Review by the Irdn Age

New York January n.-(Special. 1-1he Iron Age will say tomorrow: Export business in steel products has been un- usually good of late, excellent as it was throughout 1910. and it is particularly wei come in the present halt of new demand at home. A significant order recently tlaced is for 25O,0O0 boxes of tin plate for the export oil trade.
 Another phase of the heavy export trade now coming to the United States is the inability of British manufacturers of plates, angles and shapes to take their usual share of the foreign trade in those lines. The ending of the British ship building strike and the large accumula- ton of new work at the yards will call for all the ship steel British mills can deliver for several months.
 The result has been the turning of con- siderable inquiries from neutral markets to this country.
 The meeting of steel manufacturers in New York this week is seemingly the pivot of the market; at all events it is the latest reason given for the holding off of buyers. Steel manufacturers are represented to be practically unanimous in favor of holding prices as they are.
 From the railroad standpoint the i'm mediate situation is considered to be bet ter. to the extent that 220 locomotives have been placed in the past week, and that rail and bridge demand shows moro promise. The acceptance of the Pennsyl- Vania rail order for total of l50.000 tons has been assured by an agreement on tie prices to be paid for the extra dis card. The price basis of the New York Central contract is also near adjust ment, an extra being asked by the mills for meeting the ductlity requirements on high carbon open health rails. The Great Northern has bought SS00 tons Of open heath rails and an eastern coal road with western connections has bought I0ooO tons. An inquiry for 2S,00o tons for western line and one for 25,000 tons for southern road are pending.
 Two eastern blast furnace companies announce a 10 per cent reduction in wages.

Greater Bessemer

There is a movement on foot to annex the thriving little city of Brighton to Bessemer, and 1t is understood that committee from that town will appear before the next meeting of the city coun- cil to consult with the city fathers In rel erence to the consolidation of the two cities In the event the proposed annex ation is consummated the population or Ressemer will be increased several thou sands, and it will be quite an addition to the city. as Brighton has made much pro- Eress in municipal improvements.

Cox machine. and incidentally a severe
slap at President Taft, who had publicly
endorsed for Mayor Louis Schwab. the
Coz machine candidate.

the Coz organisation ever sustained. II
wa Hunt who forced Cox's indictment
on n perjury charge and who compelled
the judges Of Hamilton County to resort
to many technical exp~ediencies to ksep
from placing Cox or trial. according to
the Hunt following. Cox, therefore.
was the bitter personal enemy OF the
youthful prosecutor and cxerted his
every effort to defeat him.
II was President Taft who, a. Secre-
larry of War, made the famous Akron,
O., speech In 1905. In which no declared:
III I ware In Cincinnati. as ] fear l
shall moi be. because public duty calls
me elsewhere. I should vote against the
Republican municipal ticket and for the
Republican state ticket" Taft's entire
spesch was n critical arraisnment Of
th. Cox machine.
The Cox ticket that year raj over
wheimingiy defeated, but tho organisa-
ton came back the following year
n has since remained In power.
Mayvr Louis 5chwab. present incum-
bent, was nominated this year by the
organisation. while Henry 7. Hunt. the
Democratic Prosecuting Attorney, was
h,s opponent. The campaign was spec
tacuiar as well as bitter, for Hunt. q

ing qualities have made him a State

Ex-Mayor julius Fleischmann, who
has been spoken of ~ the leader 10

the latter Addressed an . en letter TO
F%ieischmann. In which he declared he

The Democrats aasailed him bitterly
for what they declared was "insincer-
ity In rcpudiatinE his Akron speech"
The Republicans, on tho other hand.
declared that changed conditions war
ranted Taft In entering the campaign.
President Taft's defeat In his home
city has been seized upon by the
Democrats as an omen Of victory In
the Presidential campaign OF next year.
though Republicans declare II was due
only TO local conditions and will not
AFFECT the State In 1872.

dare not recognize Il to the extent Of pub

IL Is the unwritten law OF the sea that
a captain must 80 down with his ship
Men dare not write II into the contract.
and nations dare not incorporate II in
their navy or marine regulations, yet the
tyrants OF the sea know the law, and be-
lieve that TO obey It betters their service,
and there are few instances OF its being
disregarded.
Il is the unwrltten law of the army
and navy that an officer shall not seek
cover, or. az least, shall not show appre-
hension Of danger to his person. in time

In spite of the rapid growth of the auto
mobile industry and the many predictions
that the machines have sounded the death
knell of the horse, old Dobbin and young
Dobbin are steadily increasing in value.
According to the government reports the
average value OF horses in the United
States is s11.s7. which is nearly 50 more than
1t was in 1910.
Since 1900. when the automobile began to
be regarded less as toy and more as a
possible necessity. the average value OF
horses has increased from $44.6i--a gain of
S77.W head. The gain was kept up every
year except one, when there was a loss Of
10 cents a head between 1907 and 1908.
The period from 1894 to 1901 was the low
water mark for horses. In 1897 the average
value dropped to ss161. During the years
1895. 1896, 1897 and 1898 the figures were
under so for the only time in the history
Of this country.
Although Illinois is the first state with
respect TO the number Of horses, the most
expensive are found in Massachusetts and

each. Connecticut and New Jersey are
