PhiIadelphis Manufactured Iron
Market.


The correspondent of the Iron Age
writes as follows: The situation is not
materially changed since our last report.
INQUIRIES are rather more numerous, and
# It were not for outside competition q
fair amount OF business could be done.
For some reason or other there has been
~ heavy pressure tom Western mills to
rsslize ON their stock, without much re-
gard to price, which OF course, has serl-
ousIy interfered with the business OF our
local mills. How Western manufac
tyrers can deliver iron in this market, at
prices which, according to their own
statement, are less than cost OF protu2tion
is somel hin ( that Cannot be satisfactorily
explained, and yet this is what some OF
them are doing. We have variety OF
prices for bars manufactured at the mills
IN this CITY, but buyers understand per-
iectly well that Guslty is In proportion
to price, with a strong probability that
the lowest priced iron leaves the
largest margin OF prof: to the manu- &C
,urer. 1t IS assumed, therefore, that
the quality of the iron brought from
distance, and sold at these low prices is
of al inferior quality, but II not, the oas'-
ness will soon come to an end, as the lore
on good quality ct iron would be very
.er,ou.. There is no doubt. however,
that the general condition OF business Is
very unsatisfactory, and until the de-
msnd and consumption OF ron oeccne
greater, competition Of this character
may be expected. We continue our
quotations of last week. say, 81 to 2,2c
for fret class brands. and common iron
down to ]. so to 9Oc.

Marion County and the Capitol.

Marion County and the Capitol.
Fsirmont West Virginian.
The Wheeling REGIsTEB, to the sur
prise Of great many, came out last
Saturday morning containing very
sensible artic cone column in length -
IN support of Charleston as the Capital
OF our State. We say to the surprise OF
a great many, because it was believed
by nearly every reader that not only the
REGISTER, but all the papers OF Wheeling
we're in favor of Clarksburg. The
REGISTERS argument is strong and will
undou otedIy have a telling effect on the
minds of many.
The Capital question has been discuss
ed very little in this section, but within
the past few days we can see that the
people are beginning 10 take some inter
est in it. We have always regarded
Marion as being one Of the sure coun
ties, solid, in fact, for Ciarksburg, but
after hearing from different parts of the
county, and from leading citizens from
these different parts, we confess We have
changed our mind to some extent.
Many tell US that Charleston, or The
Third district, deserves some considers
ton at this time; that she has been
sighted in the matter of public build
ings, having been deprived or cheated
out of everything, no institution OF any
kind having been located within Ter
borders. On this account there is n
sympathy among our people for Charles
ton, and it seems to be growing all the
time and may be felt very sensibIy be-
tween this and the day of election. the
people of Charleston are earnestly at
work in the matter, which is perfectly
natural. we think, but strange to say,
the Clsrksburgers. who are, or should be,
equally interested. appear to be alto
gether indifferent, not even making the
effort that Msrtinsburg is, town which
has no show whatevPr.

Greenbrier independent
With Charleston the people Of Green

with Clsrksburg, except by an insti.

Greenbrier river. . natural outlet for her
timber TO the Chesapeake D Ohio rail-
road, and, if the Capital Is located at
Charleston, 1t will insure the construc-
ton Of the Washington, Cincinnati q
st. Louis Marrow Gauge Railroad, which
passes directly thrt ugh the county to
Charleston. This road will then become
an absolute necessity. The advantages
OF this line are unsqusled BY any on the
continent. Besides the general conslt
GRAFTON of being the hortest line from
the great Wet to the National Capital,
and connections With the Atlantic sea-
board, 1t passes, 10 this State, through
the richest mineral deposits OF coal and
iron In the State. Upon no other line
will or csn the iron and coal be found In
such near proximity. Between the
abundant and valuable iron and lime
stone deposits Of Pocahontss and the in
exhsasible coal beds of Webster, Nicho.
las and Braxton, the distance is 30 short
as TO defy competition in the manufac-
ture OF iron. The advantages OF this
road are 80 great that it has already at
tracted the attention, not only Of capt.
talists, but the committees OF the Ma
tionsl Congress. Without the lecs-
ton of the Capita ct Charleston this
road may be butt. olt with the Capital
at Charleston It il q fixed fact,
and will be made within very lew
years.
These considerations apply with equal
force to the counties of Webster, Nicho
las, Braxton and Clay. Thus looking at
this question simply rs matter of ma
terisi and local interest, without regard
to the general benefits sccruing to the
whole State by the development OF the
vast latent wealth OF this section, it is OF
Importance to the people of these coun.
ties, not only to favor the To-
cation at Charleston, but to have
every man at the polls TO
vote for it on the 7th day Of August
next.
