The lake strike is held responsible
for a great deal of the hesitancy in the
iron ore business Few boats are ar

have the trouble on the lakes at this
time as the market conditions. the de.
lay in passing the tariff bill and other
depressing influences are keeping down
the sales of ore and would make the
season a tagging one if there was no
strike
But very little ore is going down
the lakes. Enough boats are moving
TO make room at the docks for what
ore is being shipped and that is about
all.
At the local mines the outputs of all
the working mines is being shipped but
there is no intimation of any stocked
ore being sold.
The Dunn. Tobin and Bristol are
forwarding good sized outputs and the
Western is making good shipment
when she works. but Fridays and Sat
urdays are off days for the present at
this property which brings down the
output materially.
The Mansfield has not commenced tc
ship yet but intends TO clean up all the
ore in stock and all that can be hoisted
this shipping season. At the present
time an output OF about 400 tons pei
day is maintained and just about 1OC

In order to get rid of the big piles OF

REVIEW OF THE IRON TRADE
Outlook is More Favorable than at Anytime
Since 1907

The Iron Trade Review says
The outlook in the iron trade IS
now more favorable than at any time
since the fall of 1907. The menace OF
prices being too rapidly advanced is
the only cloud in the sky. The recent
increase in demand for both finished
products and pig iron shows a teuden-
cy to recuperate more promptly than
was anticipated. There is distinct
trend toward better conditions. The
steel industry is really prosperous in
most of its branches and in some lines
the tonnage output is close to the best
on record.
''All this year the country has been
producing pig iron at a rate close to
20, 000 900 tons year. which is less
than 1000, 900 tons short OF the best
output in any calendar The steel cor
poration is now operating go per cent
Of It's blast furnace capacity. which,
in view Of the Gary improvements, is
about 70 per cent Of what was normal
year ago. In spite of this fact, cor
poration stocks Of pig iron are low.
THE pig iron market continues fair
ly active and there has been more bny-
ing of steel making grades. Southern
iron for prompt shipment is weak and
the outlook for the last half is not en-
tirely satisfactory. Valley prices are
firmer. Prices In the central west are
firmer. but competition has been strong
IN the east and some low prices have
been named.
The Iron Age says
the maxim OF fam ous steel
maker, now retired. was that prelimin-
airy TO lifting the market was 10 get
underneath. The latter process seems
to have been pretty completely accom-
plished and the effort TO effect the-for
mer is now under way. IL is not with
out its uncertainties, .and until quite
recently exceptions were numerous.
I'm staple lines jobbers have loaded
mp quite heavily. and to that extent
no really new business has been creat-
ed But there is strong evidence. too
that the low prices have decidedly en-
couraged consumption and brought out
dormant business from the standpoint
OF profits the accumulations Of large
amount of tonnage is not cheerful
development. and considerable sums
have been sacrificed through their ad
justment to the basis Of present prices
for current and future deliveries on
contracts entered prior TO February AT

NEW YORK March 2o.-GeorGe

That the foreigner does not excel our
American drivers in any OF the neces-
sary qualifications that are required

is brought out in the following state
ment by Salzman:

take the liberty of stating right here
that within the next few years you
will see our American drivers SHINE
inst the same as the Americans do In
other branches Of sport. Take our

will find that American cars with

lutely that American stock cars are

that is accomplished by specially built

Germs have specialized and expert
