Iron

Iron.

Although the manufacture of iron cannot apparently be carried on profitably in Ontario or Quebec, a market for the fine ores of those provinces may be found in the furnaces of the United States. This trade has, to some extent, existed for some time, and is capable of extension, should good times return to the Union iron masters. The North Hastings Railway will shortly reach the Madoc Iron district, and by its aid the ore can be laid down at Sodus Bay, the terminus of the lines running Into the coal fields of Pennsylvania, at $3.46 per ton. Marmora and Madoc being the sources of these high grade ores nearest to the Pennsylvania markets, would seem to secure this branch of the trade to Ontario.—(Vide Monetary Times.)
