INVESTMENT GOSSIP

New York t. Watson: The business of the

the statements that the public is interested,
we are disposed to doubt it. Very consider
able investment buying is apparent, but pure
ly speculative orders are scarce. and many
strong parties who are ordinarily interested
in the market are no longer in evidence from
that point of view: We confess to a feeling
of uncertaintx as to the next step, but our
judgment suggests to us that after the Janu-
airy rise a moderate decline would be in order
before the advance commonly known as the
spring boom. The discussion of the crop re-
ports will soon be in order. and we are well
aware that once or twice every year unfavor-
able rumers are freely circulated regarding
the result of the harvest. At no distant date
these reports will be upon US and must
make UP our minds that they will be of all
different calbers Looking at the matter,
then, from the most prudent standpoint. we
feel justified in saying that speculative oppor-
tunities are narrow at this moment and that

IMPORTS OF STEEL
These and Activity in Foundry Iron
Main Features.
U. S. CORPORATION AMONG BUYERS
Purchasers of Foundry Iron Uneasy
Over the Prospect of
Delivery.
Cleveland, Feb. 27.-The Iron Trade Re-

Cleveland, Feb. 27.-The Iron Trade Re-
view says:
The heavy import movement in steel and a
further burst of activity in foundry iron are
the features Of the iron market for the week.
The buying OF steel in Germany and England
now promises to grow to very considerable
proportions. In spite OF recent advances
abroad. The independent sheet manufacturers
at their meeting at Pittsburg last week de-
cided to send a commissioner to England and
Germany to buy sheet bars. The amount of
the contracts as talked Of will be about 40 600
tons, but 1t is believed a larger tonnage Will
be needed deliveries extending over the next
six months It is understood that the United
States Steel corporation is buyer. The Steel
corporation is also buyer abroad of steel
melting scrap, and the importation of low
phosphorus scrap by open hearth plants is
likely to reach round tonnage before the
end of the year German steel has advanced
81 to IS since December. and German billets
quoted at $3.50, Pittsburg, While s3s is
asked for sheet bars. It is believed from
i5O, 600 to 200 900 tons OF foreign steel will be
needed this year to supplement the domestic
output Plants under construction and plans
on foot will give very considerable increase
in open hearth capacity, but only a minor
portion of it will be available this year.
In the foundry iron market the feeling that
has been growing for some weeks among
consumers gave evidence of added excitement
in the past week. and the business closed has
been very heavy. This has been almost en-
trely for delivery in the second half Of the
year. Many BUYERS are Influenced by the
difhculty of getting iron already ordered and
the practical 1mpossibility of finding even
carload lots of foundry iron for delivery be-
fore July l. They seem to feel that this con-
dition will be encountered in the second half.
though it is we'll understood that furnace
output will be greater as time passes. also
that railroad troubles will disappear to a
large extent, A variation of fully 81 a ton
appears in current transactions. Those pro-
ducers who are exerting themselves most to
hold down prices are evidently not taking all
the business offered them. since other sellers
are. getting top prices from the same buyers
