VIRGINIA IRON.

The stock OF the Salem Improvement
Company in the Salem Furnace Com
pany has been sold to a syndicate, which
has also purchased the Twin Furnace
at Roanoke. and the furnace at Bristol.
II is believed that an these furnaces
are bought for the purpose Of operating
them. The boom in iron has created
a demand for all such industries. and
We shah not be surprised to learn ere
long that there is a boom in all de-
sirable mineral properties in Virginia.
There is not only "a brisk trade in
American iron at home, but our export
trade is immense and is growing all
the time Americans have at last walked
up to the fact that they can beat the
world at manufacturing; that they can
sell anywhere and everywhere in compe-
tition with foreign manufacturers. and
that the world is their market. All that
we need to do is TO pursue liberal
policy towards foreign NATIONS with
whom we would trade and keep our
selves out Of entanglements in Euro
