| There is no difference whatsoever between
prices of Common English Bar and Rails. ??? English Connlar will show
Refined Bars would cost duty suchanlast about Six ($6) Dollars per Ton
of 2240 lbs ??? I know of ??? ask of Rails is 1862. more could now be
???. The pay ??? from Napan at present Exchange being some thousand
Dollars per Ton forbids easy operations. The only way in my opinion
that an apparnpsanden of orders of Rails can be attained is by taking
price of best Bar Iron although I am confident any work in this
country would rather make Bars than Rails at present time. |
