There is considerable complaint amoni
steamboat-men concerning the advance il
the cos. Of constructing steamboats, thi
season. There has been heavy advauc
in the price of iron, which compels corres
poudiug increase in the price of machinery
Last tall pig iron cost SIS per ton; thi
season it brings s53 per ton. Last fall bs
iron sold At 3! cents per pound; this season
, it brings /! cents- and it takes q pile o
money to put new machinery in steam
boat. And as long as the Grant pig itol
monopolists rule the tariff there will be n
reduction of these enormous prices.
