of goods through regular channels.
At the close Of last week negotiations were
concluded for large sale of pig iron at $3.50
furnace, deliveries beginning in October and
covering six months. This price is in line
the leading interests Not only pig iron, but
bars, billets and structural shapes are all
sold SO far ahead that new business is COM
paratiIely light. Flrnness in cotton goods
naturally follows the combination of light

together with the higher price of raw ma

bushels, against 2Ol0,349 d year ago.
Cotton moved up to the highest point Of the

worthy that heavy liquidation failed to pro
