The returns Of the blast furnaces in aud
out of blast in Great Britain on October LIST,
show the total number at work to be $50,
and the number idle 347, thus making the
number of furnaces in existence In tuc
United Kingdom 9l6. Many furnaces that
are being repaired will probably be started
in short time. Negotiations are said to
be 10 progress in different districts for the
starting OF furnaces which have been stand.
ing for years. The Cleveland iron masters
have agreed to restrict their production
until the end of the year, in the face OF
enormous shipments and rapidly increasing
stocks. This decision is calculated to give
an artificial value to pig iron, and may
lead to the restarting OF furnaces in other
districts which would otherwise have re-
manned idle. and the result Of this will
probably bring increased competition, and
perhaps q reaction toward low and I'M
profitable prices.-Iron Age.
