The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews
resume az the week in iron circles:
General Features The present lull in
the iron business, now apparently near
It's closc, serves To- emphasize striking
difference between the conditions exis-
ting here and ON the other side of the
ocean. That specnIation has run riot IN
the British markets and has been
followed hv n dis astrous decline, while in
this country. There has been AN almost
entire absence Of speculation, both the
rise and the fall being gradual, as rule,
argues much for the increasing caution
az American iron manufacturers. While
production has been excessive consump-
ton has still COZ tinucd heavy, 80 that
we have escaped. in great measure, the
direln results see n abroad. AZ Louis
Vile, there has be - very heavy buying

large and small G onsumcfs. Iron has
been sold freely for delivery throughout

The exploratory work on the west
side of Iron river, southwest OF the
Stambaugh depot, has been abandoned,
the ore being in too narrow VEINS TO be
