RAILROADS AND
THE IRON TRADE
DEMAND FOR CONSTRUCTION
BELOW THE AVERAGE.
SOMEWHAT PESSIhISTIC
Outlook for Railroad Building Not 30
Promising as Year ago, as Recov-
cry Has Not Been Complete From
The Check Received Last Summer.

Chicago-The Railway Age says:
The outlook for railroad building IN
the United States is not as promising
as it was q year ago. There has not
been complete recovery from the
check in New York which followed
the disturbance in the financial world
last summer and while large amount
Of building has been planned much OF
it is being held up until financial con-
ditions are more favorable. There
are 6,90S miles Of new line under con-
struction and 1890 miles more on
which it is expected to begin work
during the year.
The Iron Trade.
New York Further Improvement
in the iron trade is noted by the Iron
Age. The demand from railroads,
however, has not yet increased in pro-
portion with the increase in other
quarters. The review says:
The better feeling in iron trade
continues. 1t has found expression
thus far in a livelier buying Of pig
iron in all quarters ava moderate ad-
vance in many instances. The major
ity of sellers have marked up their
asking prices and it remains to be
seen whether or not this will check
buying now that the urgent require
ments for delivery during the second
quarter appear to be covered.
Castiron pipe manufacturers are
studying closely the arguments which
would come up if the project to sup
ply a high pressure fire service for
New York and Brooklyn should ma
ture. 1t would eau for about 10O,-
900 tons.
The Pennsylvania tunnel Job has
made progress. Since it calls foI
about 100000 tons Of castings and
about $4,000 tons OF steel plates the
work means a good deal Of employ
ment to shops and mills.
When we turn from the linesofiron
and steel products which enter into
general consumption to those which
are sold chiefly to the railroads the
situation is less bright. In the lines
which are not protected by agree
ments very low prices continue tc
prevail while the tonnage Of those
products which are controlled by as
sociations is still light. There seems
little prospect Of an improvement ir
the purchases Of the railroads until
they are able to market securities tc
better advantage than now.

row, and II is stated tonight that on
tomorrow the vote whereby the veto
was. not sustained will be called up
and another attempt viii be made to
pass the bill. The veto message and

COTTON TRADE.
Pause In Downward Price of Staple
Stimulates Transactions.

Manchester. June "a pause in the
downward course of the price of cotton,
and the more reasonable figures demand
ed by sellers facilitated the transaction
of business in several directions in the
cloth market last week.
There was more trade in higher grades
for China bur the Improvement did not
extend to bleaehngs. A good inquiry for
India TRANSFERRED, and there was some
increase in trade, but the offers generally
were impraeticahe apparently based on
the new crop quotations. The trade for
South America was quieter, and 1t was
better for the Levant. Yarns were ir-
regular. For the home trade, American
crops had a fair inquiry. principally for
delivery In later months but the erratie
movements n cotton frequently rendered
negotiations difficult. The turnover was
below the average.
