come forward freely, and the new year
will open with more business on the
books than ever before. Prices of
commodities are firmly held by the
steady domestic demand, and there is
a good export movement of the lead

instances, however. there is still the
drawback of inadequate transporting
facilities which restrict shipments to

Healthy Tone in Iron and Steel.
Quiet conditions in the iron and
steel industry unaccompanied by any
sign OF weakness testify TO the healthy
tone and suggest a bright outlook for
the coming year. Furnaces and mills

of the uncertainty as to date of
delivery. although there are prospec.
tive purchasers who still anticipate
better terms in 1903. Foreign pig
iron Is offered slightly below domes-

nor home made iron is available for
immediate use in large quantities.
Independent steel mills claim that
they are unable to pay present prices
for billets, which cost S31, or more for
early shipment. Reports from the
south show a large increase in pro.
