Reference has already been made in this
column TO the successful competitiou OF
American hardware manufactures with
those OF England. II now seems that in the
iron trade also John Bull is beginning to
Serceive that he must give way TO Brother
Jonathan. Mr.. Crawshay, OF Cyfariha
known in Wales a the "Iron King, "has
written letter to a friend, in which he
mourrs the prc-ent condilion of hts trade.
and acknowledge that he cannot see the
slightest prospect OF its ever fiourIshing
again. An old Yorkshire firm, aver visit
oftwo OF its directors to the Adirondack
range, where they "found mountain OF iron
stone as fine as the Dinnemora and Swedish
brands" has removed lis headquarters 10
the United States. 10 steel manufactures
also II Is conceded by the English that the
trade with this country must soon be ex-
tnet. The London Telegraph says "the
Total iron and steel products exported from
Great Britain in Iss3, compared with those
exported last year, show a reduction in value
of not less than tl3,OD,OO0," OF which fact IL
says, the many silent blast furnaces, forces
and rolling mills bear melancholy tessi-
mony. BY the decay of the principal trade
OF Sheffield, ii is said that as many as 5000
able-bOdied men have been compelled to mi
CRATE for lack OF employment. II IS prob
able that nearly all the great iron canIsrs OF
England are going through an experience
similar to that of Sheffield.
There is 10 fact in this connection more
suggestive than the removal OF some OF the
Oldest English firms TO this country. and no
stronger evidence can be required to justify
the belief that the United States, with its in
exhaustible supplies OF rich black ore, will
IN the future be the undisputed head of the
iron trade

Elsewhere will be found an article Illus
trative of The work being done at the Ma

the same connection reference is ma lie TO the
wretched aGC 1mmo1aSions afforded in the

sty existing for an Improvement in this
particular. For ore thing, the present site
is Objectionable Oh &C count of its unhealth-

planted around the Observatory were utterlv
futile in CORE citing the mia 5matic evil there
ard the place has CONTINUED sort of plague
spot, while the malarial afiiiction has been
remCdied in other parts of the city by the
hlling up or draining of marines and low
grounds. 1t appears also that the site on the
river is expos ed to fogs which Interfere with
the success of observations, AMI that in the

The commission to investiz gate the conIf-
ton OF the public buildings as to the r I.a
oility to fire in their report make a recon-
mendation FOR the erection OF a fire proof
building Tor storing archives no logger r..
quired for constant use. They follow very
closely the suggestions made heretofore in
LIE STAR il regard to the erection of
building OF this character. This structure
they recommend should be built OF brick,
and SO designed that add itions can be made
from time to time without impairing the
general architectural features. It should, of
course, occupy a position detached from
other public buildings.
