The quotation for good red short mill
iron at Pittsburgh Is about S3l, and higher
prices are expected before the close Of the
year. Atpresent the demand Is reported
quiet. It appears that most consumers
have iron enough to run them for the bal
ancO Of tho yeur, and that they are there.
fore not anxious to buy unless prices
should take another sudden upward move.
mont. On the other hand, furnace own.
ers have but little iron to sell, and are not
pressing the market.
The demand for manufactured iron Is
such that purchasers have sometimes to
pay m advance on the card. Old rails
arc scarce, and worth from SIS to S37.
The Pittsburgh Manufacturer expresses
the fear that the advance in iron has been
too rapid, and that the importation OF iron
from Europe has thereby been unduly
stimulated. 1t says;
Il is well known that large quantity
OF ply iron Is being imported that would
not have been II the advance had been
,tnore gradual and moderate. But the in.
How Of foreign iron, there Is reason to
fear, will not stop with the raw material.
In fact London dispatch states that an
American order has been placed in the
North Of England for 400 tons OF pud.
died bars, and we hear Of an or.
der for 1000 tons Of wire rods
having gone to England TINT would
have come TO this market had it |
not been for high prices. This order went
abroad Notwithstanding n preference was
shown for American rods. These are but
few instances Of the danger OF advanC.
ing prices too rapidly, whereby foreign
competition is invited and money sent out
Of the country which should be kept a,
home to still furtherdevelOp and establish
the industries which our present tariff
has made it possible to build up in this
country. 1t is feared that in attempting
to grasp too much our ore producers and
iron manufacturers will in the end lose
far more than they will gain. OF course
no single producer or manufacturer can
stay the tide Of advancing prices, but all
can refrain from "bulliug" the market
which can only benefit speculatOrs.

WASHINGTON, October lO.-The follow
Ing extract from an editorial In the Dalti
more Sun, on the Ohio election, has at,
traeted much attention here today, II
expresses tho general conclusion Of the
Democrats in regard to the bearing Of the
result on the soft money ideas Of their
Western wing.
"Regarded as the trial oil an issue tleltb.
erately made before the people OF the most
important Western State on tO the sort oil

States In the future, regarded, In fact, as a
test struggle between the politicians and
the people on the matter OF what Is called
"the Ohio idea, the Ohio election Is Of
great Importance. Its results may shape
The politics OF the future and especially y Of
the impending contest for the Presidency
In 1850 In most salutory way. The eleC.
ti0n, which seems 10 have been partlcipat.
ed Ia by nearly ever voter Of the State,
shows conClusively, aud It Is to be hoped
finally, that the initiation heresy,
no matter how strongly indOrsrd by
those who would set themselves up as
the champions Of a great political party /;
no matter how iOrcibIy buitresSed BY sub.
sidiary issues Of the utmost importance
and urgency, from constitutional point OF
view can not succeed In securing a major
ity Of votes 10 support II, even In States
where advocates OF rag money" were
thought to be strongest. It ought 10 be
admitted now that at least q majority OF
the people Of the West, AZ well Of Inc East,
are In favor OF honest money, Of honest
payment Of all public debts, and Of the re-
turn to llGsubStantial coin based on cur.
rency with which our fathers we're con.
tented.
Even the POa, Of this city, admits that
this is lesson Of the election, aud it
charges defeat upon Ewing, as follows:
The result Is probably due, more than
anything else, to the unfortunate stand of
Gen. Ewing on the financial question.
The people Of Ohio evidently do not be.
lleve in soft money. On the whole, we
think it Is about time for the Democratic
party TO recognize the fact that this IL
hard money country. Let Il return to its
old time principles, and act in every in.
stance accordingly.

MANCHESTER, October 1.-THE MARQUIS
Of Salisbury to-day received an address
from the Manchester Chamber OF Com.
tnerce recommending tho establishment
OF q Ministry Of Commerce. Salisbury
said the subject had already had the At.
tention OF the Government. lie would
express no opinion regarding the result OF
the gigantic armaments OF the European
powers. They compelled those govern.
Inents to !lud sustenance for them by in.
direct taxation, but he was surprised that
a great agricultural country like the Uni.

the sake Of a small portion Of its citizens,
to such heavy protection. lie could moi
help thinking that tho time wouId come
when the farmers Of the United States
would prefer cheap cotton and iron to

obstacles like European armaments will
not prevent tho United States from enter.
