Your corresdondent has noted with pleasure that the company has pur- chased its material as tar as it possibly cauld in Canada. Some of the machi- nery. however, is not made in the Do- minion, notably the rotaries, which are used for ealeinating.

Napoleon, the maker of empires and the unmaker of kings. sat on his horse under the Egyptian sky and pointing to the pyramids said : - - A These rotaries are eight in number. Great and grim they stood, as if anxt- ons to begin to whirl. Grim because they looked like immense cannons; great because they are so massive that they have had to be placed on founda- tions first and the structure built over them. They are the largest, most up- to-date "italics in the world, and some idea of their weight may be gained when it is said that the combined Weightol'the idlers upon which they revolve is 72,000 pounds. Another massive machine is the Krupp Ball Mills, which came trom Essvn, Germany, and which is set on concrete foundations 21 feet 6 inches high. This mill isa mysterious look- ing affair to the, man whose knowledge of machinery is limited, but the com- pany claim it is the most perfect ot its kind that money can buy or the world produce.

It is gratifying to notice that the wholesome sentiment, "All things equal, support home industry," is be- ing recrgnized among the cement con- suming public of Canada. Germany with an area less than thr. tario. has 80 Portland cement factories with exports of three million barrels and seventeen million consumed at home. In the United States a similar growth has been noticed, running from two million barrelsin1890to 12,000,000 in 1900, and with a resent increase of over 2,000,000 barrefs a year. A Canadian Coneern. The National Portland Cement Com- pany is being built and will becarrled on on Canadian capital. The com- pany's stock was placed upon the mar- ket in a manner unique.

The brokers did not even get a slice of it. The same old story ot push and enterprise, veni, vidi vici. and the, stock has all been subscribed and, so I am informed, could easily be subscrib- ed (A’er again.
