Good Report OF the Iron and steel Trade

Mr.. James NJ. Swsnk, Secretary Of the
American Iron and Steel Association, re-
turned yesterday from ten days tour
Though The interior and western portions
OF the state, and brings the most encourag.
ing reports regarding the present eondi-
ton and indications for the future OF the
iron and steel trade. "All the BeSsemer
and crucible steel mills" he said, "as far
west as the Missouri River, with single
exception in St. Louis, are in operation,
and Of the pig iron furnaces about two.
fifths are in full blast. There is no accu-
mutation even OF the common grades Of
iron, and all that is produced goes upon
the market. The demand Is now heavier
than it has been for long time, and while
the productiop Of pig iron is slightly in ex.
cess OF Last year, that Of steel OF all deScrip.
tons is considerably greater. The prices
OF iron at this time are very firm with an
advancing tendency, and the quotations
for BeSsemer steel show a fair improve
ment over last year. The country has
never before consumed as much American.
made iron and steel as at present, the de-
mand for the current quarter being far in
excess OF that OF the quarter before. M.
merous public works now in progress have
taken vast amounts Of stock, and the orders
from all quarters indicate largely in.
creased demand in the immediate future.
Producers are firm in the belief that the
opening Of tho fall trade will reveal much
brighter state OF affairs and that the i'm.
provement will be continuous and sub
stan tial."-Phil1dtlphid Pres, .AuglR q.
