cut off, Engineer John Kelly made a
record. With one stop at North Ottawa
for water he made the 109 miles in two
hours and IA minutes.
He made the run with engine No. 293.
That number is not so familiar as it
might be but when it is remembered
that the old number of the engine, be-
fore the new numbers were adopted.
was 504, it seems familiar. Bill Rain
made more than one speedy trip on 5O4
and if she could tell stories some start
ling tales might.be told.
For a long time 504 carried the big
brass star and spear head that used
to be on the front of William Frisbies
engine before he was killed. That spear
head has cut the wind for many fast
run and that big brass star just under
the headlight has flashed past many
a depot and switch light in record
breaking time. The old 504 with its new
number 293 is a freight engine on the
chain gang service but has lost none OF
those old characteristics for running.

RISE IN PRICE.
Has Become a Source of Worry to
Many Iron Men.

New York. June S.-Discussing the
trade conditions the Iron Age says to-
day:
The majority deprecate and deplore
the rapid advance in prices, but all find
it more prudent and Immediately profit
able to drift with the tide rather than
waste their enegries trying to stem it.
The question may be properly raised,
to what extent advances in prices are
justified when decreed by cOnSOlda =
lions or associations of manufa cturers.
Two principal reasons are brought for
ward, one the advance in raw materi-
ais and the other the higher cost due
to higher wages. In the cruder pro-
ducts the latter do not really cut much
of figure when compared with the
rise in prices. 1t is a different matter
with the long line of finished rolling
mill products. In the central west the
annual negotiations between the manu-
facturerS and the men are now in prog
resS and the labor cost for a year on
bars, hoops, plates and sheets is now
to be fixed. A very considerable. ad-
vance is asked by the men. How much
or how little of it will be accorded re-
mains to be seen. But the position of
the men is a strong one. The manu-
facturerS, under prevailing circum-
stances, may be expected to put the
added cost upon the selling price. On
the top of that they ought to get a fig
ure to compensate them for paying
higher wages on contracts during the
past six months at lower prices at de-
livery after July 1, when the new wages
go INTO effect In other words, higher
prices seem inevitable on finished goods
on this ground.
Plates have been pushed upward
along the whole line, largely because
buyers have put them up on them
selves.
In pig iron there has been a further
general advance.
Steel has sold in small lots at $50 to
S31 at Pittsburg. but these figures have
little real significance except to empha-
size the scarcity. Muck bars are exceed
ingly hard to get. Sharp advances
have been made all along the line in
finished iron and steel. structural ma
terial has been put up So per ton, plates
have scored another 81 advance, with
some large contracts placed and pend
ing; bars and sheets have risen in all
the markets. In the wire trade a gen
eral advance of IS cents per 100 pounds
has been decreed- Tin plate will prob
ably be pushed up since the men will
be granted a very substantial advance
in wages Steel rails for early deliv-
cry are only obtainable at fancy figures
in small lots. With the high prices
now ruling for relayers and old rails,
some of the roads that bought on the
break last winter must be getting near
ly as much for the material per ton
which they take out of the track as
they paid for the new rails.
The railroads are determined to come
in for their share of the good things
going and are advancing rates.
