds industries aggregates 330O00OO00 tons
and that the consumption of raw iron has multi
piled twenty-five times since the first ore was ex-
tracted and utilized. In 1900 the world consumed
100000 while at the end of the nineteenth century
the figures were 100000 tons. President Hatfield
of the Iron and Steel Institute of England said, in
Nav 1qO5 that the demands Of the century in
from taking as a basis the production of the last
thirty years would amount TO about $4,000 100000
tons of ore If this estimate is accepted, the stock
Of iron in the earth would be exhausted before the
beginning of the twenty-irst century.
In view of this fact many predictions have been
made regarding the commodity which will take the
place Of iron when the supply is exhausted. When
this happens recourse must be had to ores contain
ing only a small part of iron, with the obvious
suit that iron would longer be article of ordi
nary use. One scientist has declared that the age
of iron win be superseded by the age of aluminium
Another says that the world will still have access
to 10G0OO0OoO tons of iron ore. of which Ger
many will supply 2,200.OOO,OOO; SPAIN 10000 0C0;
Sweden 900 O0OOO0 the United States, LOO OO0
and England. 1OOOOl0OOO. These predictions. how
ever would be nullied by the discovery Cf fields
and improved method Of extraction. Professor
A. f. Toernebohm. president of the Geological Blu
reau Of Sweden in a report to the Swedish Parlia-
ment says that II may be predicted with cer-
talnty that the iron layers in North America. Ger
many and England will be exhausted in one two
centuries the richest layers even sooner. The chief
sufferer will be England for the coal fields of
Durham and Northumberland will have ceased to
exist In from $50 to 800 years.
The coal supply. in the United States and Ger
many will last longer, and it has been established
that the iron ore usually follows the coal Beyond
the countries sharing in the iron industry the
awakening of China. with its rich ore and coal
beds will have an extensive influence. However
should the inventive genius accomplish the extrac-
ton of iron from the ore without the consumption
NJ much coal conditions will be materially changed
some specialists draw attention TO the coal fields
in Russia Algeria. China. CUBA, etc Discoveries

Was the Stock Market Yesterday and
All Efforts to Arouse interest
Utterly Failed.

New York. July l0.-The market
lapscd into condition of extreme
lie hargy today, the shrinkage from
yesterdays volume being about in
proportion Of yesterdays shrinkage
from last weeks average. Complete
stagnation prevailed for long inter
val in the trading. Traders gave up
attempts TO contest the dizziness and
found no profit in insignificant inter
changes amongst themselves. There
was some effort to await the appear
ance of the government crop report
but the somnolent stare of the market
was poor argument for coming ac-
tivity. The actual appearance of the
report failed entirely to revive the
market, although its showing was
fully up to anticipations which had
been sanguine. Much attention was
attracted by the abstract sent out
from Washington of the condition OF
the national banks as of June IS and
its striking showing Of combined
heavy demand for credits. Compared
with the previous call on April 9 there
has been an increase of 77405.752 in
individual deposits accompanying the
expansion Of $50 73S.737 cash reserves
with the growth in rne loan item in
