to lay the rails, means the placing In clrcua-
ton Of no less than s35, 0O1OO. The rush for
rails appears to be about over and the outlook
IL for higher prices. Consumption Of Bessem0r

tion OF duty being placed on raw wool Re-
cent improvement in cotton goods Is main

At most cities there has been no change In
the volume or temper Of trade Demand has
been quiet and while expectations favor an

somewhat disappointing The most marked
gains are at Chicago and St Louis, where visit
