THE IRON "LoCKOUT" AT
MANCHESTER.

What Is Thought Of IL in New York
-.The American Iron Market Inde.
pendent of Great Britain.
NEW York, August 2l.-The iron mer.
chants In this city attribute the lockout at
Manchester, England, to the fact that the
high price of English iron and the in
creased production in this country have
rendered the American market almost
wholly independent Of Great Britain. The
importation Of British iron to this country
is very light and confined to special pro-
duct such as Scotch pig. American iron Is
now sent 10 Canada, and consumers In
California, who formerly obtained all
their iron from England, are now buying
1t in Pittsburgh and this city. An extern
sive dealer said that In making an estimate
this week 10 regard to 100 tons sheet:
iron, he found that 1t could be bought or
American manufacturers at half cent
per pound lees than the price OF an inte'
rior grade imported.
