New YoRK, July 2l.-BrddStreetS' says:
Midsummer activity in iron and steel is
maintaining, in all except few in
stances, strong prices, especially for dc
liyeries during the next sixty days.
Most consumers are Indifferent about
contracting, at present strong prices, for
delivery after that date. Buyers are
affected to believe that the stronger
prices will increase the crude iron out
put for the fall somewhere near whatit
was twelve months ago.
In Eastern markets furnace men in
some instances are quoting outside tig-
ures. The general demand is good, and
stocks are low.
Western markets are fairly active.
Buyers furnishing agricultural imple-
ments and supplies are purchasing. The
heavy demand for plate and tank, as well
as structural iron and steel, continues q
feature. Tubes, pipes, sheet iron and
most forms OF merchant steel are also In
active demand. Nail makers In the
west are pleased at the nominal advance
In steel nails. Wire nails are weaker In
the west.
In Western Pennsylvania the active
summer consumption has been reflected
In stronger prices, though 1t can hardly
be said an advance has been made. A
meeting Of the western nail inanuiac-
tuters takes place next Wednesday at
