1t does not look much like haru
times II the iron business, for the pro-
duction is now at the highest rate in
our history, and it would be larger if
the mills could get the help. Thousands
mre men could find work in the mills
at Pittsburgh and the mines in Mime
sofa and Michigan. Exports of iron and
steel are now at the rate of million
dollars a day. The form in which most
Of our iron goes out is in agricultural
machinery and metal railroad supplies,
and in both these classes exports are
growing, and those who are cognizant
with conditions say that the world is on
the eve of the greatest agricultural ex-
pansion it has ever seen, so that our
exports of steel and iron in this form
will doubtless continue large.
