that the rest Is in the hands OF farmers and

This no doubt had some effect. although 1t

in which they said that crop conditions along
their lines are very favorable. The Price

fairly good and showing sufficient moisture
for the present. Receipts in the northwest
were larger than the last year figures for the
first time In ten days. Liverpool closed 7sd
up, but Paris was off equal to 11ac. 1t was re-
ported that New York exporters had bought

bought as much yesterday and that Manitoba
wheat is constantly pressing for sale at the
export markets. 80 =:

SALES ARE ON A RISING SCALE
ing Basic Iron for Third
r. - Quarter Delivery. a-.sz-.
Cleveland, March 1S.-The Iron Trade

Cleveland. March 1S.-The Iron Trade
Review says:
The excitement that showed in the Zig
iron market two and three weeks ago Is no.
in evidence now The heavy buying at that
time put some producers out of the market.
Others are doing out with sparing hand
what iron they have for this years ship
ment. It would appear that on foundry iron
the product Is more fully sold for 1902 than
some recent figures indicated, but buyers are
not stampeding the market to cover their
wants. The conditions are not altogether easy
to diagnose and the two views of producers
are still exemplified in selling polcies-on the
one hand "a conservauvely maintained price;
side by side with it the policy OF asking ad-
vances as the urgency OF inquiries suggests.
1t is fact, however, that the bulk OF the
iron now being sold is on rising scale of
prices. How far consumption would outrun
productive capacity If transportation troubles
could be ended Is the problem whose solution
is most difficult
So far as the Pittsburg district is concerned
and its influence on the situations almost
commanding-the prospects for early better
ment In the freight movement are not en-
couraging. Meantime prices are being affected
and the holding down process is not fully
successful. Among recent, pig iron buyers in
the central west are purchasers Of basic iIsn
by the United States Steel corporation for
third quarter delivery at s15 at furnaces, the
price pail recently for Bessemer iron for
third quarter. Both irons have cut loose from
this basis however, sales outside of the
associated furnaces as high as ST and SIT %
at furnace being paid for BesseIner iron, while
for basic some furnaces are holding for high
er figures later in the year
The matter Of coke contracts for the second
half OF the year is; up with some furnaces, and
1925 has been paid for non Connellsyille coke
as against Sl9O and 81 for the first half and
1t is expected that the basis for Connellsville
will be $3.50 as against 50 25 Ore buying is
going on at a steady price after the quiet
interval that ollowed the first rush of con-
tracing. Foreign steel Is small factor in
the, business of the week but some German
sheet bars have been sold for delivery in the
Pittsburg district at $685. sI ss2s

account, after practically taking to themselves

am as well posted as to their value as most
