EnrIish and AmerIcan Iron.

The reports ot the decline in the iron
trade Of England are confirmed by the
latest mail Rdvices. The London Daily
NseS, OF August 1, says that out Of more
than two thousand pudding furnaces in
the north Of England iron district,
about seven hundred are now out Ol blast
and are likely TO remain SO until coal and
iron are lower. The London Times, of
August /, reports that current shipping
orders are virtually restricted 10 low
sheets for Australia and China and cotton
lie hoops for India, and that "lrom Cana.
ia and the United States, which should
be large customers at this season, the de-
mand is almost nil, and home require
mentS, though little more active, are
below the average" while u letter from
Sheffield says: "Orders from the CONT
nent are even more scarce than the de.
mands from home, and America has
nearly forsaken u.s." In South Wales, 1t
is admitted that the vast iron.making es.
tabliHhments Of Monmouth and Glamor-
gan could not have been kept so fully
employed as they have been up to
tho present time, but for contracts
which remained untitled from the
early part Of the year. The Eng
lish financial writers are dOle[ul over
the prospect, and evidently see no way out
of the trouble 30 long as coal and wages
retain Their present elevation. In the
United States, on tho other hand, the In
creased activity in the production Of iron,
which began 10 be apparent six or seven
years ago, gives promise Of remarkable
results. Last year, $500, 900 tons ot pig
iron were made in this country-an in
crease OF more than million tons over
tue product Of 1s59-8O; blast furnaces and
railmills have become established In To-
calllies where they were almost unknown,
or disregarded, halt dozen years ago.
and the quantity Of ore raised Is increas.
ing from year TO year. 1t was estimated,
Ut the late meeting Of the Iron Manulac-
turers' Association In New York City,
that the new enterprises started within
the past year will represent an additional
investment OF about $S5, 100000 in the
iron industry oil tho Union. This rate Of
progress, justified by the continual de-
mand created by tho expansion Of our
railway system and the development ol
our national resources, presents a curious
contrast TO the melancholy exhibit made
iu England.
