Pittsburg, Pa, July 5: The Carne-
eie Steel company has opened the steel
cotton tie market for the season or
1914 and announced its price. TINS
nrice is Go cents per bundle, July basis
This forestalls competition from Eng
lish and Belgian manufacturers. Last
wear the proce was soc per bundle. Ihe
highest quotation made on cotton ties
in the past dozen years was in lSOL De
ing 50 cents per bundle. Since each
bundle contains 40 pounds OF steel ties,
the 1914 base price of So cents is at the
rate of LA per pound. The tonnage OF
steel involved in the seasons output Oh
cotton ties depends, of course, upon the
size of the crop. Last years crop eStl-
mate in the early spring was hfteen
million bales, which would require
about $4,000 tons of ties, of which II
was estimated about $4,000 tons would
be rolled in this territory. An estimate
has not been made as yet as TO the
probable tonnage of ties required TINS
wear, but the suggestion is made 1t may
come up to the average.
