There is not Ii tie disappointment in
certain circles which had predicted q
lively move ment In Ton now that the
elections have been decided. The past

thst regsrd, as the iron trade has been
anything but satisfactory, for the market
las show neither activity nor higher
basis Of prices. There has been no special
decline, bu: pricea have barely held their
own, and the market DOESN'T look healthy
or like advancing. The business trans
acted was OILY isir and consumption
moderate Il is pretty difficult to get at
the precise status OF he steel rails trade.

is not promising.
