ginner got 10 the quarter in S012 sec

ANOTHER RAISE In FREIGHTS
PROPOSED.

Not long since the Western rail-
Dads advanced their ireights ten
sr cent, and it was then thought
lat there would beno further ad-
ance, but those who reached that
bnc]usion are likely to be disap-
ointed. 1t is now reported that
mother advance will be made and
h,s Increase will be as large or larger
han the last and will go into effect
10 the flrst Of January. The reason
or that proposition is claimed to be
he increase In operating expenses,
brought about by the advance in
wages to employees Of the various
roade. This may be to some extent
true, but il is thought thecontrolling

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 2.-The Trade Review.
In Its current issue, says: There is better
feeling in the volume of business placed The
large rail contracts Of last week the additional
business done by western roads in the past week
and the pending inquiries for rails amounting
to about go. 900 tons of standard rails and
standard sections, have inspired confidence In the
continuance of demand from that source on
liberal scale for another year. Some improve,
ment in the prospect for crops, as contained in
reports from along Important granger roads, has
also helped to make good sentiment in the iron
trade.
So far specifications for the more important
forms of finished material are concerned large
producers report that there has been little If any
difference in the past two months from the rate
Of the preceding months in the present year
Some mistaken differences have been made from
the reports of the bookings of some Of the i'm.
portant steel interests that have appeared from
time to time. These indicated full employ
ment of the capacity of the United States Steel
Corporation, for example, until November Of thfs
year, and, allowing for lines in which booking
were not SO far ahead, the inference was that In
other materials the entire output for this year
was TAKEN Such estimates have been mislead-
ing. In some cases they represented estimates
of large consumers, builders of steel cars for
example. where, as 1t was well known that speci-
fcations could not be forced from such buyers

OF the estimates. $3.50
That new business is not being placed In the
volume of last year at this time is not as sirnif-

Consumption continues very heavy, the particular
change that has come over the trade is that buy-
ers are relieved of the necessity OF looking "a
far ahead In arranging for their supplies
