60 through the House beyond doubt, since
it met with 90 little opposition in the Sen

the States in proportion to the actual num-
Der Of sctiYe militia men, and will, it Is
thought, have the effect OF creating q

PHILADELPHIA. March 5.-The iron trade
Of this section has been very quiet during
the past year. The demand has been for
smsll lets, generally, and prices have been
we'll maintained in most directions. Man.
ufscturers are supplied with the iron they
held for immediate use, aud large require.
ments will probably be delayed until the
spring trade takes shape. Production is not
being decreased, and the steady demand
is depicting stocks. Ii Is said that on ac-
count of the low prices which are now the
rule, that some more furnaces will shortly
blow out Foundry iron has sold in small
lots a. $40 to $3.50, and No. . at SO; forge
iron has sold more freely at SIS for most
makes, SOC more for best and sec less for
some inferior makes. A large sale of do.
mestic BeSSemer is reported at SIS so at fur.
mace. Muck bars are IN negotiation at So.
Alooms are dull At old quotations. Nails
have sold in small lots az $ so to 81 %.
Plate, tank and structural iron are selling
in retail lots, and there are large require
ments which must soon be plsced. For
bridge, car and engineering work quota
tons are unchanged Manufactured iron
is quoted at 81 for refined and sl75 for
common. Mills are msking rather more
iron, and some mills making best qualities
OF rs fined are well sold up. Steel rails are
selling in small lots at SIS. Large lots
would be taken at s3i, but buyers are de.
teTmined &c make better terms, and will
wait until makers want the bu.iness and
are willing TO make concessions. Old rails
have been in sctive demand, and one or
two good sales have been closed at $3.50
for tees. The anthracite coal trade Is dull.
and production is above requirements,
Bitumiuous is in improving request.

A BIG INDUSTRY.
How the Manufacture OF Sugar Is
Growing in the North.


GrOBiDg in the North.
Some interesting statements we're recent
ly made here in an address delivered by
Prof. Wiley Of the National Museum upon
the sugar Industry of the North. He gave
the amount OF beet sugar produced in this
country during the past year in round
figures at enc million pounds, explaining
that but for the by-products in refining
sugar from 1eets this industry could not be
made to pay. The principal points for the
manufacture of glucose or starch sugar, Of
which numerous quantities are produced
Of late years, are Buffalo, n. y, Peoria
H., and one or two other western cities
Glucose is chief used 10 the manufacture
of teer and the adu terati0n Of syrup. The
lecturer, in testing forty samples of syrup
found thirty-eight adu u,terated with glucose
The sugars Of commerce are rarely adulter-
ated with glucose. OF sorghum a much
larger area has been planted during the
past year than ever before, and it is oHly
during tie last few years that sugar max
ing from sOrgi um has become a more ex-
tenSiye industry in this country. 1t is
plir cipally raised for the production Of
mo!asses, of which by the small mills of
the farUing population alone forty mill
ions Of gallons were made during the last
yesr. The larger factories produce about
one million gallons. Experience has
shown that The sugar beet industry thrives
best in NGrthern latitude, where the cli-
uste does not rise much above - degrees
of temperature in summer, and that s1r-
ghum, on the other hand, yields the bnst
results in latitude not below 75 degrees.
