demand" for pig iron OF the better grades,
and quotes prices of mill red short" atSlS

The market for old rails is reported
easier" at So, with an unwillingness Oh
the part OF buyers to go above So.
Inregard to the pig metal market, the
MANUFACTURE discourses as follows;
dealers report that transactions foot VI
about the same as for some weeks past
Prices have undergone no change what
ever, but strictly red-short iron continue;
very firm and in good demand at our quo
tations. Most OF the red-short iron that
comes to this market is made in the Shen'
ango valley, where another furnace has
blown in, after having gone out for repairs
some time during the summer. The fur
naceS in the eastern part OF the State are
having better demand for their product
than those in the west. Letters from pig
manufacturers in the region from Altoona
to Reading to dealers here show that most
OF the furnaces that are in blast are selling
their iron as fast as they can make It,
while some are sold ahead TO April, and al
better prices at the furnace than could be
obtained here, delivered. This will, Of
course, be good news to western furnace
owners, as il relieves them OF q competi-
ton that was felt to some extent not long
ago. These letters state that some Of
the furnaces are sending iron to South
America, the others finding market in
the East. This favorable condition. Is more
especially observable in the Reading dis
trict and in the Lehigh Valley. II will,
however. dampen the hopes that We may
have klndled in the breasts Of western
furnace mon when we add that the de.
nland we have spoken of is mostly fol-
foundry iron, and that there is an over.
stock Of some other sorts. But as an Offset

The pig iron trade Is gradually adjusting

Writ reference TO the suspension Of
podd Brown 4 Co., Of st. Louis, the CHI
caro TTmcs confirms what has heretofore
l.eu minated here, that it is chargeahle
in n considerable degree to the prevail
rnrc Of the yellow fever epidemic Mt the
south. This visitation has interrupted all
traffic in large and populous district, in
ending a number Of considerable trade
centres besides the cities Of New Orleans
and Memphis. 1t has been impossible, Of
course. for merchants in that region to sell
mods or make collections; consequently
their rcmi,tanccs North have ceased, and
with them their ability to make further
purchases. That the resources otjobbing
houses depending on Southern trade have
been subjected to tremendous strain dur,
ing the prevalence Of the plague can be
readily understood. The most surprising
thing about it is that so little evidence OF
the tension has thus far become visible to
the public. -
