THE NAIL CARD.
The Action of Western Nail Association
A Review of the Situation.

A Review of the situation.
The Western Nail Association held
meeting in Pittshurg yesterday morning
and determined upon reducing the card
from =. 80. which has been the nominal
rate for some time, to 81. 10. A Pitts
burgh Exchange saws: This is in order
to get nearer the actual selling figure,
which has been S22j in car lots ut sixty
DAYS The new rate will tonch not far from
the jobbirg rate. The trade is quite dull,
the Stock of nails which was accumulated
some months ago being still almost intact,
The price seems small for nails, but it cor
responds with the selling price of common
bar iron. The card rate in this city as will
be seen BY the markets in the REGIS
TER. has been 80 10 for sere-al days.
There seems to be no doubt in the minds
of the manufacturers but that Il halls has got
to be made in the reduction OF the selling
price of nails Everybody cOnyerSant with
the mandatory Of nails knows full well
that nails cannot he manufactured and sold
at 81 % a e.. and the manutdcturerreaIlze
anything on them. For the benefit OF our
readers we will state: l9g kegs OF nails
constitute a ton of iron, and at S2.2j per
key would make the selling price of the ton
amount TO $I3s7!. Now, close figuring on
the cost of production of ton of nails
shows that the actual cost is fraction over
Si3, this, of course does not make any a.
lowance for the interest on the capital in
vested by the manufacturers to make these
nails. The above shows concusivcly it the
price of nails does not advance. mills that

CLARKE'S FORK RAILROAD.

WASHINGTON. April 3O-In the senate
to-day the bill to grant the right of way
to the Cinnabar & Clarke's Fork railroad
company through portion of the Vel
lowstone National Park was taken up.
Harrison expressed the hope that some
route could be found for the road other
than through the Park. He did not like to
see the Park thus invaded and would
like to have the committee on Territories
have the opportunity to look into the
subject. Further consideration was post.
poned.
1t was this action on the part of Sena-
ror Harrison which has caused such
stir in this part of the country. and very
justly so. as all who are acquainted with
the geography of the county never Tor a
moment supposed that hostility would
be aroused against the right. simply be-
cause it ran over and near the northern
boundary of the Park, entirely out OF the
range of all the natural curiosities and
not near the line of travel pursued by
tourists and slght-seers, and yet it is the
only natural and best adapted route to
and from the Clarke's Fork mines. In
deed the National Park would lose moth
ing of material advantage to it, were the
strip over which it is proposed to con-
struct this road taken from it entirely.
We hope that sufficient light will be Civ
en- the committee on Territories that will
induce it to report favorably on the bill
We think we are safe in saying that it
will not infringe in any particular upon
the Park, or in any sense mar any of its
beauties.
