BUSINESS MEN ARE CONFIDENT.
Improvement In Conditions - Expectation
That Steel Strike viii Be Settled-De.
mand for Finished Iron.

II. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: Continued favorable
weather conditions have resulted In
the saving Of much late planted corn,
and in the northwest ideal weather
for spring wheat harvest has been en-
joyed. AS this Is the point that bus
incss in all parts OF the country has
been most carefully watching, the
general feeling Is better than week
ago. although the disposition on both
sides to settle the steel strike has not
yet resulted in any agreement and the
labor situation Is thus kept prominent.
Official returns OF pig iron production
in the first half of the year show
record breaking aggregate of 7,674,713
tons. exceeding the remarkable out
put Of the previous year by 32,044
tons. The second half of 1901 has
opened with much greater capacity
Of active furnaces and the full year
promises considerably larger total
than the 13.7s9,2i2 tons produced In
1900. During the past week leading
mills have placed large contracts for
early delivery and inquiries for all
forms of finished steel are abundant.
There Is less disposition TO pay fancy
prices for products that were advanc-
ed by the strike. which is an evl.
dence of the general belief In early
resumption of work. Violent fluctua-
tlons have marked the course of corn
prizes. The top point Of the previous
week was not regalned. but traders on
the short side Oh the market were com
PEELED to recover at loss. The de.
crease in marketing Is not in pro-
