The Iron TRADE.-The quantity of iron made in
this country during the year 1885, has been estimated
at the enormous quantity of a million of tons; the
average price of pig ron for the year. being about H.
per ton, and that of bar iron about liz per ton. The
make Of this year, doubtless far exceed that of ordna-
nv years in consequence of the extraordinary impetus
given to the iron trade owing to railway specula-
tons and other causes but if we consider the aver
age quantity TO be only eight hundred thousand tons
per annum, which will probably not be far from
the truth the amonnt Of wealth thus created by
the iron trade alone be well calculated 10 excite
surprise and admiration. Of this large production,
we>may consider about one hundred and fifty thou
sand tons to be annually exported TO foreign countries
chiefly in a wrought or manufactured state; large
proportion, within the last year or two being in the
form of rails castings, &C. for the construction of rail
WAYS One of our principal exports of IRON, during
thelast year was to the United States TO be employed
in the great projected lines Ofralway in that coantry
and considerable quantity of rails and castings
were imported into Russia from England, to he
employed in forming the first line OF railway which
has been executed in that coIntry.-MiRing Jour.
