r. g. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
Of Trade says
A great boom in iron abroad with a
speculative excitement rarely wit
messed and rapid fluctuations in prices
causes some apprehension, because
experience teaches that such rapid
and excited movements are usually fol-
lowed by ugly reactions. The un-
paralleled production in this country
still continues and other furnaces Of
large production are about to go into
operation, and yet prices are firm at
Philadelphia, though warrants have
been quoted a little lower here, the
demand for manufactured forms con-
t~inuiHg large at full prices. 1t would
be a wonder indeed, il with light rail.
road building and reduced demand for
rails, this country should continue to
consume the enormous quantity OF
iron now being made, but this is a
country OF wonders. Fer structural
forms at least, the recent fires and
floods which have swept away many
bridges, will cause some increased de-
mand.
