AN EXCESSIVE OUTPUT.
The Iron Business Overdone-Dun & Co.'s
Report

The Iron Business Overdone-Dun & Co.'s
Report
NEW YORK, November 3O.-Dun d 70.
say: The uncertainty in the iron business
increases. More furnaces are going into
blast; every furnace in Pittsburg is in
operation, and the output larger than ever.
Buyers look for lower prices. The rail
market is dull and after sharp competi-
tion between Pittsburg and Chicago, an
order for 10000 tons was taken at less
than $26. This, it is stated, would be the
lowest price on record, contrasting with
SS7. .25 year ago. The combination has
agreed that any mill may sell the whole or
part of its product to any other. Pig and
bar iron are both less firm in tone. In the
anthracite coal trade suffers from recent
over production, and it is proposed TO work
only thTes quarters time. Monongahela
mining ceases December 1st, putting &, ,OoO
persons out of work. The coke produc
lion is the largeet on record.
The business failures number for The
week 232, compared with 296 last week,
and 2S7 the week previous. For the cor
responding week LAST year, the figures were
304.

AUGUSTA, GA, November 3O.-Fifty
thousand people were in Augusta to-day.
It was Carolina day at the exposition,
Henry W. Grady made on address of vel
come to the CArolinans on behalf of Geor-

the necessity for it among the whites, he
said: "Whst, then, is the duty of the
South? Simply this, to maintain tbs po-
lttical as well as the social integrity Of ber
white race and to appeal to tie world for
patience aud justice. Lei us show that 1t
is not sectional prejudice, but sectional
problem that keeps us compecsed; that II
is not hope of dominion or power, but
abiding nee sssity-not p ItrOnsge, but pl ,ln
seli-pr6 ssryation-th holds the white
race together in the South. Let us make
this 60 plain that any community any
where, searcbing its own heart, would cay
the necessity that binds our brothers II
the South would bind us as closely were
the necessity here.n
