FREE RAW MATERIALS.
New England Iron Masters Want to Break
Down the Tariff Wall,


Boston, July 31.-AnOther phase Of
sectional. competition and rivalry in the iu-
dustry Of iron and steel manufacture has
been sprung by New England iron masters.
The plan, which is heartily aided by all
capitalists connected with this industry in
New England, requests all Senators and
Representatives to insist upon the ircor-
poration of certain provisions in any revised
tariff law that shall be enacted. They ask
(l) That iron ore, coal and coke shall be
put upon the free list, as they were before
the war; (2) that the duty upon pig iron
and scrap iron and scrap steel which pre-
vailed Immediately before the war be re-
stored, to wit: duty of "a per cent. ad
yslorem.
II is admitted that the industry in that
section is unable TO compete with western
mills and furnaces, and that unless relief
of the kind proposed is furnished soon, the
iron industry Of New England must cease
TO exist.

OF Bushels.


of Bushels.
LONDON, July 31.-It is now admitted
that the Russian wheat crop is the worst
in many years, and it is feared that a food
panic may occur. The Government, in
order to take the e6ge Off will reduce grain
freight rates so as TO keep wheat within
the reach Of the poor. A cyclone in Hun
gary and Northern Roumania not only
destroyed the grain still standing, but has
swept away many granaries at various
centres where wheat was stored. In India
the wheat crop is reported to be 10, 600 600
bushels short The recent cold and wet
weather in Eogland and France, where
two months ago, good crop was expected,
has dashed the hope that anything like
fair crops may be expected unless six weeks
of uninterrupted sunshine favor those
countries.
