A LITTLE MIXED.
Spot Material Scarce In All Sections OF the
fouUfrv-

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-ISpecidL 1.-The Iron
Age will say: The situation in the iron and
steel trade thrnughout the country is in a
somewhat mixed condition. With every in
dividual concern influenced by its own set
of conditions, one fact comes out clearly,
and that is that it will take a longer time
than was generally expected to cover de-
layed requirements of consumers, and to
fill up to normal amount the depleted
stocks OF jobbers, mills and consumers.
Spot material is still scarce in nearly all
parts OF the country, and much better prices
are obtained Tor it than for future delivery.
There has been little more activity in ore
in Cleveland where GoZebic nom Bessemer
ore has sold down to 81 40
In pig iron there are indications OF an i'm
provement in Philadelphia, but Chicago
and Cincinnati continue to reflect the
heavy pressure upon the market of large
stocks. Soft steel billets are
still scarce for immediate delivery and as
yet little has been done for future delivery,
the best price offered being s22 IS at Pitts
burg. Steel rails remain iieless. The esti-
mate recently made that the mills had on
August about l75, 600 tons of orders on hand,
proves to have been correct. In finished
Iron and steel, notably in plates and struct-
ural material, the market is very active, par
ticularly in the West.
