1t is reported that contracts have been
made for GOO, 900 tons of steel rails for de-
livery in 1887. Mr.. Jay Gould has bought
about 10000 tons from Pennsylvania
mills, and is said TO have taken 10000
tons of English rails for delivery at New

Texas Railway Company has bought 20
900 tons, the Manitoba 20, 900, the Union

80, 900 to 40, 900 tons.
The Thomas Iron Company propose to
make an advance of 81 ton in their pro-
duet next year. This will raise the price
to about 81, and it is stated by them
that the advance will not afford much eX-
ira profit, as the cost of manufacture has
.
the price of ore and other materials are
expected. This company has orders booked
for many months to come. The same
company has contracted for all the steel
rails it can deliver.
Building operations still continue with
out relaxation and there is consequently
fair demand for window glass. The
trade will no doubt be injuriOuSly affected
by the storms of winter which will compel

The southern negro farm hands are
standing up like white men to their labor
organizations, and the work OF organZa-
ton is progressing wonderfully among
them The planters, while not appreclat-
ing trades uniOniSm, have observed, ana
remarked with much satisfaction, that the
spirit of organization is leading to greater
industry and thrift on the part OF the ne
groes In the years past all the negroes
worked for was bacon and hOminy, but
now the association of white leaders has
not only brought the blacks together in
union but it led them to greater effort, ana
they are doing more work, aud III many
cases beginning to save money.
One of the greatest objections to tue way
in which worEmen conduct their labor
movements is that they hold so many OF
their business meetings on Sunday. For
instance, the Philadelphia Press informs us
that on Sunday last meetings were held In
that city for the purpose OF organizing all
the labor organizations to vote for their own
Candidate for mayor. We believe that
labor unions are right, but believe that the
laws of God should be observed by labOrers
as well as by any other organization OF
individuals. Ifthey pay no respect to the
Sabbath they will forever ALLEVIATE from
them many who would otherwise cooper
ate with them -OSceOLa RereiUe.
