Possible Heavy Losses TO Many Of

The american Manufacturer Of this week
saws: One peculiarly heavy risk which the
blast furnaces Of the West must now as
sumo Is due TO the detth.like grip held
upon them by the Lake Superior ore com.
panies. The price Of ore has been fixed
for the whole Of the year 1880 and q por-
ton Of 1881 at the basis Of sl2 so per ton
for Republic at Cleveland. With SO many
furnaces going in blast, and the enormous
rise in prices Of foreign ores and Of

OF any other large deposits OF
ore being made available this year,

ance TO make their years supply OF ore
secure by purchasing from the Lake COM
panies. 1t is not q very large furnace that
4 will consume $1,000 tons Of ore in one
year, and at the present prices this amounts
10 $685., 900. Suppose that the fears OF a
scarcity OF ore should prove unfounded,
that foreign ores should be reduced in
price and enter the country in large guam
titles, that the heavy stocks OF pig iron
held abroad should be unloaded upon US,
and that a rapid decline OF the selling
price Of ore should take place 70 -, the
basis OF 1870. After six months oil the year
should elapse, then the furnace which
had been unfortunate p enough 70 secure
only six months supply at sl2 60 would

furnace which had secured its whole

the climax has not yet been reached, the
, feared scarcity OF ore becomes Q real one,

age OF Sl25,0O0 accrues TO the furnace

it has proved a blessing indeed, by giving
an infant troubled with collie pains, quiet
sleep, and unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these bless

perfection. and which is harmless; for
the sleep which it affords the infant is
is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as" bright as a button" And our

We hope the republicans Of this portion
OF Dakota willnot neglect to send good rep.
resentatives to the Fargo convention, which
is to be held or the 10Th Of May. This con.
vention is called for the purpose of choosing
delegates to the Chicago convention and may
not be looked upon as a gathering of much
importance. But it should not be forgotten
that this gathering will shape the beginning
of the congressional and legislative contests
and in this sense it is fully as important as
the congressional convention itself.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

No Improvement in h Prices of Grain.
London, April 19.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press says: The somewhat wet weather last
week has not injured farming, as spring
sowing is finished. About the average acre
in spring grain is larger than usual, as the
weather has been unusually favorable. The
offerings of English wheat, both in Mark
Lane and the provinces have been very scan,y
and it Is evident the reserves are extremely
small. The quality Of most samples is yery
Indifferent, and there has been a difference
Of twenty shillings per quarter between the
highest and lowest quotations. Millers al
together ignore inferior samples, but fine
parcels sold at previous rates, the decline in
foreign not having affected English wheat.
The demand which has shown signs of i'm.
provement during the week, has fallen on
foreign wheat. The imports, both actual
and prospective, have been too large to en-
able sellers to establish any advance. All
varieties have gone steadily into consump.
ton at last Mondays decline of one shilling
six pence on American and one shilling on
Russian. The abundance in America will
not, between now and harvest, more than
counterbalance the deficiency here and prices
will probably be influenced BY speculative
operations in American grain %centers, but
the principal effect on future prices will
be governed BY the weather. Trade closed
dull and . further reduction was necessary
to effect sales both in wheat and maize. The
arrivals off the coast have been large, which,
coupled with the favorable weather and
lower prices from America caused-a depre-'
%ciation, and wheat has fallen to two or three
shillings per quarter, the larger reduction
being on white descriptions. Maize sold
steadily, closing, however, six pence lower
on the week. Wheat for shipment also was
two and three shillines lower, but neither
inquired for nor freely offered at the decline.
s The sales Of English wheat last week
we're 5,756 quarters at forty-seven shilllngs
eleven pence per quarter. against 1910
quarters at forty-one shillings two pence per
quarter for the corresponding week last year.
The imports into the United Kingdom for
the week ending the 10th inst. were 1872.
879 hundred weights of wheat and ia, 1868
