SILENCE,
.

In silence mighty things are wrought
Silently builded, thought on thought,
Truths temple greets the sky.
And like citadel with towers,
The soul with her subservient powers,
4 Is strengthened silently.
/.
Soundless as chariots on the snow,
The saplings of the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth;
Each nightly star in silence burns,
And every day in silence turns,
The axle of the earth.
The silent frost, with mighty hands,
Fetters the rivers of the land
With universal chain;
And, smitten by the silent sun,
The chain is loosed, the rivers run,
The lands are free again.

sCARClTY or IRON.

Ihe condition OF the irCn market at
the present time is,; 10 many respects,
says the financial Chronicle, without
precedent ia the history of the trade.
With every furnace iu blast, and i'm
porsations as large as the verv limited
surplus of foreign production will per-
nit, We are threatened with an iron
famine. Since January, American pig
No. I has advanced from $50 81 to
$50 81 per ton, rails from $40 to $95,
and bar iron from $3.50 a87.52 to
sl03 q los. In imported iron the rise
has been proportionate, English rails
having advanced siuce the beginning
of the year from s5S to $40 a 73 gold,
old rails from $50 to $50 So, and
scrap iron from 81 AZ to S62 s65.
The reason for this is easily found
Throughout the worIi, but more espec.
tally in this country, th.re has been
during the past few years an enormous
Increase Of consumption, and the 10.
crease Of production has not kept pace
with it, chiefly because the necessity
for new iron was net felt until the sur
plus stocks Of this and other markets
we're exhausted. Last year the con-
sumption Of iron iu the United States
was about 100000 tons, of which We
produced about 100000 tons and i'm
ported the balance, beginning the cur
rent year with no surplus, which has
forced consumers to depend wholly up.
on the immediate product of the furn-
aces. Of total consumption last year it
is estimated that one half was used in
railroad construction and equipment
This year largely increased consump.
tive demand is anticipated. We have
now some $4,000 miles of railroad in
operation, to keep which in repair viii
require, in addition to old rails rerol!ed
about three tons to the wile, or say
100000 tons. Last year W. built 1000
miles of new road. II we build as much
this year we shall require Of new rail:
about 88 tons to the mile, or 6l6,0O(
tons. To this may be added for bolts
spikes, joints, switches, and the like
say 10 tons to the mile, or 10000 tons
The capacity Of the furnaces now 10
operation is 1000 toms, to which
may be added 10000 tons as ths prob
able product Of new furnaces now bu,ld
Ing. { In the present condition of th'
European market it is doubtful if VI
be able to import as much this scar a!
last; but supposing We import the sam
qnsotity, or 100000 tons, our total sup
! ply would amount to about 1850, ZOO
tons. Deductiug from this the 966.
900 tens needed for railroad construct
tiou, we have remaining 1,7s+,000 tom
for railroad equipment, building pur
poses, gas and water pipes, machinery
the manufacture Of hardware, bridges
ship.building, and the thousand othe
uses for which iron is employed, or les
than one half the estimated requirement
1t would appear, therefore, that Their
must be curtailment Of consumption il
some direction, or an active competition
among consumers for the limited sup
ply. Still We cannot think it probable
that there will be auy great advance Of
the very high price now obtained, 10
prices pay the producer so we'll that
they must soon stimulate production to
a point which will meet the requiremen
of tho trade.
