Valuable Find of Manuscrint.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery Of illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books: ranging as
far back as 1880, has just been made
In the library at OXton Hall. says the
Nottingham (Eng) Guardian.
1t came about I'm this way: The
vicar of the parish, Rev. w. Laycock,
obtained permission to go through the
books In the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused by a locked and forgotten
cupboard therein, which he proceeded
to investigate. It's contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
which confirmed the impression con.
veyed by the antiquity of their ap-
pearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage of the art Of print
Ing which was introduced into this
country in 1S47.
The majority of ther are folio vol.
umes, and with. one exception they are
all in their original bindings. The
covers are carefully planed boards OF
solid oak. and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments OF illum-
mated manuscripts of a much earlier
date, cut up rs waste with O ruthless
Indifference.

STEEL PRICES NOT LOWERED
TO OLD FIGURE
Public Protest, However, Says Expert,
Has Resulted in Some
Reduction.

New York May IA. Z. Findley, ed
itcr of the Iron Age and formerly editor
of the Iron Trade Review, explained
yesterday in the governments suit for
of the steel trust how the
prices of steel went up and down since
1898. Findley had prepared series OF
charts showing authentic prices"
He said that in 1898 the prices We're
put up by pools and remained up until
the organization of the steel corporation
in 1901. After the formation of the
steel corporation there was public pro-
test, and the prices were lowered, but
they never did get back to the mark OF
1898.
Mr.. Findley showed that wire nails
sold in December, 1898, at $3.50 ton;
in February, 1909, at S46. Similarly,
he said, steel beams sold in December,
1898, at $30.50 ton; in October, 1890,
at S53.75; in September, 1900, at S3675;
in January, 1902, at S3G75, and in Octo.
Der, 1902, at S46.50. Steel rails, he said
in November, 1898, were Sl6.50 ton;
in November, 1899, S35; in September,
1900. S26; in December, 1901, S2S, since
which date they have not varied
The price of steel rails, the govern
ment contends, was permanently fixed
lt $2S by agreement among manufactur-
ars at the time the steel corporation was
formed.
