SINCE the election there has been consider
able increased activity in the iron trude Of the
country. A TRIBUNE representative called on
several Pittsburg iron merchants yesterday, and
was told thAt, although prices hnd not
advanced, the demand for the metal at
present prices had largely increased. Several
merchants said that they had to decline ORDERS
