viewed with Keen Apprehension.

An English correspondent of the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph states that. the steady drop
which is taking place in steellrails in the United
States isbeginning toiexcite considerable atten-
ton in England. He says Not many months
ago steel rails were quoted at 1874 per ton, and
at that price, it was said they yielded no profit
Butnow it is found that orders are gladly taken
at $50, or, roughly speaking f6 per ton It is
now seen that if American steel rail1makers'can
take orders at this figure the market is lost for
eversto the British manufacturer: The latter
may, ef'course, boast thathe can still undersell
! his American rival. at certain Southern ports
but none the less it is fact that the United
States are capable Of supplying their own wants,
leaving only few countries to poor John Bull
This extraordinary drop in the price of steel
rails in America is viewed with the keenest APP
prehension by English producers. who not un.
naturally argue that the next step vii, be to find
American makers competing, with them in for
eipn mark "
