basis of the New York Central contract is
also near adjustment, an extra being
asked by the mills for meeting the ductil-
hearth rails. The Great Northern has
bought $500 tons Of open hearth rails, and
an Eastern coal road with Western connec-
tions has bought 1900 tons An inquiry Tor
% 900 tons for a Western line and one for
$500 tons Tor a Southern road are pending.
