THE RECENT reduction in the price oil
their product made by the iron manufactnr
ers of Pennsylvania, judging from accounts
received from the sites of various iron indus
tries in the South, gives the southern iron
manufacturers no trouble or even anxiety.
The lower the price of northern made iron'
the more southern iron will be sold, for it
can be sold cheaper, and the sooner will the
South have all the iron trade; for the north
ern manufacturers are 80 handicapped by
the natural difficulties against which they
have to contend, that the cheaper they sell
their product the sooner will they os com
