In view of the numerous foreign con-
tracts taken by American steel manu-
facturers within the past year, it is sur
prising to read that the Boston Elevat-
ed Railway company has bought 300
tons Of guard rails in England. because
it could save about SO per cent. upon
the price asked by the American manu-
facturers. 1t happened that here was no
domestic competition in this line Of
steel products. and therefore the price
was made arbitrarily. All of which
goes TO show that there is a very pal
pable limit of the raising of prices by
the hope to continue in control of the
market
