new vegetables from the South are liberal
and prices are steadily drifting to lower
level. Florida oranges are fast approaching
the END of their career for this season.
Messinas are still in good supply. Receipts
of bananas were much lighter this week
than last and demand is good. Malaga
grapes are no longer in demand, and prices

STILL QUIET AT CINCINNATI
Another Week OF Melting by Foundries
but No Buying at All.

Another Week OF Melting by Foundries
but No Buying at All.
CINCINNATI, April s-ISpecial l-Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: Another quiet week has
passed. Foundries and mills are melting
but not buying. The lower the prices and
the longer the deliveries offered, the greater
is the hesitation to take hold. few buyers,
appreciating that the best time to get con-
cessions is when dullness and no activity
prevail, are making arrangements as far
ahead as possible. There is not much
change in the furnace situation, North or
South. Northern furnaces have ore con-
tracts to work up, and Southern stacks be-
lievc they can fight it through. 1t Is worthy
of note, however. that in the North very lew
companies are making any engagements for
orc after opening of navigation. The wait
ing mood prevails, and If the market does
not show signs OF recovery, it is safe to say
very little ore will be bought. A good deal
of misapprehension exists as the result of
press dispatches from the South late i'll
March that a reduction of so cents per ton
had been made by the Southern railroads on
pig iron 60 northern points. Nothing OF
the kind has been done. There is no reduc-
tion to Ohio river points. On through rates
to leading markets, like Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland, etc, the reduction is 10 cents per
ton. On few small interior points, the re-
Pittsburg. Wheeling and like points there is
no reduction
Leading Southern iron masters claim that
in spite OF slack demand and large output,
stocks Of coke iron in Alabama are not in
creasing, but are actually decreasing. The
largest company reduced stocks oGcO tons
during March, and had over l90, ce0 tons of
untitled orders April l. Another company
had GO. 600 tons of orders on its books. Makers
believe that the current production OF
Southern coke iron is rot Eiuch in excess of
even the present reduced consumption, and
that this will be plainly shown whenever
little improvement comes in general bust
ness.
A feature OF the situation is the credulity
of buyers as to low offerings. Anything
told in that direction is believed, no matter
how unreasonable or impossible. In like
manner there is common incredulity that
better can ever come out of the iron
market. 1t has beer noted that, in the past,
have usually come just about the
time that all hands have settled down to
in the situation. The weeks
have been very heavy-probably
near the maximum-and sales have aggre-
gated Is. 600 to 1000 tons in the Cincinnati
market

The market started out at slow pace yes-

NO CHANGE AT CHICAGO.
Although Production Is Curtailed, 1t Is
Still Far Beyond Demands.

CHICAGO, April s.-tSpeciot l-Rogers. Brown
& Merwin say: The conditions in this mar
ket are practically unchanged. There is a
large amount of Offering of coke metal of
all kinds. Very low prices still rule. While
this is the case, there seems to be less dis
position on the part of many furnaces to
make sacrifices than has been the case dur
ing the past month or SO. Apparently the
bottom has been touched, yet the overpro-
duction Is still SO heavy that it may he a
lower basis will yet have to be reached be-
fore production is heavily curtailed by blow
ing out of companies now operating at 4
loss.
In the Lake Superior charcoal market in
quiries are beginning to come in, but with
here and there AN exception, thero is less
inclination on the part of furnaces to cut
Sl7 Chicago than buyers havo expected.
Charcoal interests are in better condition

Business Fairly Active at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, April s.-TSpeciaL l-Rogers,
Brown & Meacham say: The market con-
tinues about the same as last reported.
Southern furnaces are refusing to make fur
ther concessions, preferring to let stocks ac-
cumuste rather than offer their iron at q
sacrifice. Business is fairly active, although
n wide difference is shown by buyers in
Some hold that iron has reached bottom

will be made. The condition is certainly
