The Iron lrnue.

Mr.. Edward Samuel, OF Philadel-

market Of the let inst, says American
zig iron, which was nominally quoted

nominal quotations of S35@36 for No
l; 2O@2l for No 2; 27@2S for gray
forge. With the exception Of one or
two forced sales no business is reported.
As the present cost Of making is above
the quoted price, ma6y furnaces have
gone out of blast. All iron industries
are so prostrated by our financial dis
turbances that consumers as well as
producers are obliged to suspend ope

whilst the other arm, bent under the
