IRON TRADE REVIEW.
No Radical Change to Be Noted in the
Local Situation, Which is
STILL In THE BUYERS FAVOR.
Southern Furnaces Are Being Rapidly
Hurried Into Blast.
u IN THE BUYERS FAVOR.
REPORTS FROM THE LEADING CEyTERS

No new features have been developed
during the week past The situation still
remains in buyers favor. The probability
of a shutdown in the coke regions, owing
TO the strike, has had the effect of slightly
strengthening prices of raw irons. AS the
mills are running in the main TO their full
capacity, it is evident that consumption is
large, but manufacturers are still following
the hand-to-mouth policy. There has been
8 slight improvement in the steel
rail situation. An order received at
the Edgar Thomson Works a few days
Of the expected shutdown from February to
February IL That the Edgar Thomson Com
pany anticipates a good year ahead is evident
from the fact that an expenditure of s20O,OO0 is
about to be incurred on enlarging and improv-
ing the rail mill. New projects in railroad
building are not so promising as year ago, for
the reason that money has been so tight. But
necessary repairs and additions to the roads al
ready in operation warrant the outlay at the
Braddock works, and justify the faith OF the
operators that there VIII be demand
for the entire product. The average
daily yield of steel rails at these works
i now close to l,500 tons, and with the addi-
tions and Improvements In progress will soon
pass this amount Structural iron and nails
are very quiet and the buyer has the field in
both lines Nails have never been as low in the
b oTv of the trade, and it Is difficult to see
how they can be made with profit.
