IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Noteworthy Activity I'm Arrange
pcnts 10 Advance Prices.


CLEVELAND, o.. April 2.-The Iron
Trade Review to-day says: Though buyers
have not been entirely passive, the past
week has been noteworthy In the main
for activity among sellers in the COM
pletion OF arrangements TO advance prices
The stcel-hillet pool, so strenuously work

week as TO establish a so Pittsburg price
for April The events of the week have
answered much Of the late scepticism re-
garding an upward movement II is yet
to be demonstrated that putting a period
20 the decline will bring consumers into
the market.
At Pittsburg the effect of the definite
fixing of Bessemer ore prices is seen IN
purchases Of round lots Of Bessemer pig,
one large interest taking 1000 tons, and
the price ranged from $l2 to Sl22O. Pitts
burg. Since the purchase there has been
considerable buying. and the price has
steadily advanced In the past few days,

or 1880. Pittsburg, an advance of Sl.N1
from the lowest point. The so price on
bilets has not brought any special ac-
tivity as yet. in view of the quantities of
steel sold at lower figures, on which
specifications have been lacking.
There is no change in the situation as
10 finished material. Pittsburg plate mills
have gradually filled up under the demand
for open hearth material in the past two
months. and on May deliveries have ad-
vanced prices TO $l.4j.
The railroad work is not what had been
expected. The requirements Of the Balti-
more and Ohio receivers promise an at
tractive tonnage. however, on car and To-
comotive account Some incentive has
been given bar-iron manufacturers TO
pull more strongly for the perfectirg OF
their proposed pool in view of the higher
price for steel bars that is expected to fol-
low the billet advance.

Coal Timers for Sound Money.

A poll just taken Of the miners en-

coal at their mines near Ottumwa, at
Forbush, Neb., and Oskaloosa, Ia, and

OF every nationality, and are fair rep

A Great Underground Railway.

No undertaking of as great magnitude
as the Waterloo and city railway,
London, has ever before been carried
out with so little fuss and commotion.
Day by day for the past eighteen
months, says the Railway World the
great shields have steadily burrowed
north and south from the two shafts
which were sunk from the stage at
Blackfriars to a depth of forty-two feet
below the bed of the river. Six months
ago the city tunnels were under Queen
Victoria street, at a point nearly oppo-
site ST. Nicholas Church. They have
now reached the nearer end of the city
station, where two subways have to be
constructed for the up and down plat
forms. The speed with which these
borings have been pushed forward is
due to the fact that no special difficult
ties were encountered in working in the
clay under the river, or in the strata on
the northern bank, which consist of ma
terials that are we'll adapted for work
ing with the shields.
