The shipments of Southern pig iron

The shipments Of Southern pigiron
to the Eastern states where it under
sells Pennsylvania iron is striking
fact connected with the conditions OF
Ae iron trade. The Pennsylvania iron
makers say they cannot afford to make
,pig-iron for less than $18 q ton, and the
price ought not to go below $20a ton;
but Tennessee furnace owners say they
can make it for $12 ton and get a
profit. When rates Of transportation
are low, Tennessee iron can be shipped
to Cincinnati and even to Pittsburg aud
sold at profit. Ohio iron sent to the
East undersells that made in Pennsyl-
yania, and Tennessee iron sent to Gin
,cinnati undersels that made in Ohio.
The inevitable result Of these prices
must be, in the end, to transfer the
business Of iron making to those re-
sgions where iron can be made cheapest
--the districts in the South where ore
,and coal are found alongside, and lab
or. AMI living are cheap.

Then begins the milking. Osceola,

A second financial writer, not unduly
cast down nor elated, ventures to say
that ere long, with an increased conf
dence and demand inevitable from
consumption of present products, there
will ensue revival of business which
will renumerate us for the long-con-
tinued depression. But this revival
will not come by observation, nor by a
pretence OF it; it will come naturally

One OF the most Interesting facts
shown by the collated returns of the
popular vote in the recent election is
the comparative insignifcance Of the
vote outside the two great parties. OF
the 100000 votes cast all but about
BOO, 1000 were cast for Cleveland or
Elaine. In other words only three per
cent. of the vote was thrown away.
This was smaller proportion than the
third party and scattering vote in 1880.
