Agen,leman familiar with the affairs OF the Mount
Savage Railroad Iron Works, gives us the follow
ing facts.


l. The Company has supplied by contract l 900
tons for the Fall River Railroad, at $50 per ton,
delivered in New-Ensand;


9 Since the recent extraordinary rise OF Iron, II
has entered upon new contracts al $50 per ton, m
stead Of S95, as the Morning News has il;


g. II is now turning out 100 tons OF Railroad
Bars per day, and is putss up two new Blast Fur
naces and an immense Blowing Engine, which
will be completed in August from which time 1t
will be prepared 10 turn out 800 tons per day, or al
the rate Of 90 900 tons per annum:


e. II is ready 10 make contracts TO deliver any
quantity Of Bars ten per cent cheaper than they
can be obtained from Europe, under the present
Tariff;


g. The English price of Railroad Iron at the
latest date was Els los about SIS at Liverpool,
at which price it would cost SS7 80 10 deliver ii
here under a 20 per cent. duty.


So much for the statements OF the gentleman
who is acquainted with the affairs of the Mount
Savage Works, Let us here express our convection
tha, most Of the Railroad Iron laid down in the
Union hereafter will be made here, and that, II the
Tariff is let alone, twill very rarely be higher than
If imported under 20 per cent. duty Only let
capitalists feel that they may safely invest in this
business the heavy capital needed 10 prosecute ii
profitaby, and home competition will soon reduce
The price TO the lowest sum for which i! can be
made without loss and that, we are confident, is
as low as a reasonable man could wish il.
