Iron and Steel In 1909.

The iron and steel industry closed
the year 1909 under favorable cir.
cumstanees. according to the Iron
Trade Review. In practically all fin
ished lines. says this authority. ''the
mills were operating at high tide
gaits'' and their books SO filled with
undelivered orders that activities will
be continued for months to come. The
years closing prices for finished steel
products were very close to the open
ing prices
The Review concludes:
''The year 1909 will always be re,
membered as the year in which the
effort to maintain finished steel prices
collapsed. but in the light of the his.
tory since made it will be well to re-
member that the year is also conspic.
uous as witnessing healthy and rea-
sonable reaction toward fair prices
with an absolutely open market. but
with spirit of fairness and good will
pervading the trade which never be-
fore existed under similar outward
conditions

A Secret of the Frozen North.

A Secret OF the Frozen North.
This is good time TO spring polar
story, and perhaps that accounts FOR
the revival Of the Andree legend about
his having reached Canada and per-
ished there after rounding the pole.
Two days after Andree assembled. with
two companions, from a point in north
western SDitzbergen in 1907 he dis
patched a pigeon message. which was
found the fourth day after the ascen-
sion The balloon had made AS miles
in two days, and that is the last word
from the ill fated explorer.
Andree carried along thirteen buoys.

to be cast overheard at various stages
of his flight The one designed to in
dictate the passing Of the pole, minus
any message, turned up two years
after the ascension in the coastal cur
rents off SpitZbergen- How far it had
been north could not be conjectured.
There is something plausible in this
tale from the Canadian wiids about n
house falling from the sky among
the Indians who looked upon the event
as a miracle and cached the nipple
ments and fittings of the strange Wis
liant, likewise the bodies OF three
men found in the debris. The place
is not hard TO visit. and without doubt
this latest clew will lead to another
