Mr.. VIM. E. s. Baker, Of Philadelphia,
Secretary OF the Eastern Iron Masters
Association, has Furnished the Iron Age
with a table showing the cost Of iron since
1850 The figures, which the Iron Age
says "iairly represent the cost OF pig and
bar iron ut works in Pennsylvania favor
ably situated for economy" show that pig
iron can be made cheaper to-day than at
any time since 1868, while the cost Oi
converting pig iron into bars is less tnan
at any time since 1862. The cost Of la
Dor has been reduced to ante.war rates.
In some places labor employed in
mines is down to eighty cents a day.
The AGE says: "There il no room for
contraction here, nor can rates OF wages
be maintained OH the present starvation
basis, unless we are prepared to sec our
workmen reduced to level scarcely
above that Of the agricultural laborer in
England" The furnaces are paying 81
per ton more for ore than they did in
1868, chiefly because Of the scarcity near
the furnaces and high freight rates on
tho railroads. The cost Of anthracite
coal is nearly double the price in 1868,
notwithstanding decline from the extor-
tionate prices charged from 1865 TO 1875.
The cost OF pig iron per ton OF bars has
no, been so low since 1851, and but for
the high freighls would cost the mill less
than before the war.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2i.-Capt. Jas.
Wilkinson, charged with $l5, 900 embcz-
element in New Orleans and elsewhere,
has proved an important arrest. onSat-
urday evening he received a dispatch in
iail from J. d. Phelps, ut indianapolis,
stating that he would arrive on the one
O'Clock A. N. ChiciSo train and 20 imme.
,diately to the Jail. Phelps is the party
TO whom Wilkinson shipped the packages
from New Orleans TO Chicago. Other do
tec,iyes conjectured that he was partner
in the crime with Wilkinson. They nc:
cordingIy decided to arrest him as 4 sus.
pectetl icllon on his arrival. Phelps on
reaching the city yesterday morning look
a hack telling the driver thdtshe was CO.
ing TO the jail to releasc prisoner and
wanted him to wait for him at the door,
whether he came out alive or not. The
detectives we're in the Jail when Phelps
entered. He was allowed TO go into
the room where Wilkinson was
confined and see him. As soon as he
started out he was arrested and two de.
tectiyes searched him. They went into
Wilkinson's room and stripped him Of
all his clothes. In the heel Of his
stocking they found two five hundred bills
which looked as II they had just been
placed there. When Phelps was accused
Of giving Wilkinson money, he denied
any knowledge Of and protested that he
had not siycn him cent, Some import-
ant papers we're also found upon his per-
son. Phelps was then locked up as q sus-
pected ieIon. To-day writs Of habeas
corpus we're taken out for the prisoners.
The court released Phelps but remanded
Wilkinson to jail. The money was not
restored, Phelps having said ii was not
his when arrested. s"4t9

The Lumber Trade Of the North.
HRnAl

The issue Of the Chicago North~estert
| Lumberman Of April s.h contains an an
nunI compilation Of an extended charac'
Ter covering the lumber production in
tbe Northwest during 1875, compared
with 1874. The editor states that abso-.
lutte accuracy in such figures is not pos
sible, but sufficient data is obtained 10
convey toIcrably intelligent impression
Of the extent Of the lumber production Of
the year, and its relative position to pre-
ceding years. : TitFi.t''-f ~
The editor OF the LumbtrHan says:
The volume OF lumber produced in the
Northwest we find was greater in 1875
than during the year previous. The am
cunt Of stock, raw and manufactured, Is
also shown to be greater at the end OF 1875
than 1874, the natural inference from
which would be, that either too much has
been produced or too little consumed, de-
pendent upon whatever standard might
be set up and called enough. ItcaanOt
be said that the year was a prosperous
one, as, in various parts OF the country,
too many business failures have marked
its career, and our bankruptcy courts
have altogether too much business. The
list OF failures has been greater in the
East than the West, calling the territory
between Lake Michigan and the Rocky
Mountains by the latter term.
In regard to the probable number Of
logs banked during the past winter, it is
observed: -
Speaking Of the Northwest in general,
we believe there will be full average
stock, the amount which may be lacking
in one locality being balanced by the ex.
cess in others. Under this state Of things
the season Of 1876, viewed from our pres
ent standpoint, docs not look promising
for unbermcn. Had the log crop been
no larger than indicated by the condi-
tion OF the weather early in the winter,
we believe the season before US would
have been good one. There ia no great
hope Of hung up logs, as from present in
dications there viii be an abundance OF
driving water.
The recapitulation shows the following
aggregates and comparisons:

said Belknap, could by thus resigning
avoid the affection in the inseperable
form Of protracted trial in form which
would attract q greSter degree Of public
attention and humiliation of availing
himself Of the defense disclosed in said
other person, he yielded 10 q suggestion
made by said Clyner, chairman as afore-
said, believing that the same was made in
good faith by said Clymer, chairman as
aforesaid, and that be, the said Belknap,
would, by resigning his position, secure
the speedy dismissal Of said statement
from the public mind, which statement,
though il involved no criminality on his
part, was deeply painful 10 his feelings,
and did resign his said position as
Secretary OF War on the ID day Of
March, 1876 and at II o'clock Of that
pay, he Belknap, caused said committee
10 be notified OF his said resignation and
OF the acceptance thereof by the Presi-
deut Of the United States, all Of which
was in pursuance and in consequence Of
the suggestion 80 mrde by Clymer and
thercupon said committee declared that
they had no further duty to persorm in
the premises, and he, Belknap, submits
that while said House Of Represents.
tives claims that Heyster Clymer was
acting in It's behalf in said pretended cx-
animation Of Marsh, the House ought in
honor and in law 10 be estoppcd. To
ddny that Clymor was aloo acting on be-
half OF said House in suggesting the re-
signation Of him (Belknap4 ought not to
be heard 10 complain OF resignation
thus induced, and this he (said Belknap)
IS ready to verify. Wherefore he prays

ment against him. ...l.I
