too late. The conflict between the

UNITED STATES CHEAPEST
Steel Expert Says That Quotations Are
Lower in This Country Than
Elsewhere.

New York.-Steel experts figure thai
the United States is now the cheapest
market in the world for steel rails. One
manufacturer reports that recently =
sale OF rails was made In England on d
basis of $3.50 a ton, as compared with
US ton, the price that has prevailed liz
this market for the past several years.
As result Of the advance in prices
abroad the selling price of American
rails in foreign markets is gradually be-
ing raised. The difference in the price
here and in Europe has practically elm
mated foreign competition for the time
being.
The iron and steel business abroad Ia
exceptionally strong In all lines, which
accounts for the action of steel plate
manufacturers In removing rebates on
steel plates destined for Pacific coast
points.
The demand for steel rails in this
country shows no signs of abatement
