SAYS tho Cincinnati Gazette: In oul
adveraity We have learned to manu-
facture for ourselves. Under the reign
Of imitation we were powerless ia
compete with foreign nations, but in
those years of depression we have
moved forward with wonderful rapidity,
until we are now almost to the fore
front with England. In 1863 We i'm
ported near $6O,0OO,O0O in iron and
steel. The time is not likely to come
when We shall do that again. In that
year We imported of iron rails alone $780,
600, 900. Hereafter We shall be exporters
of iron rails and not importers"
ACCORDING to a summary issued by a
Marseilles firm the aspect of foreign
crops is represented as follows: France
The crop will be worse than last year.
Will have at least the same want as in
1878. Algiers-Will be obliged to i'm
port. Italy-Bad harvest. Spain -
Considerable deficit. Russia and Tur.
key-The crops began to look satisfacto-
~; now they are below the average.
These countries will, at the utmost, not
be able to send half the wheat they did
last year. Switzerland, Belgium, Ger
many Very Indifferent crop. Hungary
will just be able to suffice for her
own wants. England will import eight
u ten million hectolitres more than last
vaar. -.
The Pail Mall Gazetts has come to the
conclusion that "unless emigrants 70 to
prepared to face the hardships
md privations of the pioneers life in
The unsettled western states of the
1nion, and have sufficient means of self.
support until they obtain employment,
hey will do much better by remaining
It home. It is q painful fact that the
Euglish, the Irish and the Scotch resort
% the manufacturing centres, and upon
heir inevitable disappointment soon
Ifter landing great suffering follows. In
contrast with these three classes of emf
grants, the Norwegian, the Belgian, the
Swiss and the German, on landing, 60 at
)nce to the western states and embark in
industrial pursuits. Consulates and
shipping officers on the Atlantic seaboard
ire overrun by the former for return
passage to their native countries, while
The latter are seldom seen."
The indications of a reviving and re-
vived business are especially noticeable
in the little manufacturing villages out
tide the great cities. For nearly six
years they have mostly been as quiet as
though enjoying continued Sabbath.
The population has dwindled away like
The water in . stream during q drought,
md the houses once swarming with oc-
the streets once alive with chill
lren, and the country stores once the
resort Of gossippy crowds, have been
almost deserted. FORCES and hammers
and machinery have been 80 nearly
silent, that the faint signs of life OBJ
served have been but an emphasis Of the
peneral stapnation. Now this is all
changed: The stream of business has
BEEN reflled by copious rains The
houses are again full, and more are going
up. The whole atmosphere is redolent
with the flavor of business. The shops
and foundries and mills and quarries
are again alive and active. Let one
drive up the little valley of the Stony
Brook from Lowell to Aver, and he will
be greatly impressed with this change
LoaoeN { Mass.) Courier. -,
The present condition of the iron
Trade is described as " booming" Mill
owners have all the orders that they
:sre to take and in many instances are
large contracts, for the tWo:f0ld
reason that they are months behind with
he orders on hand and that an advance
N prices is anticipated. In point Of fact
have already sent out Or:
lers announcing such an advance and
pig iron is now selling at four; dollars y
;on more than it fetched; three months
,go. Moreover. for the past six weeks
buyers have had so much difficulty in
getting orders filled except 1t much gh.
,r prices, that they have even resorteds
70 the foreign market. In. New York
alone, for example, there were purchased
Turing the last month about 1000 tons
# Scotch and $4,000 tons of Engliah
pig iron; while an average of
but GO, 800 tons of English and Scotch
ron combined were imported into the
during the fiscal years 1877 and
1878. The manufacturers of railway
ron are particularly busy, most of the
mills in Pittsburgi aswell ias in the west
laving orders enough on hand: to keep
hem busy for:a a year.-BufaIo Courier:
