Scotland, from the extensive and increasing production within it of
LDig Mon, it a cheaper coat than in any other country, is obviously the
ocality best suited for the manufacture of malleable iron. And when
it Is considered that at present there are only four malleable iron
works in operation (besides two in the course of erection), it will be
apparent that there is ample scope for the increase of such works.
The present produce of Pig Iron in Scotland is about 10,000 tons per
week, of which, from the in, re want of the necessary works, only
about 1,300 tone (little more than one.aceer.th part) are manufactured
there; while, in England, the proportion of manufactured Iron is esti-
mated at nct I've than three-fourths. A large portion of Scotch Pig
Iron, therefore, conrimics to be sent annually for manufacture to
England.
That this Branch of the Iron Trade will continuo to be a peculiarly
profitable one cannot be doubted, a' there are not only the numerous
Ilailways in this conntry, bat also Railways all over the world, to be
supplied with Rails. Resides, an increased consumpt of other dexerip-
lions of Malleable Iron may be relied on.
As to the best sits for the proposed Works, it is believed that the
town of Dunfermline will be found to combine more advantages far
inch an undertaking than any other place that can be named. Among
other advantages, the following may be noticed
1 .t. The plentiful supply and eheapnear of excellent coal in the tm-
no ;late
vicinity of the town.
het The supply of pig iron, of the best description for the purpose,
from the Forth, Kinniel, and Devon iron works, all within a few
miler of Dunfermline.
3rd. The abundance of conveeient dwellings for the workmen
within the town, which will save the company the heavy expense of
entvng a large number of workmen's houses, to which similar works
are usually subjected.
4th. Connection by railway with the sea-port of Charlestown, for
the ,liipinent of Iron.—And,
Sth. Dunfermline will soon become a central point for railways,
br,aulling id in all directions ; and thus afford a cheap convey: min
fur the produce of the intended work.s to all parts of the country.
