CONDITION OF TRADE.

Fig-IrOn Market Is Overloaded, and
Prices Are Lower than Ever IcfOrc.
X. G. Dun Il Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
There is stronger demand for fin
ished products of iron and steel, while
pig-iron is overloaded and weaker, and
the Thomas Company has reduced its
price for No. l anthracite 81 to $50
per ton, which is believed to be the
lowest price ever recorded. Sales of
600 tons of steel rails have been
mad" by Eastern works. and the aE-
gregate for the half year has been Sc -
600. with 5t0, 900 tons actually delivered,
which corresponds with the de rcase
in railroad building. and the prospect
that the new mileage for the year will be
only about 1000. Bar iron is in heavy
demand and structural also. with an adj
vance of about 81 per ton. Textile mills
are all we'll employed for the season,
and better orders for WOODEN goods have
given impulse to purchases of wool hy
manufacturers. Boot and shoe shops
are busy and pressed for early deliver
les. and Eastern shipments are now the
largest ever known for the year thus
far. S27 900 cases, against l.733,t 90
last year and l, s2o, 0OO in 1899, hitherto
the maximum. Paraf1ine rubber is
lower at 6S cents, with works busy.
There are moderate sales of copper at
liz cents. Tin is inactive, but lead is
slightly advanced. The last advance
in coal has stopped business, but the
half years output was 1858, 900 tons,
against II. 1874, COO last year.
