INTERESTING AT CINCINNATI
Despite The Lowest Prices, Buyers Are
Weakened and Very Sby

CINCISNATI, April 15.--tSpeciaL l-Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: In spite of the apathy of
buyers. generally, the belief is gazing ground
that we are getting near the final bottom in
the prices OF pig iron. Some of the largest
buyers are endeavoring to secure options or
10 place contracts for long scattered de-
liveries. 1t is undeniable that all the
influences in the market have been
heauiEg in one direction. Manufactur-
ers, dealers, consumers, and even out
side buyers have all been bears-talking
over-production, under-consumption, Presi-
dental year. slack business and lower prices,
1t is no. surprising, therefore, that the de-
cline has been headlong. Now it seems to
occasionally dawn upon those interested
that all is not as black as painted. There
are those who even believe that consump-
tion is actually in excess OF production,
instead of the contrary, as is generally
conceded. We believe there is more pig
iron being melted in the United States to-
dav than is being produced. The accumu-
lated 20. 900 tons at the furnaces during
March We believe TO be more than out
weighed by the reductions of stocks in the
buvers' yards, that have been universal all
over the country. A return of the buying
spirit would quickly reverse this condition
without any increase in consumption or de-
crease of production.
1t is likely we shall 20 along for some
weeks yet, all taxing a despairing view o.
the situation. and that when a sudden and
unexpected change comes in the mood of
buyers and sellers, those who have been the
most hopeless bears will be the most nm
rea sonaDle bulls. This is the history of the
iron trade over and over again. Meanwhile.
production is being gradually curtailed. The
reduction of output will undoubtedly
reach 10000 tons per week, or half
a million tons q year, before May l. This is
not enough to effect any immediate or rad
ical change. but it may serve to slowly bring
about confidence and put the trade again
into normal conditions. One curious feat
ure of the present situation is that men who
usually pride themselves on shrewdness in
purchasing raw material cannot see in the
lowest prices any Inducements. Special
cuts made of job lots or by weakened or
furnaces serve to trighten away
buyers, rat ther than attract them.

A BIT BETTER AT BIRMINGHAM.

Some improvement, but Not Enough to Ell
feet Actual Prices Received.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April l5.-tSpeciotl- J.
There is some slight improvement in the To-
cal iron market and a general expectation
among operators that the price will stiffen
in the near future. This improvement, how
ever, does not extend to the prices being ac-
tually obtained. but is noticeable rather in
the tone of the market and the attitude OF
producers.
Offerings are made at the present prices
for only short time, and sales are small in
amounts. They are sufficient in volume,
however, to continue the gradual reduction
of all stocks which set in two weeks ago.
Prices still range from 50 to s1l 80, accord
ing to the disposition and needs OF the sew
eral furnace companies.
