A CIRCULAR LETTER

The Shoe beginning to Pinch.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.-The Sun says q
foretaste of the developement of the
iron industry in the South is given in
bids for the water works pipe at Allan
ia, Ca. opened few days ago. The
lowest bid, $22.24 per ton, was by the
Howard Harrison Iron Company of Bes
senmer, Ala. The next lowest, $22.95,
was by the Admission Pipe Work. Other
bids, giving only name of cities, were as
follows: Philadelphia, $;25; Louisville,
$25.SO; Cincinnatti, $S28; Philadelphia,
$2S.9l, and Burlington, Il. j., $29.71.
Thus, with the exception of one Phil
adelphia concern, which was $2.76 high
er, the Northern bidders were $6 to 81
q ton higher than Besscmer company.
AS Atlanta has about 5000 tons to buy
the difference in the whole bid is from
$4,000 to $4,000. Referring to this, the
Atlanta Constitution remarks: "a diff
ference of twenty-five per cent. is not
explained by the remoteness of North
ern fOundrieS. The condition Of iron
manufacture are more favorable South,
and that is what made the bids lower"
