PRICES HIGHER NEXT YEAR.


PITTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 25.-The American
Manufacturer tomorrow will say: at is
understood that the mills making steel rails
recently combined and notified the railroad
interests of the country that prices would
be advanced and that the railroads could
cover their wants at s33 per ton. Nearly
every railroad in the country came In with
orders and an aggregate Of 1900 tons of
rails were ordered at the above price, for
delivery in 1900 The price was then raised
by rail-makers as follows: For standard
sections I'm lots from one hundred to two
hundred tons, $37; carload lots, $685. and less
than carloads. $40; light rails, from twenty
five to fifty pounds per yard, $S7 per ton.
All the prices quoted are T. o. b. Pittsburg
mills. The importance OF this can scarcely
be realized. The total sales aggregate about
$50, geo. This means that about one-sixth
of the total steel output for 1900 will be con-
sumed in the manufacture Of rails. This
does not include the orders placed by the
Russian government some time ago. to-
gether with other orders, which will make
the aggregate tonnage next year much
more, than has already been ordered. This
fixes 1t, beyond all peradventure, that prices
of iron and steel for 1900 will be consider
ably higher than prevailing figures

take was made once in not granting con-

pose to blunder in this way again. They
can present their side of the question to
the operatives and, whether the advance is

TOWN OF MAFEKING,
Which n Being Defended Against the

It is reported that the first attack Of the
Beers is to be made upon the comparatively
defenseless town of Mafeking, In that part
of Cape Colony formerly known as British
Bechuanaland. 1t is not perhaps altogether
fair to call Mafeking defenseless, for during
the past few weeks of tension we have
heard that the place has been more or less
protected by sandbags and hastily thrown
up earthworks. But Mafeking lies entirely
in the open, bare on the veldt, which is as
nat as a pancake. A few isolated kopjes,
an ant heap every here and there, clump
of bushes under three feet high-these are
the only things that break the monotony of
the landscape The veldt runs right away
to the far distant sky line, and only few
scattered tin shanties mark the line Of rail-
