witnessed during the past decade, and although all the difficulties das to the War have not yet been sur- mounted, the British steel industry is a long way ahead of many other industrica in putting its house in ordar.

Last year was a difficult one for the industry. The continued fall of wholesale commodity prices has tend cu to make buyers hold off, and eut- put of both pig iron and steel was much smaller in the latter months than the earlier months of the year. In the case of steel ingots and cast ings, the monthly table, compiled by the National Federation of Iron and Steel Manufacturers shows that the monthly average output in 1013 was 633,000 tons. The pig iron output of British foundries has nover again reached more than about three-quarters of the 1013 output..

There is to-day a reawakening of publie interest in the improve. ment of our courte of law and the question of the enormous cost of litigation is receiving prominenco in all quarters, chiefly because it effects all classes of people. In a carefully prepared work entitled
