RECORD PRODUCTION IN
STRUCTURAL IRON.
Made by American Bridge Co. During
. Month of August-General Trade
Conditions Still Good.

CLEVELAND. o., Sept. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review, in it's issue today, says;
The pig iron market has been more
active in the East, but is dull in the
West and prices are lower.
"A new record in structural material
was made by the American Bridge
Company in August. the production
being SIS, 700 tons. 1t is expected that
a still better record will be made in
October. Recent orders of structural
material include 5000 tons of bridge
material awarded by a Western rail-
road to the American Bridge Company.
and a numbe of other heavy railroad
orders are pending. Independent in
terests have obtained their share Of
work, including three Chicago jobs. all
over 1000 tons, and the superstructure
of the new court house at Cleveland.
Deliveries on sheets have much inn
proved, and the demand is decreased.
Independents ship very promptly.
There has been strong competition on
rathe small tonnages of sheets and
persistent reports of cutting in prices
are in circulation. Some important in
~terests, which have been obtaining
large premiums on plates for a number
of months, are now taking desirable
business at $1.70 Pittsburg. Tin plate
orders are not numerous.
THE demand for coke continues
strong, and prices are well maintained.
The old material market shows in
creased signs of weakness with prices
lower in nearly all centres"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-In a report

will greatly increase their sales of timed
meats. Consular Clerk NJ. B. Kirk, Of
Paris, writes;
'.There are in this country a large num-
her of poor Jewish families, who have
been unable to profit by the c~heapness OF

are forbidden to eat meat that Is not

MARINE TELEPHONES.
Canada Establishes Signal System for
Safety of Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19,-vice-Consul
General Patrick German, of Montreal. ad-
vises that the Canadian Department of
Marine and Fisheries has just added a
telephone marine signal system for the
safety of large ocean vessels between
Montreal and Quebec, a distance of $50
miles, concerning which he says:
Tins service provides a system Of COM
munication between ships and shore. and
enables the owners and agents to know of
the progress of ships between cities. 1t
will also enable the. captains of vessels to
learn of the condition of affairs in the
river and to avoid any unusual or unex-
pected danger. The eleven stations are
situated at the following points: Montreal.
Tongue Pointe, Yercheres, Sorel, Three
Rivers, Batiscan, Cap a la Roche, Port
neuf, st. Nicholas. Cap Rouge and Quebec.
These stations will command a view of the
river and the channel, and may be easily
communicated with from passing vessels.
Six of the stations will be in operation day
and night, the others being day static rs
only.

AVERAGE READING
FARE VERY LOW.
Passengers Within Past Year Have Paid
But Fraction over One and a Half
Cents Per Mile.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1s.-The average
rate Of fare per mile paid by the 29.970,J 28
passengers carried by the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company during the year
ending June 80. 1907, was 1884 cents. This
fact is one Of the most interesting in the
annual report adopted by the directors, tol-
lowing a year OF unequaled prosperity.
Last year the rate was 1857 cents.
The large suburban passenger business
of the Reading of course reduces the aver
age rate of fare ever though the long-dis-
lance riders pay more than the maximum
imposed by the two-cent fare law, the
constitutionality of which Is now being
tested by the allied railroad interests OF
the State.

MEN TO FRONT
IN STANDARD OIL.
wall Street Believes That the Founders
of Big Trust Have Already Practically
Retired from Management.


NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-wall Street
veneraIly believes that a new era In
the n~ersonnel of the Standard Oil Com
panv's leaders is beginning. 1t is
thought that the younger element IN
the great corporation is coming to the
front and that the older element is re-
linouishing it's active hold upon the
AFFAIRS of the company, and of the vast
interests which have been animated
with It. John D. Rockefeller, jr., Will
lam G. Rockefeller, Urban H.. Brough-
ton. a son-in-law of H. II. Rogers, n
II. Fl. Rogers. jr, are among the
Younger men who are looked upon by
the street as now directing affairs.
william Rockefeller is regarded as
likely to take a principal part still IN
the company's councils, but most OF the
other men who have been called the
of the Standard Oil Company
including John d. Rockefeller sr'. Jonh
D.. Archbold and H. H. Rogers, are ex-
pected hereafter to leave to their
juniors the task of handling the giant
business which they founded.
What leads the street to hold these
views Is the recent decision of the di-
rectorate of the Amalgamated Copper
Company to cut down the output of the
mines TO one-half the normal 1t is
held that this is a departure from the
policy which was pursued several years
ago when the copper market was de-
clining. and that 1t signifies that the
Younger element is in actual control.
Urban H. Broughton is deemed a par
ticularly interesting figure in the new
order of things. Mr.. ~Broughton is an
Englishman, who came to this country
as a mining engineer. He married the
daughter of H. H. Rogers and was
placed in charge of the United Metals
Selling Company. through which the
Amalgamated and a number of other
large copper producers sell all their
metal.

COAL IN F0RM0SA.
Mining Machinery Now Taking Place
of Old Hand Labor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1e.-According to
Consul ]. H. Arnold. of Tamsui, there are
about 100, 900 tons of coal mined In m
each year. The bulk of this is mined In the
vicinity of Kelung by native miners, who
for the most part use primitive methods.
One of the larger mines is owned and
operated by japanese, who have installed
machinery in the plant.
AS a result of the success of this mine,
native owners are becoming convinced of
the economy of machine methods over
primitive hand methods, and some have
already taken steps to secure machinery.
Among the equipment required are engines.
hoisting buckets. water and air pumps
rails and ears. There Is no way of reach
ing these native mine owners except
through some person conversant with their
language.

FISH BALLS IN NORWAY.
ALI Sorts of Sea Swimmers Used in this
Manufacture. :

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.1In reply to
a Seattle inquiry, Consul-Geheral Henry
Bordewich. of Christiania, says tina
various kinds OF fish are used in the
manufacture of fish balls" prepared
and came in Norway for export. The
mostly used is paddock, because
it is cheap and well suited for the pur-
pose; cod of all sizes and varieties, as
well as ling, is also used, 1t being con-
sidered the best material, but rather
expensive.
Fish balls are also made from coal
fish and pollock, which forms the cheap
est material. In the opinion of the con-
sui general there is no reason why fish
balls and several other Norwegian
fishery products could not Just as well
be produced on the Pacific coast.
