Britis M“ [it ‘Canoda

Blimlml-Ohmsls-nd. April 28,-‘ v \B, the Canadian Prom-In an ar- tlcls on "Marketing om: in Can- ada". a special contributor to the Sheffield Chamber o! Commerce oi- Mll Publication examines the dif- ference in transportation rates in "@3111! in find why Canada takes

steel from the United States, in comparison with Briitsh steel.

“Canada imports ovsr n million 9°!!! o! iron and steel a year (13851100 tons in 1020) mostly from the Unit- e’! 5mm." he says. "The quantity supplied by the Americans in that year was 1,110,000 tons, whereas we sent only 117,000 tons to the Domin- ion. Why have we failed to meet American competition? There has long been an idea that tho Amer- icans have had the benefit of cheap transport. Please let this idea be tested.

"A steel making firm with its Planthear Sheiileld, almost as far l")!!! B Port of shipment as a Brit- ish steel works can be, and a plant, mllfmvel‘. With no iron ore mine "BIT-by. hos figured out its total in- land transport costs at $7.20 per ton

That is to say, the inclusive railway rates on the ore, lime, fuel, etc., us- ed to make the pig iron for one ton of steel; the rail rates on the fuel and other" materlalsuised in ‘the steel works, per ton of finished steel —ai1 the costs of inland transport. A calculation made today would scarcely show $0 per ton. In thc case of steel made in the West of Scot- land, South Wales, or the Mlddles- brough district, where the works are nearer shipping ports, and in some cases much nearer iron ore mines. than are works in the Sheffield area, the inclusive inland transport costs are obviously considerably lower. IBut Sheflleld and other inland steel makers can meet American compet- tlon in Canada if they try. ' "To the $6 per ton, or less, here calculated as the inland transport cost carried by a ion of our steel up to the ship's side, there has to be ‘added the freight to Canada. Ex- icept when the St. Lawrence nsvlg-l atlon is ice-blocked, steel products up i to $100 per ton value are carried lfrom British to Dominion ports- :Liverpool for example, to Montreal- for not more than $5 per ton. Even light products, many of them diffi- cult to stow, or which occupy much shipping space are carried across the Atlantic for avfrelghirrate o! only $8 per ton. However, for ordinary steel products-plates, beams, bars, structural shapes, and even thin gal vanlzzd steel sheets—the transport .eost per, ton up to Montreal, is lit- tie more than $8 per ton on Shef-

Yellow Bars, Willed Brother at Death, Remain Intact.

BUWARNT‘. April 2a (o. P.)—A modest landsman in a small pm- vincisl town in western Human]; possesses the country's largest for. tune, about $6.000,000,-most of it in bar gold.

His name is Dlnu Mihall, and he rates abofe the coutry's wealthiest bankers, industrialists and big busi- ness men. He is a bachelor, has no living relatives, and leads o retired life in the town of Craiova. The “mil-BMW oi‘ his weolth ls an unusual story.

Dinu had a brother who lost ‘hLsl Wrsonality in religious mysticism‘ and became known only a5 "inc Monk Mihail." He lived in a cloister in the Pyrenees, dcserting the life on the family estate to which he had fallen heirfI-Ie had one other ob- session besides religion-gold.

Monk Frugal

The Monk Mlhall took his frugal living from the meager land of the cloister, and converted thc entire income from the estate into gold. I-le never spent a penny for his personal needs. In the course of years, he a- massed millions in bar gold,. most of 1t deposited with the Credit Lyonn- ais. l-fe left it all to Dinu when he died. Dinu leaves it as he received it. -in gold. His wants are simple and he receives enough from the income of the estate, now somewhat cilrtall- ed by the new land laws, to give him ' his living.

The gold has withstood the finali-

tunes in recent years. and, although it is unproductive. Dlnu is content to. leave it deposited abroad, where he knows it is safe even if it ls not earning anything-six million dol- lars of it! Banker Next.

The family Bcrcovitz, headed by the banker -Eli Bcrcovitz, perhaps come next to Mlhail. Rcckoncd by West European standards, their for- tune is not large, but the family is an influential one, and for Rumania! its holdings are sizeablc, a. little over $4,000,030. Ell ‘Bercoviz is president of the Jewish Community organization oi’ Bucharest, lives a vcry simple life and docs no {mile entertaining.

American costs. i

their assemblage costs range from $7 to $10 per ton of steel, and tocar- ry the finished steel products from

$5 to $12 per ton according to the point of exportation and the shape o! the goods. 'I'he_transport cost ex-

average inland trsnspor; cost, in-

The average ts more. It stands to be noted haulage distances are very long in the United States, and stuff like ir- on ore, limestone, coal, coke and pig iron cannot be carried long distanc- es overland economically.
