as government ownership of railroads. A sale
OF 81,000,0OO pounds OF canned goods was
made a few days ago to a Philadelphia firm

worth on the market 20 cents a pound No

Steel prices all along the line have taken an
other drop but wages have dropped along with
them This action has been looked for and the ques
ton Is have prices got down to the point where
the consumer is willing TO buy3 1t Is to be hoped
that they have, for steel plants are running well
below the SO per cent mark and have been for
months. Some day there is going to be an awful
rush to get steel At about the game time there very
likely will be atush to Coal, which is now bens
produced at from four to five million tons per wee
less than normal output II these two rushes do
come at the same time the railroads are simply
going to roll over and play dead.
