Iron and Steel.
| PITTSBURG, Pa. May 1.-THE American
Manufacturer will say tomorrow: The
| closest scrutiny would fail to find anything
| like a new feature in the iron and steel
| trade during the past week. In al the varl-
| Gus lines. conditions remain about as they
were at last report, so far as the volume OF
| trade Is concerned, and prices show nothing
| kept up in about all braches Of the market,
| and there are few signs that anything con-
| elusive will be reached in the near future.
| The Bessemer steel arrangement still occu-
| pies a large share of attention on the mar
ket and. although there is every indica-
| tons that It will be made fully effective.
purchasers OF steel are loath to accept the
new prices. The demand in all lines does
| not seem to be improving to any great ex-
l tent. one D3Q feature OF the SITUATION Is
the amount of mill capacity now idle. Some
| Of the leading plants in the district are cur
failing operations and temporarily closing
Client work to keep them employed.
