Mr.. Howe has looked up a number Of
decisions and opinions I'm cases parallel

would be useless TO apply. He has given

Southern No IS sold at $50. Birming-
ham and Ijessemer has fallen 10 N5W at
Pittsburg. Bar is cut again, and struc-
tural iron is slow. Imports at New YORK
were very small last week, and for the
past four weeks have been about 100000
below those OF last year. so that imports
for the past month were probably $40
