ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE collapse OF
the steel trust and the consequent de-
cline In the prices of steel rails to SIT

stimulating influence on the iron and
steel industry. The 81. Louis agents
OF the Carnegie company and the
Illinois Steel company are keeping the
wires hot closing deals.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad company heads the list with
an order for ten thousand tons of steel
rails placed with the Carnegie Steel
company. This means one hundred
miles of new track somewhere betweeR
here and Galveston and steady EN-.
ployment for hundreds OF men Tor
months to come.
The 'Frisco also awaited itself of the
tempting opportunity offered by the
prevailing low price OF rsIls and placed
an order with the Illinois Steel conf
pany for 5000 tons. The Misso uri
Pacific fell into line with an order for
5000 tons and news comes irom Tex 40
that Il. IL. II. Green OF the Texas had
land has just closed deal ior 20 600
tons. There Is particular signiti c6nce
in Mr. Grsen's purchase as Il means
not repairs but extensions. The greater
part OF the Texas Midland track has
been recently laid so that II Mr..
Green's new rails are put down any
where they must 20 to extending his
line. To lrIenI who arrived from
Texas, Mr.. Green admitted that he III.
tended to use the rails just ordered in
building more roads. His exteRsio q
will doubtless be to Dallas anu from
