Money for Handling Corn and Oats.
New York, March 21.-The Journal Of
Commerce says:
It has been definitely decided by the
New York trunk line managers to main
tain for another year the so-called pool
on ex-lalxe grain which comes east from
Buffalo. 1t has also been decided to
start rates much higher than a year ago,
new figures which will go into effect
with the opening Of navigation being 4
cents per bushel for wheat, 3# cents per
bushel for corn and 3 cents per bushel
for oats. It has also been decided that
Frank Harriet shall continue charm a
of the grain committee. The percentages
established by Mr. Harriet for the new
season will not, it is understood be far
from the following: New York Central
Cncluding West Shore) So per cent; Eile
%; Lehigh Valley IS; Lackawanna 4.
The arrangement absolutely abolisheS
all New York competition, except to the
small extent that the Erie canal mRy he
called competitor and places the New
York roads in a position where they only
have to consider Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Virginia ports in naming their rates.
The Pennsylvania road, which brings ITS
grain from Erie, on the lakes viii act IN
perfect harmony with these roads

BUSINESS HEAVY.
Iron Values Reported stiffening in
the West

New York, March 21.-The Iron Age
says today of conditions in the iron and
steel trade:
THE news from the central west con-
tinues very good and the volume of bus
mess is heavy, with values stihening
along the line. In the east, however, the
long expected improvement has not yet
really set in, at least SO far as pig iron
is concerned There have been round
sales of Bessen1er and forged irons in
the Pittsburg market at the higher
prices recently made and there is evil
dence that very considerable quantities
Of basic pig have been purchased for
the central west. both in the east and in
the SOUTH Since the different concerns
which constitute the United States steel
corporation have been acting in har-
mony lately in all matters of this kind
it is quite evident that the scarcity of
pig in the region in which they are all
powerful is a general condition and is
not merely influencing one concern or
one locality.
A movement which seems natural is
the proposed consolidation of the Mer-
ShenangO valleys, to which iron stacks in
western Pennsylvania, Pittsburg and
Cleveland are to be added. A syndicate
formed some time since has secured a
number of options on blast furnaces and
coke properties The ore controlled by
identified interests will, it is claimed,
give a sufficient supply of raw materials
for the entire number of plants to be
taken into the consolidation whose ag-
gregate actual capacity is close to 80 900
tons per week.
In the steel market the scarcity con-
tinues, and fancy prices are being paid
for early delivery In the Chicago DIS
trict there have been no larger sales. In
finished products the heavy volume of
business continues and in these lines in
which the jobbers are a factor there is
considerable pressure on the mills to
decree advances in prices. In steel bars
the agricultural implement makers are
feeling hRUnnd
July. In the sheet trade, which is I'M
precedented in volume higher prices
have been established and the withdraw
al Of quotations on the part of the tube
mills points to the probability of fur
Their advance
The most interesting item in the
structural trade is the capture of an ex-
port order for 10000 tons of bridge work
by an outside plant. In the rail trade
the placing OF an order for 5000 tons Of
girder rails by the corporation of GIas-
gov, Scotland, with American mill is
regarded as the forerunner of the whole
quantity which is %, 900 tons.
