In every respect, the year jus@
closed has been a record-breaking
one in the iron and steel industry
says the Iron Trade Review. Calen-
dar year tonnage records have been
badly broken. About 4S, 500, 900
tons of ore have been moved out of
the Lake Superior region. S 900 900
tons more than in the best previous
year, 1910. Pig iron production
has aggregated almost 10000, 900
tons, or about $500. 900 tons more
than in the record calendar year,
1910, though in the twelvemonth
ended June 80, 1910, practically
as much iron was made. Not
nearly as much iron was consumed
in that period, however, for stocks
were accumulated. In the past
twelvemonth what stocks there
were have been absorbed. In the
steel branch of the trade the break
ing of records has been still more
pronounced, for it has now become
normal for the tonnage of steel in
gots and castings to exceed the
tonnage of pig iron, whereas in
1910 the tonnage of steel ingots
and castings fell 100000 tons or
nearly 5 per cent, below the tom
mage of pig iron. In sheets, tin
plates and wire products, new tom
mage records have been made by
wide margins, and in the great ma
jority of other finished steel pro-
ducts, records have been broken,
though not by such large margins.
The advance in prices in 1912
broke recent records with respect
to the amount of the advance,
though the advanced points reached
are low relative to the high points
in the past. The last important
advance was in 1909. when southern
pig iron scored a total advance, re-
quiring a period of only six
months, of about 81 ton, while
northern iron advanced an average
of $3.25 a ton. In the past year,
the advance in foundry grades in
the north and south has been about
s.. The disparity in the advances
in finished steel prices is more
striking, the advance in 1909 being

six months ahead. There does not
appear to have been any phenom-
email demand at any point, but on
the aggregate a tonnage has been
offered producers which they were
unable to supply. The require
ments of the country has grown
a pace in the past three years,
while the capacity to produce iron
and steel has grown very little.
Given a continuance of the ex-
pansion in demand, the industry
will have to increase its capacity
very materially.

II was a game OF thrilling situa-
tons Williams pitched hitless ball
to the sixth and runless to the sew

thereby a considerable quantity OF
excitement and turning a one sided
game the other side up.
The first thrill came in the fifth.
Without warning Goalby hit a
home run.
It was a lucky one The thing
started like a single Tommy Long

first bound. But II he had been

reached II. The ball took one terrific
hop and scared over Tommys head.

take any such bound from the ground,

mendous crowd that was bent on cell
ebrating Atlanta's second mid week

a TIANTA overturned the tables IN
"A the eighth when Wally Smith
tripled and Bisland hit a home run.
Both balls were terrific drives. Then
Williams lost his dog. But Schwartz
wasn't sure Of II until Safer.
In the first OF the eighth Callahan
developed the home run habit and
his terrific drive netted the Vols an
other run-which tied It UP.
THE Crackers went off with the
L lead again in the last of the
eighth on Welcomes single, Alper-
mans sacrifice and Bailey's single.
When the ninth opened the excite
ment fairly oozed out OF the game.
The glooms took command Of
the Cracker team when Lindsay was
walked The Crackers protested but
that did not help Goalby sacrificed.
Then Gibson grounded a mean one to
Wally Smith. And Wally by far the
steadiest third baseman Atlanta ever
had f1icRered for once and hurled
over Agler's head Thereupon the
score tangled up with itself again.
THE Crackers gave every evidence
Of coming back in the ninth and
breaking the tie. After Dunn had
grounded out, George Robe, once bat
ting wonder Of the hitless White Sox,
walloped out a single. Long sent
him TO second with a short single
With one gone, two on and two such
hitters as Welchonce and Alperman
looming up 1t looked pretty pliable
for the Crackers. But Earl F1eharty,
the third Vol pitcher of the after
noon. uncorked some Of his venera-
BILE curves and neither man could de-
liver. And then the game was call
ed, on account of alleged darkness.

But few people ever read a Colonial
