The improvement in the iron industry
has not only continued, but becomes
more impressive because, after enor-
muus buying of materials has satisfied
the needs of great consumers for months
to come, the demand for products is 50
great that both materials and products
gradually advance in price. Bessemer
pig has risen to $40 55 at Pittsburgh,
local coke at Chicago and anthracite
foundry at the east are strong and also
bars ana plates advance shade, with
most structural and plate mills filled
with orders for months to come and 25,-
900 tons rails sold at ohlcnso for deliv-
cry next year. The advance in tin
plates, in spite of production far greater
than was thought possible not long ago,
Is evidence that the consumption Of
steel in that branch will be heavy. The
wire nail works also report better de-
mand ana the output of conneflsville
coke has started up, gaining 10000 tons
for the week.

There is no room to doubt that the
wheat crop, even though It may fall a
shade below some estimates, will prove
the largest ever harvested, and although
Beerbohm estimates Europe's crop at
2S2,OOO,OOO bushels more than the last,
that would be only an average yield,
while other evidence is less favorable.
Foreign buying has been strong so that
Atlantic exports for the week have been
s32s,s7s bushels against 55S4,75s last
year, and Pacific exports 45Siss1 bushels
against 25s,s5l last year. But receipts
at the west are increasing, and the price
has dropped five cents for spot, though
the September option is seven-eighths
lower for the week. Corn has fallen a
fraction, later reports indicating a less
satisfactory yield, and probably not
more than should be consumed Mt home
in enlarglng the stock of animals, The
advance of sixteenth In cotton to 5.S1
cents has followed a little better milling
demand, with rather less favorable re-
ports Of probable Yield, but the crop is
at tho worst likely to exceed the world's
needs.

The enormous volume Of business in a
month usually one OF the most inactive
of the year demands attention. Post
ponement during the months OF war of
some contracts and purchases which
have now come forward explain part Of
the increase and the strong absorption
Of securities explains part, but there has
also been n great decline in the average
Of prices for all. commodities, so that 1T
takes a much larger volume Of business
in tons or bushels to make up transac-
tIons amounting to a million more than
in 1892. It Is therefore, strictly true that
business is larger than in the very best
Of all past years and yet there is every
prospect of much further increase.
