Moulders' linton.
There is, perhaps, no branch Of trade or
manufacture which so perfectly indicates
the fluctuations of the pulse OF the coun
try's general trade as the foundry inter
ests. Machine fOundries draw their trade
entirely from the breaksges in machinery
in orher manufacturing establishments,
aud from the increase in the number OF
manufacturing plants. Stove foundries
turnish an article which is not used by any
particular class OF people, but By the en-
tire population. Every household IN the
land must have at least one stove, and n
times are good and money plenty that stove
will be a GOOD one, and unless money ia
very scarce no one will bake in al
old, fre-clay lined, stove with lids snd
oven plates cracks. The lastJOurnsi issued

struction OF its mem oecs, contains, among
other valuable information, statement

dition of trade in its own town aud vicinity
