Tiieso panics cannot understand how tho
price of pig iron can ndvanco whilo,,
there is such an enormous influx of for, ''
eign iron. The explanation of this seem-'
ing paratlo.v, however, sets the question
at lest.
I'Vircign iron is not of much account.
It is not available for ordinary purposes,
and in instances where it b used it is of
such an inferior quality, ns compared
with American pig.that tho manufactur
ers do not care to use it. It is mainly
what is known as foundry iron. Tho
present influx of this inferior iron is
composed of consignments to American
bankers, who have had to taku it for ath
vance that was made by them to specula
tors during the boom. It was bought by
speculators who, (luring tho boom, In
bored under tho assumption that any
thing that was Iron was of good value.
They were unacquainted with thu fa
tal objections to Scotch pig, which we
have given above, but soon found out
thai they had made a bad investment,
and in 'transferring this iron to their
bankets, they havo not explained the sit
uation to them, and tho latter labor un
der the assumption that they havea good
thing. This iron, it sold nt all,will havo
to be slaughtered in the full sense of tho
word. I tin expected, however that tho
'leater poiliou of it will bo placed in

hard to sav when it will seo tho light

in this city that lav idle for ten years

ators, who had their lingers badly
burned.
As regards manufactured iron, tho

bearing upon the question of thu stabili
ty oi tins nu ii'oveuieiu, it is grattiving
to note that tho movements nml happen
ings in the iron trade at Pittsburg nnd
the West during tho past fortnight
lave been ol more than usual import
mice, and, as indications ot tho pivseiit
condition and future prospects of this
ade, are of tho utmost moment. These
movements indicate tlie piovnleneo of a
belief that the bottom of juices has been
reached, and as a consequence, buyers
and speculators w ho havo been waitm
tor this stale ot altaus to ho 1 cached
iiivo begun to buy. So long as these
laities uero in doubt as to tho course of
irices it was impossible to get them to
buy ii (in. and every attempt to force stiles
or even a moderate effoit to sell, wtis re-
gaided as another evidence of weakness,
mil made tho consumer still less anxious
to buy. Dining the past two weeks this
has changed and some very heavy sales
have been made.
For the week ending July Dili, the
Pittsbiug brokets reported sales of up
ward of 1G.OU0 tons, and it is stated that
sales made anil not lepoited will make
an aggregate of iiO.OUO tons sold in a
week. This is the largest aggregate in
the history of Pittsburg for a similar pe
riod with one exception. Of tho 1G,UU0
tons repoited sold iu,uuu are coke or In
t urn i nous mm, o,uuu unthraeite. Anoth
er feat moot the sale is that the iron was
neailv all forgo iron, or iron for mill
uses, only 51 A tons being fotmdty. It
is stated that this movement is largely
speculative, and that much of the iron
which lately changed hands will be held
for higher prices, but tit thu same lime

OINTS l ltOM TIIK niU'OUT OF THE IIOAItl)
Of VISITORS. -'
Washington', July 20. Tlio board of
visitors appointed by the president, tho
senate and the house to attend the annii- ,'
al examination! at West Point last
mouth, of which tho venerable General.
Kobeit Patterson of Philadelphia was -
tho president, havo mado their report,
which contains some interesting criti
cisms. Thev found the buildings in
good order; but sav that tho cadet quar
ters are insuhtcicnt for their proper ac
commodation, many of the rooms being
now occupied by thiee cadets, and they
therefore lecoiiiinend an appropriation
by congi ess to extend the west wing of
tho barracks so as to add !)2 more rooms.
Thev also leeoinmend tho erection of a
bathing house for the cadets, as thu riv
er where they now bathu is exposed and
exceedingly dangerous, several cadets
having been drowned, and ns they ob
viously thought to enjoy facilities for
learning to swim, which, the board very
propel ly says, is something that every
ofiieer of the nnuy ought to know how '
to do. Tho visitors speak very highly of
the administration of discipline', nnd say
that tho system adopted "enforces order,
neatness and legularity in thu cadets'
habits, promptness and prccisiou in obe
dience to and execution of orders, manli
ness, self reliance and truth in every po
sition and relation of life." Tho most
important recommendation made by tho
board is nu elevation of the standard ro
uiired for admission to tho academy,'
so that common school studies may not
be pursued at West Point "It would
seem, thev say, "that instruction in
pulling, in aiilhmetie, in tho rudiments
of Knglisb grammar and in punctuation
ought not be required of professors and
ohicers who tire subsequently to tcacli
mathematics, philosophy, chemistry, go
olngy and law." The consequence, of
this low standing for admission is that
much valttablo time is consumed in pure
ly elementaiy instiuctioii, and at enor
mous expense! to tho government, and
that a needlessly largo piopoition ot ca
dets fail to sustain themselves in compe
tition with those who propeily staitupon
their course with a proper knowledge of
prerequisites. Thu result is a heavy pe
cuniary loss to the nation amounting to
about $1,7.10 per annum for each cadet.
Over half of tlio two hundred and twen
ty discharged during the past four years
were lecommeiided tor dismissal on ac
count of being deficient in their studies,
while many othcrsr. were from tho samu
cause permitted to icsigii. An elevation
ot tho slaiulaiil ot admission would also
permit tlie introduction into tho course
of higher blanches, such as moro ad
vanced mathematics, military history,
physiology and gi cater attention to orig
inal composition mid to eloeutiou, m
which tho cadets are sadly deficient, not
one in ten speaking distinctly. Tho vis
itois recommend the prohibition of tho
use ot tobacco among the cntletR at
West Point as is already the case at An
napolis.

Greener, who is 'a warm champion of
