ENGLISH IRON. (Daily Nove.)

High prides promote sharp competition. This is a trite remark, bat it has just recived a starting illustration. The cost of British iren has become so great that America has entered as a rival into car markets. The impastors at Wolverhampton, it is reported, were informed that a couecmer of the finished article bas un dertskou to importa larga consignment from the United States, and it was father stated that railway axles are £3 per ton chesper in Amerion markets than they are in Stafford shire. Should these reports te oorroot, should the imported commodity squad quality British produce, we are plainly boaten in a fold considered almost peculiarly our own. The quality of the metal, of course, is a

Cheapuess alone will not gire any foreign or home prodaut a permanent place We know nothing respecting the character of the low priced American iron, which may be Better than any that we maxidfacture. Bob should it be caly equal, British capitalists and workers bara stiff rivalry to szcoantor, it pays to bring American strip fron and axles to England, how much more to carry them ini France, Germany, and Rusin! The reserves of ore in the States are practic My ankimited, “and 'tho energy of que cousina ja utilising every field opened up bas passed into prover Steam bus now bound together the commercial and industrial marketa of the world, and it is pretty phuis that wider averages than formerly Inled will regulate prices, applies, and profits.
