The Iron Market

The Iron Age says
Rail business has come out in an
encouraging way in the last week The
Great Northern has placed orders for
4 }, 600 tons with three manufacturers,
minor portion Of which are 10 be open
hearth rails The Atlantic Coast line
has ordered 5000 tons and the.Ontar 10
aud Western has bought 3. 100 tons.
Generally speaking, finished lines
give better account Of themselves this
week. The steel trade suffered more
acutely than the pig iron trade in the
October collapse. and now the condi-
tions as to relative activity areErever-
sed. The largest manufacturers, from
operating only 9s per cent.of its rolling
capacity, just following the panic. has
now come up TO 81 per cent While
few Of the steel companies have yet
reached so per cent there mas been an
increase in working forces.
The lighter finished lines lead in
activity, but in structural material
February makes better showing than
January. The current bookings of
fabricating plants represent from %
70 80 per cent Of capacity.
The Iron Trade Review says:
The most encouraging feature OF
the week was the placing OF orders for
steel rails. Many other inquiries are
pending The principal orders were
for 45, 900 tons from the Great Northern
railway, Of which go. 600 tons go to the
United States Steel corporation, 10, OOO
tons 10 the Pennsylvania Steel com
pany, and 10. 900 tons to the Lacawanna
Steel company the New York, Ontario
and Western railway o, 100 tons to the
LacKawanna Steel company Atlantic
Coast line. $, 900 tons TO the Pennsyl.

An apparently sincere desire to
adhere to prices announced last week
for sales Of pig iron in the central west
is being manifested. The principal
inquiries pending are for basic in the

mere political claptrap and buncombe.
Ii is a matter Of record, which any
one may easily verify by writing to Il Q
Legislative department OF the state
library, that il was not the so-called
boxer opposition which was respons
sible for the defeat of the laws deemed
so important. They fell by the way
side at the hands of the governor
friends. the'4O per cent clause elimiua-
tion excepted. Senator Kinnane, one
Of the sboxer'' leaders introduced the
telephone and telegraph taxation bill
and it was KILLED In the house by the
governor friends The bin TO prevent
''stock watering" met its death in a
senate committee, appointed by 1 cut.
Gov. Kelly the governors ally, the
majority OF whose members were
friends of the governor The anti
lobby bin was introduced in the house
and was killed there. and not by the
boxer senators So far as the prim-
airy bill which was passed by the legis-
lature is concerned 10 WAS notable
improvement upon the so-called ad-
ministration measure, though in the
governors eyes wholly unsatistied
because the 40 per cent provision was
not eliminated, as desired by the GOV
ernor In the interest OF Lieut. Gov.
Kelly, whom he had selected to inherit
his mantle.
Once more comes Gov. Warner, how
ever, to cnarge the defeat of these
measures to the "boxer opposition
and to ask the people to give him a
third term that he may make third
trial to procure for them the enactment
of laws which he was unable to prevent
his. allies from killing, for that is what
his latest statement amounts to. The
proposal to step aside If special sess-
ion will do as he wishes is merely a
shrewd play made in the hope Of add
ing plausibility to mis- argument Of his
own case.
Gov Warmers plea is adroit but il
would be stronger II it was based upon
tenable premises. But those who are
familiar with the history of the last
regular and special sessions knows that
it is not. Therein, IL must be confess
ed, lies its weakness and it's specious
ness. Governor Warner has given the
state, in the main, an excellent ad
ministration. 1t is regrettable indeed
that he should sully his admirable re
cord by artful appeals for continua
tion Of the honors already layishl,
conferred upon him. State Republican

FINANCIAL WORLD WATCHES
STEEL CORPORATIONS TEST

In addition to the test of the Steel
Corporation ability to maintain
dividends the present year will also
demonstrate the control over the trade
exercised by the United States corpora
tion and few other manufacturers. :
says the Boston Financial News IL
it is shown that prices can be main
taine1 and that the production can be
40 regulated TO the consumption as to
prevent the accumulation Of surplus
stocks, then investment confidence in
this, the country's greatest CORPORA
tion, will be very greatly increased. 1t
is obvious that il the corporation comes
off this year test successfully, that
the holders Of It's securities have very
bright future before them. IL will
show further also the value of thor
oughly controlled industry to the COM
mercial world. for he same control
has been used in the past in holding
prices down in loom times for one
thing, and for another that recovery
under such conditions Is quicker be-
cause It is not retarded by the necessity
Of using up accumulations OF materials
II will also prove one pet theory Of
the beaiish element, viz that the Steel
company could not live without the
heavy railway demand forced to it by
the same men as control it.

A mans duty to his wife is not ended
