Iron Age Report

New York. August 30-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 More emphasis has been put this week on the continued operation of Steel Cor poration mills at a better rate than the average of it's competitors plants.
 As has been previously pointed out this is due in large part to the excel lent export trade of the corporation, but in some lines it's appears to have been increasing in recent weeks its share of the domestic business.
 Structural steel shapes are easily the most active of finished products. It is estimated that with the maintenance of the present rate through the year, the 1911 total will exceed that of the record year 1eo6 in fabricated steel contracts by 10 to 15 per cent
 At Chicago the ordinance limiting the height of buildings goes into effect this week and this has hastened the taking out of permits on several large projects.
 These together with new office build ngs now under construction, represent a total value above s1S,oO0.00 Three rail sales are reported by Steel Corporation mills, 4500 tons to the Chesapeake and Ohio; 9450 tons to the Illinois Central and $500 tons to the Texas and Pacafic The Grand Trunk is in the market for 10000 tons of rails.
 In the wire trade August has been a month of greater activity than has been indicated in market reviews.
 Much of the selling has been done with a quietness bearing out reports of concessions by certain producers.
 On wire nails $165 price per lleg, rep resenting a reduction of s1 a ton, has been announced.
 The lower prices lately reported in wrought pipe and tubes appear to be largely made by jobbers
 The competition on steel bar has been sharper in the Chicago district and the Pittsburg base has been quite general ly disregarded. .t----
 In semi-finished steel there has been no important business but the $2l Pitts burg basis has been shaded and mills have absorbed a sl extra in some cases.
 The situation in foundry pig iron for 1912 Is developing slowly. More con- sumers are testing the market, but fur naces are not meeting their views.

Of course. the thing was supported by the bayonet, but even be- fore the bayonet was withdrawn the whites of the south found a way to re- claim nearly all the reconstructed states, and when the bayonet was en- tirely withdra VII il was as natural for the political power to lodge with the superior race as for water to run down ward or spark to fly upward.
 Political power conferred On the ne- gro was as great m injury to him as to impose on a child the burden of q man. The negro was not strong enough to retain 1t and it fell from his nerve less grasp. Subjecting the white man to the rule of the negro in the days of reconstruction only served to in tensify the spirit of caste in the breasts of the southern whites, who were the only sincere friends of the negro. Polit- ical power In the hands of the negro gave him longing for social equality, and it took the Ku Klux Klan to save the south from a very hell on earth. from condition worse than Rome under Caligula. or Nero.
 But the negro was demoralized and in him was awakened the hellish lust that prompted him to the perpetration of the unthinkable crime that was un- heard of during the entire period of slavery. But why discuss that? It is too horrible to think about, much less talk about.
 If I could direct things I would cause England to take over Liberia Then would impose d tax of s1,000, ,000, 900 on our people to hire negroes under 40 years of age to go there and stay there.

Chicago Ordinance Limiting Height of Buildings Is Cause of Some Orders = Merchant Pipe
 Prices Are Shaded

Cleveland, O.. August 30.-(Speeial.) )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Heavy specifying against contracts dur ing August has sustained mill activities at good percentage of capacity, but new business has been light and on nearly all finished products there has been and still is much regularity of prices Pros poets al the close of the month are not very encouraging.
 There is some interest in pig iron for delivery over the first half of next year, Indications are that quotations will be about 50 cents per ton higher than at present. As the new Chicago ordinance limiting the height of buildings to POO feet goes into effect September l, work on a large number of these buildings has been started within a few days. Four of these buildings will require not less than 25,000 tons of structural steel
 A reduction of $1 a ton has been made in prices of wire products, making the price S1 a ton more than the schedule at the opening of the year
 There is more shading of prices in merchant pipe and rumors are in cir culation that a new official price card will be issued September l, reducing the
 
 sharp competition in sheets. On No. s guage black a concession of $2 ton has been freely made, and while the re- ductions on galvanized and blue an- healed are not usually so freely granted. it is taken at the same concession as for black. Tin plate has settled to base of 10 cents net from the old prices for the most desirable business. The leading company continues to operate 30 per cent of it's tin mills with about the same pro- portion of independents in operation. The working mills are. however, not being pushed to the limit of production. Low prices are being made on steel bars, especially in the Chicago district, where there seems to be an increasing dispo- siton not to recognize Pittsburg as a passing point Spikes are weak and even on hoops the full price is not always paid Railways do not loom up promi- nentiy In orders of the week.

When the scheduled hour for the opening of court, 10 o'clock, arrived only a few people had reached the pastoral scene where Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., is making his fight for life. A long string of auto mobiles splashed through an almost con tinuous stream of water which hid the road in many spots and when the first few cars anchored at the courthouse the mud besIattered passengers made haste to get indoors. Several machines were stuck in the road and hacks and other sea going" vehicles, on other days scornfully aban- dcned for the big touring cars that ply between Centralia the nearest railroad station and the courthouse, were popular today.

AMERICA LEADS WORLD.
This Country Contributes $1O,OOO,OOO
to Missions Each Year.

America now leads all other ma
tons in gifts to foreign missions. The
foreign mission interest was started
here a hundred years ago by five Will
liams college students. 1t became or
ganized in 1910, when the Ameri-
can board, the Oldest of American
societies, was formed. Now there are
forty-six foreign mission societies in
this country.
Contributions of the United States
have come to be 100000 in
total of $24,000,O00 year. There
are SLY missionaries who are sup
ported by American gifts, and they
employ almost 10000 native teach
ers and preachers. There are 10000
members of Christian churches in
foreign lands.
The present measure of Christian
unity is said to be largely due to the
reflex influence of the mission fields.
1t is noted as remarkable by min
listers that foreign missions have al
ways been condemned and yet have
always thrived. Commercial men in
the East have almost universally op-
posed the missionary and his work,
and yet it is argued by church peo-
pie that the missionaries and not the
advance agents of commerce have
brought to America such measure of
Oriental trade as she enjoys Such
men as Bishop Brent, the Rev. DIR.
John P. Jones, the Rev. DIR. Daniel
C. Greene and many others are cred
tied with having shown to the Orient
American civilization in its best form.
The first century of Christian mis-
sions in foreign lands has been spent
in opening doors, in learning Ian
guages and in building colleges and
churches.
