English and American Iron COmpe.
IiIIOn.

,Ftom the Philadelphia LedgCrl
The cable brings intelligence that the
English iron masters are in alarm about
the growing American competition in
their iron trade in foreign countries. The
gradual changes in favor OF American IRON
IN this important branch Ol commerce
have been repeatedly pointed out in the
Lcigcr. Tho cause ofthem is mainly the
high price of English iron. Foreign buy
ers have long since discovered that we
ran make better iron than the English
r0n.masters, and now that we can under
sell them in some Of the manufactures Oi
iron, OF course the Canadian, West Indian
and South American consumers prefer the
American article. In this matter, how
ever, it will not do to have too much con.
hlenCc In retaining the ground gained
without further effort. Thoroughly
aroused, the British manufacturers will
seek 10 recover their markets by redu-
cling prices, and this movement will
have to be met. Candid English
observers OF the condition ol aG-
tairs say that they can never fully rG'
cover the lost ground, and this admission
ls Of great Importance TO US. The pres
rnt condition Of Pennsylvania iron manu-.
Acturc may be briefly stated. The blast
furnaces are working TO full capacity, and
their owners are making large profit, with
prospect OF good business for the ap'
prO4chiug season, rs there ale heavy or
drrs yet 10 fill. The demand from Varl.
Ous branches OF manufacture absOrbs all
the pig iron produced, there being num-
ber OF now blast furnaces going up in
various parts Of the State to enlarge the
production. The railway iron trade is
iuIl, however, and the rail mills are doing
buta poor business. there being but little
demand for rails. The shipments Of pig
non 10 Canada, where VIC can underscll
England, have been chiefly OF Lake Supe'
rioT charcoal iron. The aggregate pro-
lublion Of pig iron In the United States
IS at present about equal to the home
consumption.

older citizens, that tho late George N,

city, or its immediate vicinity. About
the year 1888, and for some few years pre-
yiOIs, George N. Sanders was ono oil the
besus OF Cincinnati society. OF COM
mSnding presence and fine education, he
was destined TO shine in any position in
lie. But Of this II Is not our purpose to
speak. We rather will deal with the ten
der side Of his nature. He sought the
hand Of a beautiful young lady, now the
vile Of one Of our principal dry goods
merchants, and was rejected. He was
not, however, to be batfled so easily. he
took considerable pride In some fancy
stock he was selling on his farm near the
city, and as a compliment TO the young
lady above mentioned, and probably to
advance his interests In that quarter,

The Season and the Crop.

Inc Season ana the GTop.
The present crop of wheat, in the Valley,
is considerably less than an average Even
that which has been taken from the fields
partially disappoints the hopes of the
farmers, In the net result. The crop OF
oats is abundant all over the country. and
this too has already been secured. But
such season for garden vegetables, pota-
toes, cabbage, pulse of every discrii, ton,
and the undulating oceans Of corn fields
over the land is so beneficent and unexam-
pied, as to leave in the heart Of the hus-
bandman no shadow of dependency or
complaint. The danger is, if it continue
long this way, that our streets will spring
up into green meadows, and become as
trackless and untrodden rs the BroadWays,
and Thourough-fares of ancient Balbcc,
or Parsepolis. Such q season, unques-
tionably, would soon make the great
Sahara and olt, own Atacama, bloom and
blossom with all the exuberance which
the prophetic eye Of an Isaiah ever beheld;
ard not merely the hardy fern, but the
delicate rose of Sharon would smile on
the rocks and precipices.-Shen. Valley.

This life is from the pen Of L. D. Ingersol

pist, reformer, q journalist, a politician, q
statesman, farmer, historian, and a man
of the people. We believe that the gcner-
III masses Of readers will prefer such life

his lifetime. Men will here find the most
notable chapters III Mr.. Greeley's life pre-
sented in brief and graphic style. The
work is suitably illustrated with engrav-
ings on wood; with steel engraving OF
Mr.. Greeley.
Through the kindness Of the publishers
we are furnished with a table of contents
| of this new life Mr.. Greeley,and from q pc
rusal of the headings we are satisfied that
| Ingersoll'sLife Of Greeley will be found to
be just a life as has long been demanded OF
the great American editor, the sad telmi-
nation of whose caree caused SO much
mourning throughout 4Nation even those
who Sought fit to oppd him at the late
Presidents election but still admired the
man for hill many noble and good qualities.
BY all means securefa copy Of Ingersolls
Life. of Greeley. The work is printed IN one
large Royal Octave volume Of over geo pa
ges, elegantly illustrated with about forty
engravings, including portraits printed on
tinted wood cut paper. We have no hest
alton in saying that all will pronounce this
the most elegant volume for the price ever
published in America. It is sold by sub
scription only and delivered to subscribers
by agents at the following prices: In Lee
