OUTLOOK FOR IRON

Cleveland, Ohio, March 16.-(Spe- cial.)-The Iron Trade Review tomor- row will say:
 Although the United States Steel cor poration shipments against contracts during March will exceed 1,000,000 tons and independent interests will be equal ly busy, all are having difficulty in satisfying customers on delivery, which are long delayed on a number of products, especially on steel bars Heavy specifications are being received on bars, tubes, tin plates and sheets tinues good and the general outlook for domestic and foreign business is much more encouraging than it was a few weeks ago.
 Railroads found that during the very severe winter many of their 1ocomo- quired and 1t is confidently expect ed that orders soon to be placed wi be very heavy. Prospects for car buy ing are also excellent, one company having figures out on over 50,0C0 cars. The principal rail order placed the past week was of the Southern rail. way for 45000 tons.
 The most talked of order during Il past week was that of the Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing company for 15,000 tons for the Cleve- land and Allegheny plants. The iron will be furnished by nearby plants and although some low quotations ", made by these companies there was

 From the Baltimore Sun.
 Despite the furious launching of battle ships and drilling of armies in England, France and Germany, there is no abate- ment in the commercial and industrial enterprises that belong to peace. In all parts of the world new markets are being opened and man is conquering desert and mountain. Rivers are being harnessed at the rate of hundreds of thousands of horsepower a year; vast irrigation schemes are being carried out in both hemispheres, and new railroads are fast

A few years ago 1t was Cecil ho es dream and nothing more. but to- day it's rails extend to the very heart of Africa. Civilized towns have sprung up at the Victoria Falls and on Lake Vic toria Nyanza. and by 1920 through trains will be running from the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope, T. American railway has been making prog ress, too, though not so rapidly. But a few more links are needed to make possi- ble an unbroken journey by train from Boston to Panama.
 Meanwhile a number of other epoch- making lines are projected or under way.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-03-17

Trains now run to within few miles of Mecca, and the British are talking of building a line to Llassa, in Tibet. A road through Mesopotamia, with branch to what Sir William Willcocks calls the site of the Garden of Eden, has been sur- veyed. and German engineers are now planning a line designated to opep the whole of Asia Minor to commerce.. In 'n new world the Canadians are prepar- ing to lay rails to Hudson Bay, and the Chleans and Argentines have just opened an extraordinary road over the Andes. connecting Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres. It's highest point is 10,350 feet above the sea and it boasts tunnel two miles long. 1t should be ready for traffic by March 31.
 In the far east there is similar activity among the railroad engineers. The Rus sans announce that they will soon be- gin double-tracking the 1000 miles of the

Comparative Railroad Statistics

From the Railway World.
 A report from Washington states that railroad construction in the United States during the 20 years has been greatly cur tailed as compared with the similar period prior to 1890, statistics showing that 110.6SO miles of road were built from 1870 to 1890 and about 6s,400 miles from 1890 to the present timG which indicates a decrease of nearly 37 per cent in mileage of road constructed during the latter period. The actual revival of rail- road building came with more prosperous times during 1898, and from 1899 to 1909 about 43.700 miles, or s per cent of the roads projected during the 20 years were constructed.
 Construction progressed rather moder- ately throughout the northeastern and middle western states, but was carried on extensively in the southern, south- western and northwestern states In the IS years from 1890 to 1907 mileage of rail- ways increased 45.34 per cent. while rail- way capitalization. including etocks and bonds, increased disproportionately, T9 per cent; capital stocks. 66S4 per cent and bonds, 90.H per cent. Total capitalize tion per mile of road operated advanced from $57, AZ in 1890 to s7o,7o in 1907, or 23 .09 per cent.

 "Offenberg was the first city to erect a monument of this kind. The upper part consists of a statue of Sir Francis Drake, who introduced the plant into Europe This, as well as the pedestal, ia draped with garlands of the potato vine. with full grown tubers.
 ''On the pedestal. on one side, Is Sir Francis Drakes name. the second side explains what blessing the potato has been to mankind. the third records that the statue Is gift of certain Andrew Frederick nf .StrRaburg, the fourth con- tafns tlle names Of the erectors. ~ atatns similar to this Is placed in the t6Vn Of Murz. and have been told thot there are other copies in many small toHns."
