From the Chicago district comes the report of 100.900 tens of rails closed for next year. and of 100.000 tons-additlenal pending. A Southern Railway contract for 75.000 tons of basic rails Is also announced, fol lowing a reCOBt. order from., the Louisville Nashville fer 50,000 tons, these two solng far toward taking up the rail capacity of tke'Ensley mill. The week has .brought the price of light rafts closer to the standard seetlen basis, -and with -rerolled rails en the present level, the competition of rerolllng mills is less in evidence. All the developments of the week show further strengthening of the situation at time ordinarily marked by hesitation. The purchase of 25.000 tons of bossemer pig by the steel corporation for -December delivery at $15.50 at furnace developed the fact that on one day of the past, week the corpora' Men's pigiren stocks were but 12.000 tons.

Detectives are searching Canada for a man who. under many aliases, had swindled two big New York and Boston bond-dealing business houses out of securities running into thousands of dollars. Both firms have Boston offices. A year ago last September the man opened an office for the sale of real es tate at Lynn, Mass. He carried on an insurance business and appeared to be prosperous. Soon afterward he called on the bond brokers and purchased gilt edged bonds costing more than $30,000. Certificated checks were tendered in pay ment, and after the buyer disappeared it was found that the certification of tho checks was a forgery. The office in Lynn was closed, meanwhile, and no trace of tho pseudo real estate broker could be found. 80 clovorly was the swindle perpetrated that the police in the larger cities were notified. A month passed, and then tho suspect- appeared in Birmingham, Ala. There he was looking over sites to start a cottonseed oil mill, and soon bscame a member of the Commercial Club of that city. He obtained about $3000 on some of the .s.tolan bonds from a Birmingham bank, 'and than .wasnext heard pf lp New Xork City. He rented an office and 'tried to sell S-&CO Ghamber of- Commerce t?3C" bondn . almost vriUUn a stone's ttrov; of the firms' he. Kfed robbed". Detctives were close upon the. trail, but ho lted just before they arrived, ;md is mm reported to be in Canada. Some of the bonds placod with brokers here for sale are .understood to have been recovered. Goes'!! Insane, and Wounds Two Men. EL. PASO. Tex.. Dec. 15.
