OF the §60,000 appropriated for relief of seamen, less than $7,000 have been uvsed. The auditor diecusses at some length the subject of relief to seamen, in course of which he says that careful study of the rsturns show that about ten per cont of those veliev;d ara ““Jeserters,”. and. raco: mends that consulur cfliczrs be author- ized to relieve this class of seamen only when it is satisfactorily ascer- tained that desertion is justifiable, re- gardless of the seaman’s citizenship, The reports show that cash depositel for the y2ar on account of internal revenue «mounted to $146,497,624, total exp-naitures for collcction being $5,006 027.

Said one gentleman well versed in the finances and busineas of the country, when talking on the subject, ‘1t ap- pears to me the relations existing be- tween the railroads and the iron mills of this section is somewhat cordial and favorable for a bear movement on stocks, Perhaps after a few wecks, when these get low enough and when the small fry are feczan out and the \args fish have boen fed to their satis- fnction, tho railroads will etop cuttivg rates aud the mills will conciude not 10 etop.” Ia view of the near approach of cold weather, master bricklay- ers have concluded wo accede to the demands of journeymen that they be paid for a full day’s work on the schedule, one houie short on Saturday, and the strikeis at an end. The agree ment will last till January. A Talk With Pittsburg Iron Men. Spectal Dispateh to Tun Bre. Pirrssire, November 21.—An old and extensive mauvufacturer was in- terviewed to-day on the iron and stecl outlook. He eaid: “The decreaso in the price of steel was perfectly legiti- mate ard was cauzed not by any one man or set of men but by the natural sequence of events and laws of supply aud demand.” In seventeen years’ ex- perience ho had never known the steai buriaass to be as dull as at present. Pigiron is so low that it is made at a loes and while grey forge is quoted a4 $2050 and $21, dealers willingly cut these figures and sell at from $19 to $20 per ton, In general the busi- ness outlook is omdiuo1s and of his own knowledge he incw of Rittaborg firnes who made heavy eales in Chica- go at two and onequarter cents, There might be a slight revival on the first of the year, when railroads paid dividends and money was a little more plentiful, but by April trade would be extremely dull again, J. D. Weoks, secretary of the Iron sssociation, takes more hopeful views and gave as an explanation of the causes which led to the recent reduc- tion in price of Bessemer steel rails, thatwhen the country had recovered from long depression of business, great activity in railroad buildiog created a heavy demand for rails and fora while a large amount was im- ported, but soon the Bessemer rails reached out for this trade and at once all began to enlarge their facilities for production and the work of extension has boen going en ever since. The production has steadily increased and this year tho consumption of pigiron was greater than the entire outpat in 1875, It is probablo that the danger may be overrated and readjustment of prico of labor and materisl may pro- vent any further scare. One thing I believe, that establishments in this locality can run when western mills may be compelled to stop. When the panic struck the country the western mils were first to succumb, while Pittaburg concerns ran on. It is a fact during the depression thero was periods when more iron was made in Pittsburg than had been turned out when everything was booming, Philade'phia Iron Werkers Special Dispatch to Tug Bir, Puiraverenia, November 21,—The Philadelphia icon and steel men do not believe the report from the interior and west mean general depression in tho industry, Every rolling mill in this city 1s running on fall time and there is no proapect of a reduction of wages or working timo. At the monthly meeting of the propristora of rolling mills of the city yesterday tue pric of iron for the ensuing month was fixed 26-10 per pound, a reduc- tion fiom tho last fixed rate in Feb- ruary of 2 10 of a cent, According to the schedule of wages agrecd upon in the mills betweon the manufacturers and workmen the reduced price iron brings the workman's wages down b por cent, ‘This reduction will go into effect the first Monday in December, The Ki Cyoloue.
