FISCHER TALKS OF CHINA.
Rapid Kxpauatoa of American Trade
In Orient I*r»*dloied.
NkwYork, Nov. 14.— Emil 3. Fisch
er, for many years connected with the
Dentsche-Asiatische bank of Shanghai,
Recently addressed the students of the
school of commercs, accounts and fi
nance of New York university ou “The
Commercial and Business Methods of
China.”
in introducing ths speaker Dean Has
kins referred to the Chinese problem as
•ne of extreme gravity aud cosnpiexity.
“We are scarcely able,” he said, “to
comprehend the Oriental or Oriental
ism. The situation is no* yet appre
ciated, either iu the United States or
Great Britain. Tne Dragon, whicn
many suppose to be dead, is full of vi
tality aud resources.”
Mr. Fischer, iu his addrsss, said for
eign importers confine their business
mainly to the treaty ports. Mr. Fischer
said the inland toil collections, generally
known as “Likin.” were not considered
iu the recent negotiations. The diffi
culties attending the trans shipment of
foreign merchandise have therefore been
removed, but the advantage which tne
Chinese have had over foreigners by the
use of cheap junk transportation is over
come, because the whole junk trade
passing through a treaty port is to be
controlled in tne future by the imperial
maritime customs.
Mr. Fiscner predicts a rapid expan
sion of American trade iu Cuina a i a re
sult of ttie laying of a Pacific cable and
the construction of an isthmian canal.
“China,” he said, “will build several

A STARTLING STATEMENT

New York, Nov. 14 —“The danger
of Mormonism is under-rated, not over

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
October n Kroorrt Breaker In the Pro-
o ue; inn al rig.
New Yoke, Nov. 14. — The Iron
Age says:
“Our report* from the pig iron manu
facturers, covering production in Octo
ber, show that tne mouth was a record t
breaker. The output reaoned the total
of 1.400,000 tons, or at the rate of Ifl.-
800,000 ton* per annum. The furnaces
in blast on Nov. 1 had a weekly capacity
of 320,824 tons, based on their actual
yield in October. This is in excess of
any previous records.
“The coke and anthracite fnrnaces
reporting stocks, comprising practically •
all the fnrnaces making foundry and
forge iron, had only 223,089 tons on
hand Nov. 1, against 299,824 tons on
Oct. 1, which is a redaction of 76,735
tons.
The charcpl furnaoee reported a re
daction of 1^607 tons iu the same time.
This is the heaviest redaction iu stocks
made in a single month in a long pe
riod and it was made concurrently with
a great increase in production. Tne
pig iron sitnation is strengthened by the
great difficulty still experienced in se
curing coke by reason of the shortage of
cars.
“Pig iron for steelmaking is in sharp
demand. A 3.000 lot of Cornwall Bes
semer was taken at an advanced price.
Basic pig is about 25 cents nigner at
eastern furnaces, with a great deal of
business under negotiation.
“Some large contracts have been
placed for steel rails, including 55,000
tons by the Baltimore and Obio, 50,000
tons by the Illinois Central raiiroauand

at me convention called to meet in tne
United State- courtroom here this a:ter-
uoon. The liate for the convention was
sot at Ottianoma City O r. 23 and 300
delegates from each territory have come
to figut out tne issue.
Tne supreme effort of the two terri
tories to secure a single statehood form
of government at the next session of
congress will oe made. The issue will,
it is believed, be squarely divided be
tween the political and me commercial
interests of the territories Politicians
as a rule, it is conceded, are in favor of
separate statehood. This view, so far
as indications point, is opposed by the
business men of the territories, who
want all avenues of trace and industry
opened without restriction, aud who
profe-s to believe rhar this end could not
be secured in making two states of the
territories. Tnis, it is held, is especially
true in the Inuian Territory, whose uu-
developed natural resources, tney as-
scrt. are as non as can be found iu ai y
state of rbe Union.
Among the fir-t delegates to arrive
the current of reeling so m-.-d strougiy
for single statehood for Oklahoma with
out (ieiay. Indian Territory to be con
sidered later.
Aside from the speechmaking and the
adoption of resolutions bearing on tin’
subject, tiie convention will iikely pro-
vine funds to carry on a systematic cam
