THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE IRON
MANUFACTURE.
trib

Manufacturers of pig iron. having kept the
price at the highest possible point 80 long as
they had orders TO all, have gone on aceumu-
lating stocks. which now have no sale. What
ever demand Is needed can be supplied with
foreign iron, which, though Il pays 8, per I IN
duty. can still be sold for less than the high
priced American pig. The Pennsylvania
Steel Mills have been providing them
hors without market. The Philadelphia
manufactursrs Of pig iron. have done
Of their metal, and can now for time sell 4 be-
reduction In the price Of American pig will at
once be followed By q reduction of the foreign
and the probability Is that before July foreign
and domestic pig iron will be selling TOR $50 per
ton. This will of course be followed by like re-
duction In all Iron and steel manufactures, both
foreigp and American. and. though the great
boom" will have collapsed in ndustry will revive.
the market for. iron will be reopened. the con.
sumption will be increased. and the sales will
far exceed those In the days of the boom. I'm
mense fortunes have doubtless been made eince
ast July In all the iron mills now will follow
the losses. Thoee who are holding large stocks
must sell at q loss. and as whole the sudden
rise must prove TO have been great mistake
q aIamentahle misfortune.
