Iron Trade Review

Cleveland. O., October 1S.--(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The making of extremely low prices On finished materials has stimulated con- siderable new business in some sections. The lowest price yet made in plates end shapes developed in the Philadelphia district .n qcompetition for material for new vessels, but in other sections com Ietition has not been productive of such lew prices.
 seventy-fve thousand tons of structural material are pending in the east, and a very fair number of awards have recent ly been made. Some sheet manufac- turers report a very gratifying increase in orders taken at fair prices. Nf
 Mill orders for sheets during the first ball of October exceed those for the first half of September. An eastern ship building company obtained the extremely low quotation of 1. 25c delivered, equiva- lent to 1.10c Pittsburg on about 5000 tons of shapes and plates for two boats re- gently contracted for. It Is understood that the shape will be rolled at a nearby plant, but that the plates will be shipped from Pittsburg.
 Other mills, although actively seeking business. will not in all cases meet recent low quotations. About 14,O0O tons of plates are pending for the four Amer- lcan Hawaiians Steamship company's s boats, recently awarded.
 The surprise of the week was tile an- nouncement, of the price of $3.40 per base box of tim plate, reduction of 20 cents per box, or about g ton below the price which has prevailed for the past 60 Gays. This quotation is sbeing made by some, independent companies for delivery throughout next year. It was expected that the price would be s 50.
 There has recently been a very de- oided decrease in shipments ss.sA

Pandora severely alone. It was legacy Taft inherited and he was prodigal in his waste of the patrimony If Taft had known half as much about
 the tariff as Roosevelt knew and if he had been half as much as practical tariff reformer as Roosevelt was a theoretical tariff reformer, he would have jammed revision down through
 both houses of Congress, which would have composed the question for at least a decade, and he would have been as
 popular as President as Teddy himself.
 But instead of throwing himself into
 the arms of Deliver. he leaned on Ald-
 rich, and the job was botched. Then he perpetrated the awful folly of vetoing
 the half baked wool bill of the Sixty second Congress and MT. Taft finds
 himself poor swimmer in a whirl-
 pool.
 He is now become standpatter. Cannon and Penrose, Pierpont Morgan and Wall street flock to him, and he is out west in a reactionary crusade against progressive crusade. He will
 disastrously fall. though the office holding trust at the south and the money trust at the last doubtless will
 be strong enough to renominate him in 1912.
 The sun shines bright on the demo- cratic side Of the hedge. Some time ago I read an exceedingly interestin g
 narrative in two large volumes by an officer of the staff of the German army analysing the art of war as practiced by Napoleon Bonparte, and this officer adjudged Robert E. Lee the greatest soldier since the Corsican. because while on the defence, the Confederate commander never surrendered the in- itiative. which is the very soul of Napoleonic strategy-to grasp the iniative ever, whether on the offensive before Ulm, or on the defensive after Leipsic.
 We'll, the democrats, being out of power, may be classed as the weaker party. But they hold the initiative. | VIII they surrender it? Sure they will | if history is to repeat itself And it will l be next to a miracle if they don { subordinate the tariff to initiative and referendum, or some sort of octopus chase of other, or what not. Tneir only chance for victory is to collar the tariff, propose Millsism as the reform of it. and let all issues go
 to the devil until the country is eman-
 cipated from the slavery of 8 protective tariff

|STiE[L. PRICES ARE | NEARER COST LINE Western Producers Want
 Lower Freight Rates IRON TRADE REVIEW Extremely Low Prices Stimulate Con-
 siderable New Business in Some
 Sections-LOwest Price Yet in Philadelphia District
IRON TRADE REVIEW

New York, October 1S.-(Special.)-
 Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 Active competition is steadily crowding
 prices of finished steel closer to the cost line.
 An important development of these con- ditions is that steel manufacturers in
 the central west are asking the railroads which haul their raw materials to adjust freight rates on these to bring them
 more in line with existing prices for fin ished products The movement is of far
 reaching import. It involves the long established rates on ore from Lake Su- perior mines to upper lake docks, but what is of even more significance is its bearing upon the relative competitive
 ability of mills in the Pittsburgh Valley
 and Wheeling districts, on the one hand, as against those in the Chicago, Buffalo and other districts.
 This question of freight reduction is just now given precedence with num-
 Der of steel companies over that of wage reduction, which only recently was being
 seriously considered Wage read1ust- ments seem less imminent, indeed, thau was the case few weeks ago. There
 are signs in some iron and steel works
 districts that much of the surplus labor
 of few months ago has been absorbed. The large number of vessels placed with eastern ship builders is in part due to low prices for steel. All the yards but one now have work ahead that will occupy them well into next year, includ- {, ing the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio are figuring on rail require
 ments for 1912, which are now expected to be somewhat less than for this year The chief formal reduction in prices this week was that in tin plates from | 3.6O to $3.4O per base box.
 | Pig iron markets have made no re- sponse in prices to the favorable state ments concerning stock reductions in | September.
 | In the central west, where stock de- clined very considerably, the weakness has been most pronounced. Southern No ? iron has sold at s975 Birmingham, for early shipment, and iron for the first
 quarter can be had at BIO. Northern sell CTS are more aggressive and lower prices
 have been made by Buffalo and northern Ohio furnaces.
