seriously interrupted through the ice i'm

months work engaged. Prices arc frmer,
although it is denied that they have ad.

From leading western pig iron ceatres
word comes that prices are frmer and that
the tone Of the market is better. In some
instances an increased demand ia noted.
Petroleum certificates have gone cif dur
ing the week, owing TO scare caused by
heavy producing well near the Forest
county region, which, however, does no.
yet promise to open up any new deposit OF

1t Is known In a vague way hat enormous
Gums are spent annually by railroad compan-
les in promoting bribery and lobbying and
opposing private-bil Legislation in England,
but few who are not experts will be prepared
for the huge aggregate which a return just
issued discloses- In the decade from 1872 to
1882 the total mounts to nearly "a, 600, 600,
divided as follows: In promoting bills, e.
5O2,557; in opposing bills, ESQ.,, 06S; general
legal expenses, e6l5, 0S7; total, 93, 924, va.
Gas companies have also spent freely, their
total amounting to R356. 296, while water
companies have disbursed 94s3, $50. In the
case of gas and water only a small proper
ton was expended in opposing bills, Scotland
being nil with respect to gas and Ireland in
the same category as to water. The grand
outlay is no less a sum than "a, 6G4, S74, and
this, it must be remembered, does not take
into account the expenditure of the opposi-
tions promoted by private and other parties
TO the schemes of the railway, gas, and water
companies, so that the total cost of this class
of private-bill legislation must amount to
even a much larger sum.
