TRANSPORTATION a Vital Factor.

a conspicuous example of the detcrmin-
ing influence i'll trade of favorable freight
rates is reported from Europe in the
award to German steel makers of a large
order from South America for the filling
of which steel makers in the United
States had made n bid. The order went
to the Stahlwerks Nerbund. the Ger
man syndicate which is the largest pro-
ducer Of steel rails i'll Europe, and which
handles about so per cent. of the steel
output of the German empire.
There is no better metal of its class
than the steel produced in the United
States by the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation, and if the placing of
the order was dependent upon the
merit of the steel, there would be no
doubt as to Americas standing i'll com
petition. She would at least be on an
equal footing with the producers of the
very best in the Old World. But it was
the cost of shipment to South America
that settled the matter Under The most
favora BILE conditions, the cost Of delivery
ing the rails from the Pittsburg district
to Rosario, the South American destina-
ton, would have been So a ton, or an
aggregate of $15OOOO for the full con-
signment. The Germans can deliver the
rails in South America for 81. 80 q ton,
probably because the transportation is
entirely by water, and thus effect a saw
ing of SS7, 500 for the purchaser as
shipment from the interior American
mills.
Pittsburgs handicap in this instance
was the rail haul to the coast. This
will probably be eventually removed by
the establishment of steel mills along
the Atlantic A writer in the current
number of the Engineering Magazine
states that eventually the coal and low
grade iron in the Appalachian fields
along the Atlantic coast will be utilized
for the manufacture Of steel in con
junction with rich foreign ores at points
adjacent to water transportation. He
points out that the duty on imported ores
would be related on foreign shipments
of the finished product, but even with
out this provision the ores used by a
seaboard plant would not cost more than
lake ore at Pittsburg." This is Of great
interest III connection with the loss Of
the South American order for steel rails
to the German steel manufacturers.
