Further Reductions Erpected-RaiL-
roads JVdnt Cheaper Price on Rails.

Wall Street was not at all surprised yesterday
when it was announced that the steel billet pool
had reduced the price of blets 81 a ton cutting the
old price OF SO to SIS. This action had been
pected as the pEces OF plate and structural steel
had been reduced 81 to Sc ton Tuesday. 1t
was said that the cut in bets merely tenn
porary. and that further reductions would follow.
The railroads asked yesterday for cut in the price
OF rails from IS 10 S24 ton Although the request
was Denied it is believed generally in the financial
district that a reduction will be made sooner or
later.
X was reported in the Street that agreement
had been made among the United States Steel Cor
poration the LAckawsnna Steel Company and the
Jones and Mclaughlin companies as TO the prices
Of all classes of steel products. II is understood
that there is TO be no open market. and that the
present schedule Of prices under the reductions just
made viii be maintained, although further reduc-
tons in prices Of products far not affected may
follow. 1t is understood too, that if the railroads
agree TO supply the steel companies with certain
amount of orders for rails for the new year. the
agreement provides for reduction in this product.
The companies which have signed the agreement
vii work on the same basis, far prices
concerned.
An interesting feature Of the current iron and
steel market is the increase in the output of pig
iron. reports received by 1.-THE Iron Age" showing
an increase on September over August 1 of &C. 900
ions This brings the output to the point recorded
in the middle of last June although il is still 6s 900
greater part OF the Increase due to the
sumption Of work by the steel companies
