In view Of the present low price lor
manufactured iron, the long strike at
Pittsburgh, can hardly be considered I"
loss TO the mill owners Of that city. DeS-
pitc their long suspension, the price has
had a constant sinking tendency, and Il"
to-day in u tlemOralized condition. What
therefore would have been its condition
had all the mills In pittsburgh kept on
running fnll time Mt 81 so, for pudding 7
The market would have been oversuprli-
ed, ~ indeed il Ia now, and the chances
for profit in the future would have been
decidedly les than now. In thiS view OF
the ease the suspension has been no
disadvantage TO the mills. Rather has II
been one Of those "blessinga in disguise"
that we're familiar to us al. during tho
war. The loss in wages to the employees
has Of course been immense. They have
not only lost all that they might have
male, but likewise all tliat tliey haye con.
sumcd, wlilcidle, oitheit past earnings.
And yet had the mills continued to run
the market might have hopelessly broken
down ere this, and compelled astill longer
stop thisspringand summer. The first loss
is said to he alwaystlie preferable one,
where loss there must needs he, and the
Pittsburgh people may therefore take
comfort In the belief that the winter Of
their discomfort has not been spent in
vain. There hnd to he a halt to over
production sooner or later, and where
could this halt take place so appropriately
mat the headquarters Of the iron interest
in thiscountry. .fA yEi-' .
We believe that the fires have been re-
lighted at Pittsburgh to burn longer, and
all the brighter and healthier, on account
Of the stop during the past winter, The
net result has been to assure the mill own
era better market and their employees a
longer season Of tcmuncrativc wages.

The Commercial Depression Of
the Country.

[From the New York Tribune Of the llth,l
The stagnation in business which pre-
walls both in Great Britain and the Uni
ted States affects the foreign as well as the
internal trade Of the two countries.
Fewer things are now bought and sold
less is produced and Consumed-by the
people Of both nations than was the case
two years ago. The true significance Of
the comparisons We are about to make
will be better appreciated by the read
er II he will bear in mind that in
the ordinary course Of events the aggre-
gate value Of the exports and imports Of
the United States doubles in fifteen years.
The same rate OF increase has for thirty
years past prevailed in the foreign trade
Of Great Britain. When the ordinary
yearly increase in value Of the foreign cx.
ports and imports of either country
ceases, II is evidence Of u serious derange-
ment in business, and when the volume
Of the trade for two years together shows
u diminution II marks depression Of no
less magnitude than We are now exper-
iGncing .
No future event Is more certain to hap
pen than our recovery from the present
disorders, and that within no long period
We are, however, constrained to say that
the approach Of better times Ia not yet
indicated by the statistics Of our foreign
trade. 4EOr the first fifteen weeks OF this
wear the value OF the exports from New
York has been $63, 900, 900, against $73,-
100000 in 1874, and 500, 100000 in 1878.
The value Of the imports for the same
period has been SlOG000,O00, against
Sl2l 100000 in 1874, and Sl97, 100000 in
1873. As compared with 1874, the fall.
Ing of in both imports and exports Is
about one-eighth. The returns Of the
imports and exports Of Great Britain for
the first two months Of the year give Il
very similar result. lnlS75 the exports
Of British produce and manufactures
were to the value Of Sl72,3OO,OOO, against
SlSS, 100000 in 1874, and $2O3, 100000 in
1873. The value Of British imports Is Just
now rapidly declining by reason Of the
diminished demand OF that nation for ar-
ticIes OF food. We mention these nm
palatable truths, not for the purpose Of
drawing any conclusions from them in
regard 70 tie future, but simply because
they arc facts. II we were called upon
to make any inference, we should say
they indicatethatwe hqve about touched
