The rate on export iron that once
stood at 81 a ton is now s. a ton,
and the rate to CINCINNATI is
practically prohibitive. Iron is
therefore accommodating in the
furnace yards, which will soon be

railroad and steamboat rates are
such that the heavy stuff cannot
be moved from Southern fur
naces and leave in the hands of
producers any profit whatever \

case admits of. Congressman
