was entirely superseded by the manu-
facture of steel rails. In that year
iron rails were quoted at $3.50, which
was only SO less than steel rails.
What a tremendous fall in the price
of steel rails there has been in thirty

making steel. 1t would seem that the
minimum cost of making steel rails
had been about reached, but it may be
that it will still be considerably
cheapened.

PRICES OF STEEL RAILS.

The dissolution of the steel pool and
the dropping of the price of steel rails
from $25 to 81. with immense sales
