OUT DOWN ALL SUPPLY ORDERS.
Railroads Made Radical Retrenchment
CurtaiImentS.

st. Louis, Aug. 12.-Even before
railroad managers learned that there
was little or no probability of getting
higher rates into effect during the
summer, it was generally reported that
they were pursuing % conservative
policy with respect to the purchase of
materials and supplies. 1t was gener-
ally understood, however, that this
policy related particularly to steel
rails, and that in other lines of manu-
featured steel their orders had not
been notably curtailed. Most railroad
executives admitted that they would be
compelled to place good sized orders
for cars whatever the outcome of the
rate controversy might be-
Apparently it has not been known
that many of the railroads have been
pursuing an ultra-conservative policy
with respect to purchases of every
kind, except possibly new equipment,
which they realize must be secured to
handle the crops. 1t is learned that
the officials of some of the southern
roads some time ago adopted an ex-
tremely radical policy with regard to
their purchasing department. 1t is
understood that on one of these ROADS
the policy calls for the presidents per-
sonal approval for every purchase that
is made 1t is unnecessary to say that
it embraces a wide range of industries.
1t is said that this policy of extreme
conservatism with respect to new buy
ing by the railroads will continue in
effect as long as the present uncer-
tainty regarding the rate situation con-
tinues and until the possibility OF a
short corn crop no longer exists.

CUT IN PRICE OF STEEL RAILS.
Made Necessary in America on Ac-
count of Foreign Competition.


Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 12.-For the
first time since 1901, when the price of
$2S per ton was established for stand
ard steel rails, the United States Steel
corporation, through its subsidiary, the
Illinois Steel company, has cut that
price. 1t leaked out that the Illinois
Steel company has taken a contract
within the past few days to furnish
10000 tons of rails to a western rail-
road at $3.50 per ton, being forced to
accept this price or lose the order to
German and English manufacturers,
who, aided by cheap water tranSporta-
ton in their own bottoms, could have
laid their foreign product down on the
San Francisco wharves at that figure,
cheaply to the buyer as the Illinois
Steel company could. The question of
freight from the South Chicago mills
to western points was an important
feature of the transaction.
It is believed the cutting of prices
by the Illinois Steel company on the
twenty-thousand-ton lot was due to
the fact that the Steel corporation re-

The new train, according to rumor. is
to be inaugurated soon after that date.
But local trainmen are of the opfn-
