The BuckhnIn.

The Deep Creek country continues to at
tract attention. Sam Gilson's latest ship
ment from Dugway, consisted of nine
tons. The samples were in the hands of
the assayer yesterday, but the results had
not been announced late last evening. An
effort should be made to have ellison incor-
porate the Buckhorn and list il on the
mining exchange. The stock would soon
be in big demand.

STOCKS BEING REDUCED.
Negotiations at Cincinnati Are Mostly for
Long-Running Deliveries


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcHI
CINCINNATI May L-Rogers. Brown 4 Co.
say: There is nothing of Importance to chron-
icle. Reports have been current OF some low
priced sales. the object Of which was to realize
on iron for immediate delivery. This does not
imply any increase of stocks, for all indications
point TO continued reduction of stocks on hand.
The large negotiations have been either of this
nature or for long-running deliveries. Some of
the large consumers in the West have been try
ing to engage their supplies of iron 10 the end
of the year, OF later at current figures. In
charcoal irons they have been successful. but
in coke irons have not. Leading furnaces are
taking orders for deliveries running through
the summer at full cHrrent prices. Some buy
ers have withheld their orders for summer re-
quirements, believing that furnaces will have
to sacrifice iron in June and July, to meet in
terest demands This might be true If South
ern furnaces were accumulating stocks, but
the contrary is the case.
In the field of consumption reports are
mixed. Pipe works are unusually dull and
consumption at a minimum. Car works have
been running very light, but in some cases at
least have now pretty well filled up with orders
until fall. Rolling mills are very slack, but
picking up some. Stove and radiator foun-
dries are running pretty full. Jobbing and
machine foundries are complaining. All seem
to expect more work later in the season. In
money circles the situation grows easier.
There is ne difficulty in securing what is need
ed for legitimate purposes and at low rates
The accumulation of funds at the Gen.
ters has led to a little speculative spirit
in iron as well as other commodities.
Some sales Of this character
have been made the past week to parties who
think prices will GO higher. There is more
activity in malleable and car wheel brands. In
the malleable line. some of the large consumers
have thought it wise to anticipate the usual
time of buying. and have placed contracts in
April that are usually placed in June and July.
Hinkle, which is now the leader in most malle-
able mixtures East and West, has booked few
such contracts. The trade has derived some
encouragement from Improvement in Bessemer
iron in Pittsburg. A clear advance of 81 per
ton is established The coke strike, while stub
born and protracted, is recognized as practic-
ally broken, and there is talk of resumption of
blast by valley furnaces. We make no change
in last weeks quotations

MODERATE ACTIVITY.
Local Coke Irons Being Pushed to the Front
at Chicago.

at Chicago.
SPECIAL TKLKeRAM TO THE DIsrArcHi
CHICAGO. May L-Rogers, Brown Merwin
say: The past week has shown a moderate
amount of activity on this market in the way of
local coke irons. These are being steadily
pushed by companies manufacturing such
metal, and at prices SO low, both for early and
long-scattered deliveries. that the amount of
Southern coke foundry irons coming into this
market is being reduced to minimum. North
ern furnaces, on account Of their location,
being able to make prices, which are out of the
question for companies located In the Alabama
district. Southern coke brands remain in COM
parative small demand. The week has shown
considerable inquiry from large buyers for both
charcoal and coke irons, demonstrating that
leading consumers are disposed to anticipate
their usual time of purchase.
On account of low figures now going on
in Lake Superior charcoals there is less crowd.
ing of iron at the low figures which have
of late prevailed. There has, however, been
no real change in the charcoal situation. A
number of leading furnaces continue to hold
at figures much above those lately made by
certain companies, while the other hand
certain brands can be bought at low figures,
provided buyers will consent to quick deliver
les. 1t is certain that this condition of things
cannot last long, and as soon as the few low
priced sellers have sold up, better figures are
sure to prevail.
