REVIEW IRON TRADE.
CONSERVATIVE COUNCILS PRE-
VENT ADVANCE OF PRICES.
MUNICIPALITIES IN MARKET
Deliveries Are Becoming More Prompt
and the Outlook for Steel Struc-
tural Work Grows
Brighter.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 31.-The Iron Age says:
There has been some discussion among
Southern makers of pig iron of the
expediency of announcing further in
crease in the price Of pig iron Of SO cents
per ton. Conservative councils have pre-
vailed, however, and it was decided to
let we'll enough alone.
There is a steady stream of buying or
ders in moderate quantities widely dis
tributed for delivery up to February. in
djcating confidence in the manufacture,
but showing little disposition on the part
Of buyers to contract far ahead, except
when 1t Is necessary to stock up In an
ticipation of the closing Of navigation.
In the Pittsburg district the buying has
been very heavy, the sales being upward
Of 10000 tons Of foundry iron.
Consumption Of Product.
AS bearing on the question of the mag
nitude Of the consumption the position
in the cast iron pipe trade is significant,
because this interest is little affected by
what may be doing in Wall street.
The flow of moderate sized orders for
prompt delivery has been exceptional for
this season of the year. Never in the
history Of the pipe trade have conditions
been more favorable.
The leading municipalities are coming
into the market, too, unusually early.
New York has just called for about 5000
tons, and Boston will soon be In the
market for an even larger amount.
A Significant Transaction.
The steel situation shows little change
Those VINO are caught with belated de-
liveries or without covering contracts
are paying such premiums that the Ques-
ton of building steel works is obtruding
itself. A significant transaction has been
the sale Of German basic steel for de-
livery west of Pittsburg, with more bust
ness pending.
Prices for finished iron and steel. while
very remunerative, do not thus far ap-
pear to have had the slightest effect in
checking consumption. STILL a hint in
that direction is conveyed in the report
Of the Western bar trade. That same
interest in the East is beginning to COM
plain Of Stacking trade.
Affected by the Strike.
At least in one line which was affected
by the strike in sheets, deliveries are be.
coming prompter. In others, notably
in plates, many stories are current Of or
ders untitled for which specification;
were put in as early as May.
The outlook for structural work Il
brighter. A heavy tonnage has already
been booked. and good deal of work is
in sight, On the lakes a number Of or.
ders for ships have been booked, and the
yards are full to overlooking.
In the copper trade there is substantial
unanimity Of opinion as to the strength
of the market.

to business. He rounded up his bunch
at the proper time, overlooked no NAV

always took good cattle to market.
A few years ago when an inventory
of Mr.. Pierce's property was made it
showed that he was worth in excess of
$3,OOO,VO. That was before the big
advance in cattle and before the land
was considered of any value except for
grazing. Now the appraisemcnt of the
same property would probably double the
figures.

Abel H. Pierce, better known in Texas
as Shanghai, was the richest of Texas

banking circles in New York as on the
pralries Of Texas, and the big moneyed
men of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas
City knew him almost as we'll as did the
people OF the larger towns of Texas.
Nothing was too big for Shanghai to
take a hand in, from poker game to
blind pool in Wall street, but the only
thing he pHded himself on was his
knowledge of cattle. 1t was a chance
