NOTABLE WEEK
 IN IRON TRADE Prices in Every Section Made
 an Advance SPECULATION IS PLENTIFUL The Active Buying Movement Is At trIbuted To Inherent Conditions Rather Than to Negotiations
 In New York.
SPECULATION IS PLENTIFUL

Cleveland. February 8-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 The coincidence of further awaken ing in the market and the organization of the world greatest industrial con solidation make the past week not able one in the iron trade. Prices in nearly every quarter of the week and the United States Steel Corporation begins its life under conditions that could scarcely be more favorable. barring the one drawback of dwindling buying for export.
 Speculation as to what Is ahead Is plentiful, but as far as the iron market is concerned, what was said in this papers review week ago. may be re- peated-the active buying movement is to be attributed to inherent conditions rather than to negotiations in New York.
 Pig has made a further advance The purchase of basic Iron by the leading interests put at 5000 tons last week, were nearer 100000, 1t now appears. and to this are to be added buying for Pitts burg and Shenango Valley open hearth plAEtb anu d COu5iuCidDlS diuOuhb III Oooh- ern Pennsylvania.
 "Bessemer iron Is still In demand, and sales have been made at prices ranging $14 to s14.5o in the last week. On early delivery metal s1475 has been touched and some furnaces have their figure at $15 in the valley.
 Ear iron has advanced s1 ton and Is now sold at $1. .45 at Mahoning Valley mills. Steel bars range from $1.95 to T. b, Pittsburg, according to the condition of the seller. Sheets, after remaining on level for several months under heavy de- mand in all mills, have moved up 8 a ton for blue annealed and $4 for cold rolled
 "A notable rail order booked at Pitts burg the past week Is for 5000 tons for shipment to Ecuador.
 Conditions throughout the market are stronger than at any time in twelve months and the wise heads in the trade are already sounding a caution. Ore prices, contrary to report, have not yet been established for 1901"
