The other inland trace has improved in consequence of the bonn tifal harrest. To the superficial observer it wight appear as it coal and iron had likewise profited by the same one, for a good many sales have intely toon effected. However, the report raferred to shows these to have been mide at losing prives. The articta which bas suffered moet by the depression in the fron trade is ruile. The only speciality of irou is dustry favourably reported upon is the manu factare of arme.
