The manufacturers offered II id per ton nil a one cent card rate for tudltng and the differences were tn about the same proportion as In other lines President Schaefer and Commissioner Nutt Jointly gave out the following state ment to-day: The rate for boiling is ft 75 per ton h**- i I upon a one-rent card, with the same ! isls running up to one and two-tenth, for the rard rate, or 11.2 h. But the price for ladling for September and O. toiler shall be $5 per ton. based on a card rate of one and one and four-tenths cents. Muck rolling shall be one-seventh of the price paid for boiling. "Bushellng on sand bottom shall he 12 08 on a one-cent card rate with the aamc hate running up to one and two-tenths, ird rate.” The following scale was fitted for the hnlshlng mills: On bar mills Ihe price to be paid Is ths ■me as last year, with a card rate of 1 4-10 cents, graded down to a 1-cent car t On guide (10-Inch and hoop mtHsi -he base and rates apply as they do on the .ir and the 12-Inch mills.
