THE IRON AGE REVIEW

New York, July s.-Our monthly blast fur

a number of makers in different districts are
still hunting for orders, and shelters are re-

southern furnaces have been getting pretty
close to the basis of s13 for No. 2 at Birming-
ham, and there is some curiosity to see what
the associated makers are going to do about
it. A meeting is to be held in Chicago this
week. In the east the northern furnaces
have been loading the market and some of
them are making lower prices than the Biz
mingham equivalent.

THE FLOUR MARKET
PRICES ARE UP ALL AROUND AND MILL.
Frs TALKING BULLIsH

Millers put up prices this morning on all
grades. and the -four market is now on the high
est price level for some time. The strength that
rules Is based not so much upon good demand
for -four as upon the higher figures for wheat
Local millers take the view that -four prices are
likely to hold up we'll, and while some reactions
may come from time to time, it is the opinion
that the present cures will be maintained OF
the average. From present indications there is
not likely 10 be any unusually heavy production
of good milling wheat in the northwest while
reports to local nillers from the southwest are
to the effect that in many districts the winter
wheat threshings are showing smaller yields OF

decline in wheat. but not likely to be affected
by minor dips Of temporary nature
