BIG STEEL BUYERS

10 be advanced in price may have
stimulated the demand for the stand
ard and heavy sections for delivery in
1917.
It will be recalled that there has
been no change in the base price OF
rails since 1902, and to-day they are
at a lower level than any other rolled
steel product.
Orders for 10000 tons were taken
by the rail mills. including 10000 tons
Tor the Southern Pacific: $4,000 tons
for Louisville and Nashville 10000
for the Chicago and Great Western,
5000 for the Kansas City Southern,
5000 additional for the Southern,
1000 for an Eastern road, and the
balance made up of number of mis-
