particularly active the past week, and
prices are advanced as quotations will dis
close. There are reports of gray forge sales
at SIG per ton. There is strong uudertone
Of confidence among manufacturers and
dealers as to the future of markets. While
there is no boom and the feeling among
dealers is rather conservative, trade is
steadily improving. and standard brands are
hrm and active at quotations.
There is no disposition on the part OF furnace
men to contract for future delivery at present
prices. Foundry irons are steady at last weeks
prices. Muck bar is very firm, and prices are
8 shade stronger. Nails are in better demand
and, while there has been no advance in prices,
markets are much hrmer. and there is no
longer a disposition on the part of manufac-
turers to make concessions as there has been
for some time past Steel rails, bloom and
billets have also Joined in the upward move
ment. In general, the iron and steel outlook
is healthy. The situation is better than boom,
as demand is active and prices are slowly but
