on the way to the bow vows. Consumption
of crude iron has fallen off in some direc-
tlons, notably in pudding. but it has in
creased in Others Everything tends to show
that If the country should decide that it was
time to go forward in new enterprises with
the customary freedom and courage the ac-
cumulated stock of iron should not long re-
main to plague the holders.
A marked feature of the situation already
alluded to is the reduction i'll the amount OF
pudding. Mills find that soft steel can be
had by rolling into nearly all finished forms
and at lower cost than muck bar. The re-
suit is hundreds of idle pudding furnaces.
The condition is likely to remain until steel
advances or the cost of pudding is re-
duced. Another feature OF note Is the
stronger feeling that obtains among
manufacturers of Lake Superior char
coal iron. They find that while
stocks are little higher than the average,
the rate of production is not up to the aver.
age of the past three years and hardly any
greater than it was at that time, when
Consumption was less. Besides this, many OF
the furnaces now producing cannot continue
without an advance is established as they
admittedly cannot get back cost. 1t seems
idle therefore to go on cutting prices except
on the policy that some of che stronger con-
Germs favor of Kidding the biz of some weak
makers whose necessities make prices for
others to meet. Money continues very easy
and collections are good.

LARGE STOCKS AT BIRMINGHAM
Tho Only Feature of Note in the Market
at the Present Time

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 29.-[SpeciaL i
The only change to be reported in the situ-
alton of the iron market is that stocks are
again accommodating and are now unprece-
dentediy large. This accumulation is in
both the warrant yards and the private
yards OF the furnaces. The tone of the mar
ket is exceedingly weak and prices continue
10 range between 50 90 and Sll So Pro-
duction is heavy and furnace companies are
preferring to store their output rather than
come much below the current rates. There
Is no indication of disposition to shut
down. The consolidation of the larger COM
panies is proceeding lavorably toward an
accomplished fact. 1t has been virtually
settled that the Cahoba Coal Compa1y will
come into the Tennessee and De Bardeleben
combination, and negotiations are still in
progress with the Pioneer Comnanv- of the
Thomases, and with the Woodwards
The leading stockholders of the Tennessee
company have publicly stated with great
positivenoss that it has been privately
agreed that that company shall undertake
the building of not only one steel plant but>
two, and that each is to haye rail mill at
tachment. The directors and stockholders
meet at Tracey City on May TO- when it is ex
pected that definite arrangements will be
made to that enc. The plan now in view il
TO issue steel mill bonds, indorsed by the
Tennessee company.

CHICAGO CONDITIONS UNCHANGED.
The Bottom Has Been Found, Though, and
That's Encouraging.

That's Encouraging.
CHICAGO April %. - [Specfal1 - Rogers,
Brown & Merwin say: Conditions remain
practically unchanged since last week. In
quiries are still numerous, many of these
being for large lots. There has been no
change in price, and there seems to be as
much anxiety for business as though fur
naces both North and South were making
large profits One thing is noticeable that
here and there furnaces are now found with
a limit to price below which they refuse
to go. This is an encouraging symptom. 1t
is probable this is one of the indications
that the bottom has been nearly or quite
reached. Consumers are unwilling to ac-
cept this doctrine, however, maintaining
the position that stocks at the furnaces are
so heavy that prices will go 20 cents to 81
per ton below the present basis before any
change comes.
During the week there have been some
large inquiries for, Lake Superior charcoal,
made by buyers who expected to see prices
actually touch SIG at Chicago. This condi-
tion has not come about, however, and, on
the other hand, the best furnaces are now
holding from SIC IS to Sl7. aud are refusing
everything in the way of business which
offers below this. 1t is fact that the-mar-
ket situation on this class of metal is better
than has been the ase in O long time, though
this is not generally recognized. The num-
Der of furnaces in blast is smaller than
year ago, stocks are almost identical with
the same period last year, while cOnSump-
is far greater and on the increase.

ST. LOUIS, April s9. [SpeciaL1 - Rogers,
Brown & Meacham say: The market pre-
sents no new feature this week. Buyers are
not numerous, even for small orders, there
being general disposition to hold Off even
at prices so tempting. The very fact that
nearly all sellers are offering irons at about
the same prices, deliveries and terms to suit,
gives the impression that there is no risk In
delaying purchases. We must not overlook
the TACT, however, that, although iron can
be bought Tor less money than ever before.
there seems 10 be no disposition on the part
OF sellers to make any further concessions.

VERY BLUE AT CINCINNATI

Bad as 1t Might Be.

CINCINNATI, April 29.-[SpeciaL ]-Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: There is nothing encour-
.ging TO note in the iron market. Reports
from all quarters tell of slow buying, doubt,
discouragemer~ and suspicion. The habit of
complaint seems to be firmly settled upon
all parties, as is customary in times of de-
preston. At the same time, when partic-
uiars are inquired into, it is found that there
Is not much TO complain OF. The volume of

Bears.
CHICAGO-There was no decided move
ment In either direction in prices to-day, and
the close shows but little change in values.
In most cases, however. prices are slightly
higher, and April corn shows an advance OF
Nc, while the more deferred futures are up
only 1s@1zc. This disparity in April IS in
sympathy with the advance in that option
in New York, where there seems to be an
April corner, the price having advanced
there leo-from 5lc to CSC. This movement
seems to have grown out of the poor grading
of receipts, which has made the stocks OF
contract corn very light.
There was considerable bull news to-day,
and the bears also had some encouragement
and between the two 1t was rather hest
tating market but with tendency tn firm
ness. The Liverpool cables were n shade
weaker, and while 1t was still cold in the
Northwest the rain has ceased and farm
work was being pushed vigorously. Killing
black frosts, however, were reported from
Kansas, where wheat has progressed to the
point of showing the first joint. On the
other hand were the enormous export en-

was, however, rather slack, and the first
sales were at rather better prices, but soon
eased off, A firmer tone followed the re-
port of liberal clearances, and the decline
was recovered, with some more. There was
pressure to sell May early, but it gradually
receded. At one time July was nearly 70

May opened Nc higher at s01lc: weakened to

Corn opened Nc lower for May at 40Ac,

Oats quiet and steady, closing higher.
Hog products opened lowe Ell, especially for
