Although prices Of manufactured
iron have been lower than those cur
rentdurlng preCedingclg eighteen months,
| there has not been any corresponding
Improvement IN the demand, and it will
DO seen, by reference 10 the table
of exports mt the foot, that there
has been u considerable falling
OFT In the shipments compared with
preceding y0ars. The deficiency is al
most altogether under the head Of Unit
cd States and East indies. The expert
ence gained during the lntD period OF
high prices proves distinctly that this
country can only retain her pre-emi-
hence IN iron manufactures by supply
ing them at less price than that at
which they can be produced in other
countries. Lately we have found no
inconsiderable rivals among our Cont.
mental nolghbors, whilst in America
| the production has been greatly extend
ed during n period when u large war
demand, favored by high Exchange,
enabled themannfadturers there almost
to monopOliZe the trade. Should the
American makers succeed in their Of
forts to cheaper labor we may find them
able in future to supplyaVery large pro-
portion Oftheir own wants, and we can
only hope to compete successfully ut low
LnriGas, coupled with less OppressivetHr-
In than that which Mt present exists.
Tho production Of pig and Inanuiac-
tured iron In this country Inns been con.
siderably increased of late by the ercc-
ton Of new furnaces and mills on the
East Coast and in other new mining
districts. This has created n large sup.
ply and increased competition, which
win tend to moderate any advance in
prices. ait
The general foreign demand Except
ing from America and India Inns been
up to former years, and we may Bnticl-
pate u continuance on the sumo scale.
Ship building has not been so active MS
I In 1864, and, MS respects iron steamers,
not only has the demand for blockade
runners ceased, but numbers are now
on the market for sale. Should the
harvest results by satisfactory, We may
hope to see am improved demand for
home consumption and more general
activity. 80
