are merely nominal. From the present
outlook it seems almost impossible to
break the price, Even the possible
strike Of the foundry men does not
cause a ripple on the placid price OF
pig iron.
Billets-The concession in the rate
from $41.00 to $1,000 is no surprise to
the close student of the market and
while the rate is low comparatively
we hear of no important contracts be-
ing made. In fact it would be difficult
to make a large contract at the low
rate of to-day.
Finished Material-The amount of
structural iron for use in our large
cities has increased in proportion to
the demand for skyscrapers. 1t is es-
timated that New York City alone will
use S100,0O0,0 C0 structural iron next
year. The dullness of the market is
caused by the cold weather limiting
out door work.
Old Material-The supply and de-
mand for cast and wrought iron scrap
is so different at different markets
that the price is irregular, and while,
generally speaking, the rate is firm
many sales at less than the market
rates are repoted.
