THE DROP IN sTEEL.

According to an observing Pittsburg
citizen the recent drop in the price of
steel rails by no means indicates that
the bottom has fallen out of prices.
Prices are simply getting normal again,
getting back to Where they ought to be.
The extremely high prices of some time
1 ago were abnormal and reaction is
only natural.
Nor is the fact that number of
mills have closed down any indication
i of a let-up in the demand for rails. The.
4 mills have been running night and day;
4 80 long that repairs are necessary. "A
mill is like man. 1t gets all run down
ON overwork, and unlessit is given a
Est now and then and something is
s5Sonet to build up what has wasted away,
will play out altogether. There is
lothing at all the matter with the steel

Nalthy condition. We are rolling rails
