The Producers OF Southern Iron Are Whist

BIRMINGHAM Ala Jan. l5.-[SpeciGL 1.-The
New Year is two weeks Old and still there is
no sign of revival of the iron trade. Opera
tors are adhering to the policy Of selling
their product at whatever price is necessary
to move it 10 market, and there are reports
of recent sales at lower figures than ever
before recorded. 1t would seem that the
enforcement Of economy in production
has not vet reached the eXtrem-
est test All but two or three OF
the furnaces are in full operation, and not
withstanding the strain of low prices. all
report that they begin the new year IN bet
ter financial shape than the old, and are
prepared TO stand even the further reduc-
tion that they reIard as not impossible
pending the Presidential election.
While the situation is not strong or even
hopeful, il is regarded as safe. Every lndi-
cation points TO continued large output in
this district. though there are no movements
apparently on foot toward starting up FUR
naces now idle and less favorably situated
in other portions of the State.

some time past, and private messages were

dition that the heavy offerings could not be
absorbed without a sharp break in values
Most of the long wheat taken on yesterday,
when the market exhibited much strength,

The start was made at a decline of &c

Hog products inclined to strength at the

wheat caused sympathetic weakness in the

CnICAGo, Jan. Especial l-Rogers, Brown
& Merwin say: "The past week has shown
continuation of the conditions last reported,
n good amount of business still going on,
this being for the most part for coke brands,
charcoal being in little demand. Prices re-
main unchanged. Large consumers who
have been carefully watching the situation,
take the position that on account Of the
continued accumulation of stocks there is
no probability of any change during the
next two or three months. On the other
hand, consumption is going forward heav-
i!y, and the outlook promises very heavy
melting OF iron during the wear. While n
general advance OF prices is not imminent, a
decided stiffening may come at any time.

Heavy Orders at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. Il. -[SpecidLl - Rogers,
Brown & Mcacham say: There seems to be a
general inquiry into the market on part of
the consumers, who have been waiting until
after the turn of the year, believing that
should a change in the condition of prices
take place, it would have been about this
time, but as there is no indication Of iron
selling for lower prices and many things to
influence an upward tendency, some heavy
orders have been placed recently. During
the past two weeks a number of large
Southern furnaces have blown out for re-
pairs and stocks on hand are either very
low at these furnaces, or sold for early and
forward delivery. This will heavily diminish
production and affect the market more or
less. It is reported that one OF the largest
Southern companies operating many stacks
is sold upon foundry grades.

The larger concerns here report having
made fresh sales equaling probably ll5 OGO

Prices are shade lower. The export ship
