Confined to Shifting Orders
NEW Yonx, July 2l-lSpecsoLl-The Iron
Ago will tomorrow say: What new bust
ness there is In finished iron and steel is con-
fined to the shifting Of orders from idle
mills to works in operation and to dealers
who happen to carry stock. There has been
some canceling Of orders and some replac-
ing Of contracts, the latter occasionally at =
notable advance. Only very moderate ad-
vance has been made to regular customers,
