The Price Of Iron i'm England and the
United States.

The following from the Pittsburgh Post in the heart
of the most extensive Iron region in the United States
is worthy of the most careful considerations
The Shipping and Merchants Gazette of the 10th
ult which came by the late foreign arrival, mentions
meeting which took place few days before, IN
Birmingham, of the iron masters at which 1t was
agreed to advance the price per ton over the price
of the last quarter. The Gazette says:
At the last meeting, the leading masters in South
Stafordshre reduced the price of il per ton, con-
tray the general expectation OF the trade, and no
small surprise felt at extraordinary proceed
ing, as the demand then brisk, and no apparent
necessity for the reduction. Since then, however,
the demand has been extremely brisk; orders have
come in all directions and the prospect of trade
declared good to-day to fully Justify rise OF
per ton over the price of last quarter The demand
for railroad iron is very considerable, but the general
improved of trade is the main cause of this IA
vorable state of our manufacture. The pigs are at
from f3 to ga, bar iron f6 to f6 5s. per ton.
The ton here alluded to, is the ton avoirdupois-
224O lbs The ton iron with us is 1000 lbs. 1t
would seem, from the above that pig metal sells
in England for about GIT ton OF 2,24O lbs. Bar
iron sells for about $50 ton.
According 10 our last report OF the markets, pig
iron is worth, in this city, SIS per ton, and common
bar iron cents per ID, 500 per ton OF 2,O0O lbs
By this ii would seem that the British iron manuiac-
turer receives about Sl3 ton, for changing pig metal
into iron The American iron manufacturer receives
S32 ton for the same process-wlth the further
advantage that the American ton is 24O lbs less than
the British.

Eastern Marker.

In connection with the now certain completion OF
the Railroad from the Ohio river Madison, to this
city, the following will be read with interest. The
Ohio river and the Beaver and Erie canal connec-
ton with the Railroad, will give us eastern CONNER
cial facilities that will be highly profitable.
THE ERIE ExTENsIoN.-Ths new connection be-
tween the Ohio river and the lakes being now COM
pleted, we may anticipate the commencement of a
brisk business upon the opinion of navigation the
suing spriug. The whole length Of the canal from
Beaver to Erie is 136 miles. The length of the
igable feeder, from point miles above Meadvile,
to the junction on the summit, is % miles.
The coal business must eventually constitute the
heaviest item of tonnage, but is anticipated that
the direct connection afforded by this canal between
the river and the lake. and the moderate tolls the
company are authorized to charge, will attract por
ton of the trade from the Mississippi valley, and per-
haps be the means of drawing part of that which
now passes by way Of New Orleans, and the ocean,
to New York.
The distance from Portsmouth on the Ohio river by
way of canal, to Cleveland is 81 miles. The dis
lance from Portsmouth by the river to Beaver Is 81
miles, From Beaver by canal to Erie l36 miles.
The Chronicle thus enters into calculation as to
time and cost of transportation the result of which
is average, to 81 days, and 80 ton IN favor
of the Erie route. The Chronicle adds
Should the Ohio Canal Commissioners reduce their
tolls to the rates the Pennsylvania tolls,
there would still be difference in favor of the Erie
route Of So 46 per ton. Business men will soon as
certain which is the quickest and cheapest route,
and through that channel their commerce will finally
