Complex steel engines, 900 ft. in length, 54,000 tons in capacity, plow across it, 600 miles a day or more, over the same spots where, on the ancient maps, great monsters with fluctuating tails engulfed the early mariner, across the same areas where great storm gods with puffing cheeks emerging from the cloud in bas relief blew the chill blast of sudden death upon lost adventurers.

Ayres of Cleveland, sage of pig iron, is cheerful over the iron and steel outlook. Increased steel buying and increased prices are reported; the industry is now operating on a 70% basis. Wheat futures continue to rise under shortage, while staple agricultural prices are high and firm. Many industries are patently turning the corner. Imports and exports of gold are both increasing, but despite large recent foreign loans floated here, domestic money remains abundant and cheap...
