THE DUTY ON IRON.
The New York journal ef co1s:nsrce ssys:
An importer anxious to fill an unusually large order
for 4-nch SHIFTING iron, received last week was an.
willing to order it from Europe in view Of Threatened
fluctuations in the market III the lntersa! between the
order and the arrival. He wrote to Pittsburgh, eud
other likely places but could not Get it. and after feel
ing around, discovered that the Phoenix MIL, near
Reading the Potts Bro Itill, Of East Penusylyana,
md the Burden MIL Of Troy, were the only mills east
Of the Alleghenies where he could be aupplied
the pricea, and the following without etaiis is the
English finch shafting, with tho high duty OF
s3o.2. Per ton, paid III gold, insurance, cart
ase, &e paid and goods delivered at his door oe :,
American M a.ineh sh5fting iron, delivered at bis
door-currcncy, FER Ion. ou......-.......... 13s,7 y
Difference per ton. 200
The duty on these sizes is ~ cents rorpound ess 10
per cent-so high that it Alarms the importer some
timer and impels him to purchase here rather than
pay it. Tho importers plain that the manulactEr-
er then runs his price up to where it will offset the
duty aud beyond that operates on the necessities Of MS
customcra. And, that thus We keep heary duty on
large sizes OF shaftng iron bounty to three man
pfacturere who would mass wealth, even with free
trade In their product.
