Preliminary meetings have been held
by Independent lake ore producers
which indicate that there win be an ad-
vance possibly on Mesaba ores to $3.50
for nom Ressemer and to $3.50 for Bes-
semer, and on old range ores to si.7
for Bessemer and $4 for nom Bessemer.
The scale has not yet been definitely
fixed. however.
In the foundry iron markets buying
continues on moderate scale, consum-
ers adhering to the belief that they can
only gain by waiting. Still there is

amount Of business in Germany par
ticularly being on the increase. Some
cargoes Of Middlesboro have been pur-
chased by importers, but this is due TO
shifting caused by disappointments in
deliveries from other foreign producers.
AT home the freight blockade is still as
serious rs ever. It is understood that
conferences are taking place in the CEN
trail west between some Of the leading
producers and the railroad officials.

tuent companies of the United States

bookings in structural material, plates,
rails and wire are very heavy, as is
well known, but it is interesting to not4
that the movement in tin plate too has
