Wooden GOods-The recorders for heavy
weights have again been a feature this
week, showing up a total larger than usual
Tor this late stage and keeping prices Of
serges, clays and other staples quite firm.
For light weights for mems wear fabrics
the demand coming forward, although ex-
panding somewhat, is still unsatisfactory.
Agents are in most directions pushing for
further orders and with a lower wool mar
ket are occasionally quoting reductions of
8 per cent, but in standard lines OF staples
In both woolens or worsteds prices are not
lower than before. Satinets and doeskin
jeans are dull and easy Business in over
coatings and cloakings continues inactive at
irregular prices The demand for wooden
ana worsted goods for spring is expanding
slowly, and the market continues dull and

Iron and SteeI-The output of pig iron
Nov. l was 22S,9S5 tons weekly, against u.s.
6S5 Oct. 1. This is but $500 tons weekly
less than the greatest production ever at
tanned. March l last year, but then stocks
were being increased so that the apparent
consumption was only 81, 609 tons daily
whereas the unsold stocks decreased in Oc-
tober IS, pa tons, which with the average
daily output indicates a consumption OF
S2.Ss2 tons daily. or 1,0l9, 646 for the month
OF October. This is probably the highest
consumption ever attained in this country
although stocks held by the great steel COM
panies are not included in the record OF the
Iron Age. One of the largest producers
has been selling rather large blocks of Bes,
semer and basic pig at Pittsburg. and as
buyers are generally supplied far ahead

The remarkable feature is the export de-
mand, which surpasses all expectations, in
Guiding 10000 tons steel rails for Northern
Europe and 100000 tons plates which man
ufscturers have been arranging to distribute.
But other export orders include IL. 500 tons
billets from Pittsburg. and large quantities
OF bars. rods, wire and a great variety
Of manufactured products. Home demand is
also steady for the season, and large enough
to sustain all prices. Chicago notes orders
for 1000 cars, and another covering 1000
tons plate with surprisingly large orders
for light rails. and for hardware throughout
the West Pittsburg notes orders for steel cars
and plates for lake vessels little better
demand for bars, while at Philadelphia the
demand Of all sorts surpasses expectation
especially in plates for the shipyards and
the lakes and for cars.-Bradstreet's Nov. Il
