The most careful summary of the
/ iron trade situation that is possible to
make at this writing seems to warrant
/ the inference that steady progress is
\ being made to the point or limit where

bable. The present market conditions
are not particularly encouraging. No
I great increase in production has been
made. Orders have not appeared. But
few big enterprises have been started.
Railroad corporations and other large
buyers are practicing every possible
economy. Stocks are low and prices
are practically at the last limit. Still

purchase beyond pressing needs. Only
the most urgent necessities are sup
piled. This conditions Of things cannot
continue NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mon-
