abeyance. Buyers arc still holding back
In view Of still lower prices, which manu-.
tactures and brokers declare to be i'm.
possible. Tho probabilities arc that up-
wards OF 100000 tons Of steel rails
will be ordered during February,
but buyers say that transactions
vii! be closed only at their own terms,
which are from 81 10 81 so below asking
prices. Several large transactions in plate

Eastern nail strike, in connection with
the Western suspension, will probably
