A Reaction From the Period of Depression

A Reaction From the Period of Depression
in the Southern Field.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. l6-A slight re-
action in the iron trade has set in this week kand
the outlook for the future is much brighter.
There has been no advance in prices, but the
demand for iron is increasing every day. While
No. l foundry iron is still quoted at Sl2 it can
be bought even in small lots at Sll 80. A few
sales at still lower figures have been reported.
but with the small stocks on hand it cannot be
bought any cheaper now. The stock of iron on
hand in this district is now lower than it has
been before in several years, but most of the
furnaces out of blast will start up again as soon
as they can obtain a supply of coke.
While no contracts TOR future delivery are
being made. small orders are coming in right
along and the furnaces in blast are selling their
entire output A large number of small lots
have recently been sold to Ohio aud Pennsyl-
vania mills, and If the present low prices con-
tlnue the orders from that section will increase
The coal miners strike suddenly collapsed
Monday, and most of the strikers have gone
back to work at the old price. The Bessemer
coke ovens have started up again, and others
will follow as soon as they can get a supply of
coal. The Is idle furnaces will all be in blast
labor troubles should be renewed which is not
probable. President Seddon, of the Sloss Iron
and Steel Company laid yesterday thar he con-
sidered the outlook for The future very bright.
he said consumers had no stock on hand, and
as soon money eased up a little more they
would begin to buy freely again, and iron would
90 up at once.

cHIcAGO-The wheat market was again
weak: not Immediately at the opening. but with
in minute or so thereafter. As soon as the
trading was fairly under way, the selling pres
sure once more began to have its natural effect,
and the most prominent operator on the decline
and it favor Of it was Pardridge. st. Louis
also crowded the wire with bear dispatches and
selling orders. and even some of those who have
been firm adherents to the short crop theory
were to-day expressing themselves as doubtful
OF the reliability of the Government estimates,
on which they have been previously relying to
prove the scarcity upon which they formerly
based their purchases of wheat. There were
still many left. however. who pinned their faith
to the Government figures on the ground that.
however much they had been criticised In
former years they have always been found to
be subsequently correct.
The price of May wheat was started at 961S,
or the same price as it closed yesterday alter
noon. but soon weakened ana declined &c.
After short period of hesitation as to its fur
ther course it declined to 95c with very trifiing
reaction on the decline. There was a recovery
to 9o1ss from the lowest figures, and upon the
report that the Westinghouse financial troubles
had eliminated in their failure there was
another break TO Csc, and this was once, more
followed by reaction to 955sc.
The corn market was weak and made . fur
ther decline of Nc Trading was fairly active,
but was local in character and most OF it was
confined to scaiping against privileges.
Oats developed additional weakness on the
strength of heavy receipts. light shipments and
the slump in other markets. Trade was fairly
active. Hutchinson led the buying and Tuttle
the selling, which was mostly scattering.
There was fair amount of activity in the
provision circle, and at the start the compare
lively moderate receipts of hogs. together with
an improvement of from to l0c In the price as
reported from the stock yards early in the day

FrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcBa
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 16.-The iron market
begins to show visible signs of improve
ment Since the banking cd of so many fur.
naces consumers have become convinced that
bottom prices have at last been reached, and
that nothing is to be gained by further waiting.
Consequently. large orders have been placed,
and in most cases without concessions from
the prices quoted for the past couple
OF weeks. There is at presens an
active demand for small lots, and all classes of
consumers are beginning to require material
Present indications point to further improve
nent, vet no one looks for an immediate rise
IN prices. A great many of the more urgent
sellers have already made heavy sales, and the
fact is plainly apparent that there are not so
many bargains waiting to be picked up as was
the case ore week ago.
Pig iron shows good prospect for an active
and improving market. The prices are as fol-
lows: Standard PennsylvanIa, No. IA, sI7 5O@

Holders want s27 50d2S delivered, hut BUYERS
are hard to find at anything over S27. Small
lots have been taken at 81 25. Bar iron is
in fairly active demand for small lots. yet
many mills find it difficult to get work enough
TO run a single turn. Competition is very keen
and as consequence prices are irregular and
nnsetued. some quote l.SOGLgOc for best re-
fined, and Others are glad to get l.S0c for car
loaa lotS. or even larger orders. Skelp iron is a
little more active. although for the present only
small lots are being taken. Sales of about
lOOO tons grooved are reported at prices rang
ing from L621Ic to l.s71Sc. Plates are rather
weaker on account of increased offerings The
ordinary asking prices for lots delivered in
consumers yards are about follows: For
iron ship and tank plates, 202 16c, and bridge
plates, 2O092. l5c; steel ship and tank plates,
2l5G22 Zoe, and bridge plates. 22O@230
Structural material is in moderate inquiry
with very hopeful feeling. Prices are about
as follows for lots delivered in consumers
hands: Angles and sheared plates, 21O@2 20c,
and from lOg2Oc more for steel; tees, 25@z6c:
beams and channels, Sic for either iron or.steel.

The matter was referred to the Commit.
tee on Prisons. There is no direct charge of
