IL Panic In steel and Iron.
NEW YoEK, November lS.-The Post to-
night editorially says: Two weeks ago
there was a. heavy drop In the prices
OF pig iron at Glasgow. Scotland, referring
to which the London Economia OF the It'll
instant saii that ii. was due to the opera.
tions OF spectators who believed they were
only anticipating what must soon come rs
II natural result OF the condition Of
the trade, but that they might
be mistaken, rs the export orders to the
United States were, at that time, still quite
large. The general condition OF the iron
trade, both in the United States and. Great
Britain, however, at present, seems to sus-
tain the views OF the Glasgow spectators.
A cable dispatch Of yesterday from London
to BrulaWtts Journal says that the shin.
men.s Of pig iron have diminished, ,and that
finished" iron is lower in comparison
with pig iron. Tho condition iu This
country is similar, only that the depression
OF all kinds Of finished bar iron, steel
rails &C., is more marked. 1t is generally
conceded that the rapid expansion Of the
railroad system Of the United States must
receive very positive check within tho
next few months. The recent reductions
OF time and wages at the steel rail mills At
Joliet and Clieago aHd other points were
made in view Of the faot TINT there are no
more orders for steel rails In sight. II haa
been only 4 question OF time when. the
extraordinary construction OF railroads in
the United States should receive check.

Ten or twelve yenrs ago, when 1t was In Its
