th rei oration of Alare-Lirrsin, French output will be forty-flre million tons of Iron ore a year, of which seventeen million tons will be available for export. The successful organization of the export trade bas now been brought about by the Comptoir Sidernrgiine de France, which has absorbed tbe Coreptoir de Poutrellea and the Coniptolr d'Exportation des Produtts Siderurgiques. The large forges of steel vrorks, by means of & combination known as the Committee of Forge, are securing increasing Interests in iron mines, water power, coke ovens and .mechanical engineering shops. The Syndics' Chamber of the Agents for Export Trade is a recent combination of ail the leading agents of foreign manufacturers. They are in constant touch with the Paris commission and export merchants for the Pale of products intended to be exported. Then there is the National Committee of the Councillors for French Forp'gr Trade, the Chamber of Commerce for the Export Trad, the Society of Encouragement for the Evport Trade and the Norman Cpron 'ttoe of Encouragement for the Forma

tion of French Agents Abroad, at Palais des Consuls, P.ouen. In the "coinp:o:rs," or central selling organization?, such as toe Cotiptoir for the ExpC "Mlon of Metallurgical Products, w. ch exports rails anj their accvR. 's, ties, girders and channels, all b. iiness is obtained by means cf estabt!f.hed agencies in various cities. There are also axle and car spring crtTiiptolrs. There is an association of manufacturers of locomotives, which Axes the price on the various types, orders being apportioned among ail the manufacturers Id proportion to their output. That association has had a successful career for twelve years. There Is ai.so a railway materials syndicate. The Office Rationale d;i Commerce Exterior is an official orgeni7.a lion devoted exclusively to fostertr.g French foreign trade. The Office Rationale was formerly twpponed by a subvention of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, but Tias now become a public department, with funds provided by the Ministry of Commerce and by private trade organizations.
