hemisphere, the commerce between
North and South America had been in
significant in volume and the CONNER
cial nations of Europe were monopo-
liztng the trade of Latin America.
Substantial Results.
So to meet this condition and to eff
feet an exchange of natural and manu-
featured commodities to the mutual
benefit Of the countries of North, Cen.
trail and South America after many
months of negotiation necessary to al
lay the jealouses Of the lesser states.
in October, 1889, representatives of all
the republics of the three Americas
gathered in Washington, and after a
brief tour of the principal Industrial
cities Of the country, were called to
order by Secretary Blaine to consider
measures for the common veal. Many
important subjects were discussed dur
Ing that conference; in fact it has been
thought that the program was too pre-
tentious, but substantial results were
achieved.
Things Accomplished.
The survey for the inter-continental
railway, now making rapid strides
toward completion, was inaugurated
Provision was made for securing uni.
fornity Of customs regulations so far
as the different business methods OF
the various countries would admit
The bureau Of American republics was
created and is now doing useful work
An advance was made toward general
reciprocity, though the project has
even yet failed to reach fruition. A
monetary commission was had
with sensible benefit to the currency
relations Of the American republics
The metric system moved ahead an
other step; being authorized in the
customs service Of the United States
and other countries These were all
valuable achievements, but there was
more to be done and the conference
recommended that the work be car
ried forward by another congress.
This second conference was held in
the City of Mexico, in 1901-02, while
many Of its recommendations have moi
yet been generally carried into effect
this second gathering also was produc
tive of good. What was accomplished
was this: The approval of Guatemala
Salvador and Honduras of all the
twenty-three instruments signed a
The Hague, the approval of the United
States Of the convention for the ex
change of publications; the treaty or
pecuniary claims and the scheme fol-
the reorganization Of the Bureau O.
American Republics, the approval b,
several of the South and Central Amer
lean nations Of some of the most i'm
portant of the treaties proposed by thu
second conference; subsequent con
crosses which adopted regulations fo
the Improvement of customs relations
sanitation Of American port cities ant
the regulation of the coffee growing in
dustry But this conference also lef
i behind it unfinished work hence THU
gathering at Rio Janeiro. TIL,
City of Mexico conference felt that tn,
ten-year period proposed by the orig
inal conference for the holding of sucl
family gatherings was too long ant
proposed f1ve-year period.
SO the Rio Janeiro conference will
open under the most promising aus
pices with the purpose of considering
program fully equal in Importance t
tat which was laid before any Of tn
preceding gatherings.

IRON AND STEEL.
Moderate Activity in Pig Iren Markets
Steady and Large Demands for Steel.

The past weeks markets for pig iron we're
marked by a slight improvement in sales OF
foundry iron in the Last and West and by
heavy bu ying in Bessemer and basic. in which
all the great steel mills took part. Toward
the end of the week moderate activity was
general in the placing Of melting require
ments by machinery makers and pipe casters.
A great many important consumers OF foun-
dry iron whose stocks OF iron are small
and whose works are running full time are
holding OF from iron buying. Among the
smaller consuming interests In foundry
grades there is a good degree Of buying for
as prompt deliveries as can be made. The
country over the statistical position OF pig
iron is very strong. Furnace operators and
founders all agree in the belief that business
Is shaping out for a remarkably prosperous
season from July till the close Of the year.
IN a number of important pig iron consum-
ing industries contracts on hand assur Q
full emplo ynent till the close Of the year.
and in other cases business now on the books
will make for deliveries we'll into next year.
Prices are unchanged through the entire
list Of pig irons.
