partial pause brought about by the late crisis in foreign
affairs. Not only have markets recovered their tune, but
a real busy trade is being earned on in all parts of the
country, in all description of iron. Mat,TiAl evi• lene. sof

the blowing out of furnaces, but the contrary. The make
in the Cleveland district is being increased : the Furness
district, now icrowing into prominence, is pushing produc-
tion. Welsh makers have been rendered more than

narrow margin of prices over cost, and serious remon-
strances ai e urged against the tendency to higher demands
for pigs—the manufacturer claiming his right to a parallel
advanta:,e alth the maker—there is. nevertheless, notice-
able in every district a progressive improvement in busi-
ness, as well as a consolidated steadinesaof demand, giving
assurance of a permanent good trade, not to be hereafter
affected by circumstances political and financial, and
atfordinc, theiefore, a positive basis for assured calcula-
tion. This is what has been wanting to us for some time
past. It is observable that whilst one-third at least of
the iron trade has been cut away by the recession of great
contractors from the market, and the almost univettal
stoppage of all large undertakings, the iron trade has yet
actually suffered to the extent of only one-6fth. Works
are employed fully four days out of the five usually
worked in periods of prosperity.
