IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Cleveland. O., November 8.--(Special)-- The Iron Trade Review today says:
 mixed price situation in iron and steel has ben clarified to considerable extent by the official announcement of the cor poration that no change in it's minimum quotations are to be made under present conditions. Consumers interpret this to mean that with competition for orders growing keener constantly the gap that has separated the schedule of the inde- pendent mills and the leading interest Is to be closed more rapidly. In reality the weeks market developments tend to show an accelerated movement in that direc- tion. Price reductions by independent producers have been more numerous, and a more general disposition is shown to adopt whatever readjustments are neces- sary to put the market on a stable basis. Along with this downward trend of prices has appeared wider discussion of the probabilities of wage revision. Leaders in the industry, however, are opposed to any reductions of this sort at the present time in view of the exalted basis of liv- ing cost. New business remains sluggish and specifications with the one exception of tubular goods, are backward This is
 mpelling further curtailment of produc- tion, and this week has added more mills and furnaces to the idle list.
 The composite market average of 15 pr oducts compiled by the Iron Trade Re- view stands this week at $61 ,S7, compared with S63. 34 last week, $6S.61 in October and s6S .S7 in August. The probability that no advance is to be made in the Steel corporation price of rails has occasioned surprise in view of previous statements. It is taken that this means SAY mill for open hearths and s45 for Bessemer will apply to the large tonnages for 1921 deliv- cry, which has been entered on the books of the leading producer subject to price and announcement by January 1. It is es- timated on good authority that the orders for rails for next year now held by all mills total 1900 GOO. with 700,0oO still tD be placed Practically every market center presents a further stepping down of pig iron prices as the furnaces show more disposition to compete with the resale of fers now so prevalent. Basic is being offered freely at $35 valley and Bessemer and malleable at $7 50. It is understood round lots of basic can be had down to 80 Chicago Eastern Pennsylvania makers are quoting basic at $s5 valley or $n.B delivered, that territory.
 Tn the south some furnaces now VIII name $37.50, while offers at SS are in creasing Stacks continue to bank up on furnace banks as hold-ups are numerous and more curtailment of production is fcreshadowed.

 When Man Followed Beast

From the New Search for the Oldest 5 Man, by Roy Chapman Andrews. in 2 Asia.
 The human problem is closely connect ed with that of the animal life of both the present and the past. Primitive man was hunter. Tn the early geo. logic ages, the geography of the earth was quite unlike what it is at present. Land existed where today there are great lakes and seas, mountains, were elevated and treeless deserts formed Animals used the ''1and bridge to travcJ from one continent to another. At first the early tribesmen, little more than beasts themselves, banded together for purposes of defense against the danger- ous animals of the ground. The giant rhinoceros, bison, mammoths wolves, bears and tigers-all were the enemies of man. As their intellects developed, they waged an offensive warfare and with stones, clubs and rude spears at- tackled the animals of the plains and forests. Moreover they became depend- ent upon the beasts for food and skins so that, as they moved from place to place, the men followed on their heels This animal migration was undoubtedly one of the many causes of the wander ings of primitive tribes. Most impor- tant of all, climate had a profound in fluence upon tho development, life ana Wanderings Of primitive man ana tne animals upon which he fed.
 Although it's scientific importance has long been recognized, Asia Is less known, paleontologically, than any other part of the world. Europe and North and South America have furnished the magnificent collections of animals and reptiles that lived millions of years ago and enrich the museums of the world today. The fossils of eastern and central Asia are known only from a small collection Of fragments purchased in the medicine shops of Tientsn, China, and described by a German named Schlosser. Fossils have great value to the Chinese. They are known as dragon bones" and are supposed to possess remarkable medicl- nal qualities. Therefore if native of the old school finds a fossil-bearins rock. he conceals it with the greatest lcare, for it is a virtual gold mine to him.
