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-
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 commissioner to England and
Germany to buy sheet bars The amount Of
the contracts as talked Of will be about 4O, 600
tons, but it is believed a larger tonnage will
be needed. deliveries extending over the next
six months. 1t is understood that the United
States Steel corporation is buyer The Steel
corporation is also a 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 S since December. and German billets
are quoted at $3.50, Pittsburg, while s33 is
asked for sheet bars. 1t is believed from
1000 to 200. 900 tons of foreign steel will be
needed this year to supplement the domestic
output. Plants under construction and plans
en- foot will give a very considerable increase
in our open hearth capacity, but only a minor
portion of it will be available this year.
In tho 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-
tirely for delivery in the second half OF the
year. Many buyers are influenced by the
difficulty Of getting iron already ordered and
the practical impossbility of finding even
carload lots of foundry iron for delivery be-
fore July 1. They seem to feel that this con-
dition will be encountered in the second half.
though it is well 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 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

May Sold Up to 74c, but Eased
Back at the Close to Yester-
days Closing Figure.
CORN AND OATS WERE STRONG
Some Bearish Items, but General
Tendency to Ignore Them. and =
Watch Winter Wheat

Watch Winter Wheat.
Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce, Feb. 81
May wheat sold up to 74c to noon to-day
1t was dull and uninteresting market for the
early part OF the session. Minneapolis May
sold down to 7SAc to start The early weak
ness was due in part to heavier receipts in
the northwest. the figures showing o33 cars,
against 22 last year. This offset
by lot Of news to the effect that rains are
making the roads bad and holding back coarse
grams, and by stronger market in conse-
quence in both corn and oats. Kansas City
was up over cent corn and st. Louis
was strong on both corn and wheat. Some
buying orders came IN and the market re-
sponded quickly.
The effect Of yesterdays crop damage gossip
was shown this morning, it expected
1t would be. in decidedly less aggressive set
OF bearish traders. The ccncensus Of opinion
Is that the reports were eNaggerations, that it
is rather early for anything of value regard
Ing conditions, and that while there are no
doubt bad places in the winter wheat area.
It is doubtful if anything has been discovered
Warranttng the belief that the general outlook
Is otherwise than favorable. The Price Cur
rent report was watched for with little
more than the usual interest. Winter wheat,
II says Is regarded n little less hopefully
than last month, 1t Is nearly all In good
condition, yet lacking the high vigor neces-
sary to withstand adverse influence. Reports
outlook as favorable, yet not overlooking the
possibility OF sudden changes, make the bears
doubly cautious. and the market hesitates in
consequence. There are good many bear
ish things in the general situation, especially
from the northwestern viewpoint, yet traders
realize that all such matters as cash demand.
light exports, heavier receipts and other
things, ordinarily Of leading influence, will be
ignored at the first real evidence Of any
crop damage. Hence the cautiousness. At
this writing the market is Arm with sentiment
more bul!ish than otherwise, pending further
news from the southwest. To-days reports
are Of low barometer over Kansas, suggesting
storms.
Primary receipts were 666 900 blu, against
600 bu. and shipments 162 OOC bu, against
10000. Minneapolis received 1868 cars, against
26l last year, and Duluth had 100, against 81
cars.
Liverpool closed 1ad higher.
Clearances OF wheat and -four equaled 1871
600 blu. T.
At the end the market weakened and fell
back to yesterdays closing figure. May
closed at 1880; July, 74Ac; Chicago May
closed at 1856.
Good demand ruled in the cash market and
while receipts were larger than yesterday, the
good lots were promptly cleaned up. No. /
sold on unchanged basis, but on No. 9 there
was trihe frmer range. Millers bought the
bulk of the milling wheat and were not so
critical as of late, taking anything at all
