New York, Feb. 10.-The Evening
Post OF this evening prints the follow
ing:
An interesting account Of the direct
causes winch prcciDitated the rupture
in the Steel Rail Pool announced at
ilttshurs yesterday, was given to-day
by person familiar with the situation
Representatives of two OF the largest
mills :nGt In Chicago on Monday to agree
upon rates governing business in par
icliar section of the country, and de-
clded upon $50 as 4 basis price for GER
tam transactions. Just at that time
some large contracts came into the
market. and one Of the concerns inter
cSted was offered profitable business
at lower figure. Rumors Of cutting in
various directions were current at the
time, so the tempting offer was accept
cd, and an order agGrcgating many
thousands of tons was taken ut a price
said to be in the ncighborhood Of ST a
ton. This necessitated, OF course, the
withdrawal Of one concern from tho
pool, and thOSlilitieS We're at once begun
as soon as the transactions became gen
orally known.
Orders We're taken in this city yeGter-
day ut basic price of $40 for rails at
the mill, and local agents Of some OF the
largest concerns are said to be anxious
TO do as much business as possible
while an open market prevails
1t Is not possible at this time to tell
Just what effect prevailing prices will
have upon outstanding contracts. With
in the last few weeks contracts amount
ing to more than $1,000. 900 have been
made by some Of the railways at prices
averaging $23 or $27 Il ton. and although
some Of them are binding at those fig
ures. it is thought likely that many or
ders will be delivered nj a lower rate
by mills anxious to mold the patronage
O8 good customers. Whatever settle
ment is reached however, losses are in
