John Stuart Mill,

James Mill, his father, was a hard
man, a clever man, and a crank-a
hedonist capable of making himself
thoroughly disagreeable about the
greatest happiness of the greatest
number; a theorist who regarded his
clever son as a suitable object for ed
vocational experiments.
He would not send him to school
because schools were the fortresses
of prejudice" and taught e>wrong
things in the wrong way. He pro-
vided him with no playmates, and al
lowed him no holidays, lest the habit
of work should be broken. Francis
Gribble, in Fortnightly Review.

IRON AND STEEL.
increasing Volume OF Pig Iron Demands
Active Markets for Steel Products.

VII ~
The Domestic pig iron markets last week
reflected increasing demands throughout
the East and West. The amount or business
in sight for foundry iron in the Eastern states
and the central West Is very large. Among
the negotiations about to be closed are speclh-
cations that will take q number of large fur-
naces out Of the market to the end OF the year.
Among founders in general stocks are down
to the bottom OF the stock piles. and the nu-
merous inquiries for spot iron witness that the
holding of movement was adhered to untl
stocks were almost consumed.
The coal strike bugabgo has ceased to have
any effect upon the iron market, except in
the small areas which are Classed as the par
ticular provinces for the business of a few
furnaces that depend upon anthracite. Foun-
ders hereabOuts say there is nothing but theat-
rical claptrap in the shutting down OF a num-
Der of Eastern fuTna ces on the alleged ground
that fuel cannot be had. Large machinery
makers in the vicinity of these furnaces are
of a like mind. regarding the withdrawal OF
the furnaces as a spectacular part OF a scheme
by speculative interests that are trying 10
manipulate certain industrials. Southern
iron for Eastern and Western recount is
moving fairly well because Of Improvement
of car service. SO far as the consumers Of
pig iron can see forward the prospects for
full employment through the year are encour-
aging. 4 Prices for all grades of pig iron are
firm. tt ere is a general opinion that later on
there will be a slightly upward trend in
foundry iron,

LittleInew usiness of importance was booked
by the large steel mills in the last week, and
on the whole the week was dull for car makers
and locomotive builders. All works in those
lines are crowded with orders and there is
a great deal of new business that is moving
slowly through the specification drawing
ofhces of railroads.. A number of important
electric and steam power apparatus manu-
faoturers and railroad material makers that
are indirectly connected with one of the largest
banking houses in Wall Street are assured
OF very large orders from Russia so soon
as mo ey shall have become available under
the loans recently made by French and
British interests. Foreign agents for a
number OF important domestic makers of
steel products report excellent prospects
for business. especially in British colonies.
The tin plate market is becoming active
under large demands by can makers and
tinsmiths. Exports of domestic tin plate
are shaping for a high record year. These
products are finding markets In Canada,
where until lately hidebound conservatism
adhered to English plates until the outputs
of many Welsh makers we're found to be
dishonesty made. Since these defects have
been advertised in the best metal trade
papers of England, there has been an in
c~reasing demand in a number of British
colonies for American plates. which are the
best in the world, both as to material and
amount of tin deposition.
Demands for struct ural steel and steel
reenforcements for f~erro-concrete CONSTRUCT
tion continue abnormslly large. The we'll
sold forward condition of the structural
steel mills. and the declared intention to give

liveries, is having the effect OF postponing
