INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

After Jan. the price of steel rails
in the east, at mills, will be $22, and at
tidewater $22.75. In the west the price
will be $23.. With steel billets selling
at SIS, this leaves a handsome margin
of profit for the members of the steel
rail trust.
The recent placing of an order for
SO, 900 tons of rails by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company clearly indicates
that that company at least does not
look for lower prices for rails in 1879
than now prevail.
A thorough investigation fails to de-
velop any cutting of coal prices by the
leading companies. Some of the inde-
pendent, an possibly one or two Of the
smaller companies, are shading their
prices slightly, but the concessions are
in no way affecting the trade. Coke
Bros. & Co. are holding prices to the
circular. The volume of business shows
an increase, because of the cold
weather.
John G.. Johnson, the noted Philadel-
phia lawyer, has been assigned the task
of drawing up the papers for the fore
closure of the Reading road for the Oh
colt committee. He says the work will
require careful investigation and re-
search, and that some time will elapse
before he can conclude 1t. A few de-
posits of securities have been received
by the Olcott committee in the last two
days.
1t was learned, yesterday, that the
price to be paid for the 10000 tons of
| steel rails recently ordered by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company Is $22
per ton. Last year the company paid
s24 per ton for it's rails, and the pres
ent price is the lowest it has ever been.
The contracts were placed with the
Pennsylvania Steel company, the
| Scranton Steel company, the Cambria
Iron company, and the Edgar Thomson
| Steel works.

For instance. here is the way the peo-
pie of Germantown. Pa. celebrated the
Fourth of July OF 1915. There were three
cannon in the little town. which had done
service both in the Revolution and in the
War of 1872. Several days before the
Fourth the ladies of the placed boiled
hams. roasted sucking pigs whole. baked
pies by the dozen. and biscuits by the hum

~ filled with jam. and on the morning OF
the great day deposited the good things

important man TO feed all the men and

Of people Early N the morning the
young men of the place had fired off the
cannons two or three times, as official

again. Powder was none too cheap then.
and IL was needed for more practical
purposes than making n noise, so the sa-
lutes were few in number.

NEW YORK, June 2o.-American fore
fathers OF three generations ago had
much more pleasant method of celebrating
the glorious Fourth than the advanced
and cultured urchin OF to-day employs In
paying tribute to Uncle Sam. On Thurs
day next large part Of the nation will
be plunged into an hysterical vortex OF
booming. swapping. laundering. cracking.
and crashing sound. Perhaps II the bold
signers Of the Declaration OF 1ndepend-
ence could have known what they were
inficting upon posterity they might have
paused before afiixing their signatures to
that noble document.

Of this up-to-date age. the Fourth of July
OF sixty. seventy. or one hundred years

patriotism more in keeping with the real
sentiment OF the event than the present
