IRON TRADE REVIEW.
Transactions Are Light, but There is
aLittle Shading of Prices.
A CHANGE NOW MUST BE UPWARD
The Market for the Manufactured Product
Continues Strong.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING CENTERS

The iron and steel markets are practically
the same as they were a week ago. Trans
actions have been light, but only those fur
nacemen whose necessity compels them to
DO so, are ready to make concessions. One
of our leading iron brokers thus puts the
situation: STANDARD brands of mill iron
are still selling at SIS 25. L sold to one
party within few days 200 tons at this
figure and was ready to duplicate bis order
at the same price. Southern mill irons and
other outside brands have been selling this
week as low as SIS, but 1 have sold none as
low as that" Bessemer iron is quiet, but
there is strong undertone of confidence in
the future of markets. Prices are down
10 bedrock and any future changes
must be toward higher level.
The furnaceman's profit is almost wiped out
unless he is very favorably located. Said
one OF our leading iron brokers: Chances
are that the average producer of raw iron is
losing money at present prices. The ad-
vance in coke and ore the past year has sent
the native cost of iron up from 81 so to So
per ton above the cost of a year ago. The
lowest point which mill iron reached last
year was a shade below S14. The same
grade brings SIS 25 to-day. and, in view of
the additional cost of 50 so per ton in raw
materials, it is plain that the furnscensn is
not IN as good position as ne was year
ago. Future changes must inevitably be
upward or furnacemen will be forced to re-
tire from the field:
The market for manufactured iron con-
tinues strong, with prices unchanged.
Blooms and billets are weaker, and our
quotations are reduced in accordance with
the facts. Wire rods are weak and lower,
as quotations will disclose. Structural iron
has lost somewhat Of its strength the past
week, but prices are unchanged. Steel rails
are il fair demand with prices the same as
at last report. Nails are active at last
weeks prices.

Unusually Henvy Shipments OF Pig Iron just
Now 10 Western Markets.
.sPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.,
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, September 26-Tbe
feature Of the iron business in this district just
now is heavy shipments of pir to Western
markets. Coal and cotton transportation will
soon require all the rolling stock of the rail-
roads and the iron men have been invoicing
their stock while they could get cars. Furnace
men had good many orders on hand for Sep
tember delivery and for a week the bulk of the
freight out of this city has been pig iron. A
number of large shipments have been made to
Louisville, Cincinnati. St Louis and other
Western markets. All the large orders on hand
for immediate delivery will have been filed by
October i, when the rush of cotton and coal
will require all available cars.
In prices there has been no change. but the
condition of business is very satisfactory. Con-
sumers are buying freely for their immediate
needs, and enough orders are coming to keep
all the furnaces going and to prevent any large
accumulation of stock. Leading iron men say
they DO not anticipate much advance in price
soon, but they are confident of continued good
trade. The volume of business In this district
is fully Is per cent greater than at this time
last year.
The De Bsrdeleben Company are now push
ing the repair work on their two Oxmoor fur
naces and will have them in blast again by
October 10 or sooner. All six of this company's
furnaces will then be in blast.

tinues, many concerns being obliged to decline
further business on account of inability to COM
plete within periods specified. The amount Of
iron now being melted is heavier than at any
previous time and indications all point to a
continuance of activity in this direction. Lake
Superior charcoals and Northern coke irons
continue inactive and few sales OF any moment
are being made. Southern coke irons are
relatively weaker than other classes, but there
is a strong disposition on the part of certain
furnaces winch have been cutting prices to
now withdraw from the market for anything in
the way of early deliveries, as heavy orders
booked will take their product for several
months.

tsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
CINCINNATI, September 26.-Rogers Brown
& Co. say: The stringency in money has exer-
clsed Its influence on the market IN spots since
our last report. Some lots of iron have been
pressed for sale for immediate delivery. and
cash and prices realized were about 25 cents
per ton under the understood minimum of the
market. Aside from this furnaces have held
firmly. and at the close of the week large trans
actions took place at regular prices. The
largest Southern firm has sold this month
more than twice the product of its furnace and
report that they will have all they can DO ba
tween now and Christmas to fill their orders.
stocks of iron are smaller and ores and coke
scarce and dearer in the South. In the Ma
honing Valley good deal of iron is being car
rled because its high cost will not admit of SELL
ing on the present market An attempt is
being made to get reduction on Connellsville
coke, but so far without success. All the roll
ing mills and foundries continue as busy as
ever and see no sign ahead as yet of slacken-
ing in demand.
