THE IRON AGE REVIEW.

New York, April 2-In its review Of the iron
market, the Iron Age says: From all quarters
come the reports of considerable improvement
in the movement Of materials and OF prod
ucts Aside from the possible trouble among the
structural iron workers, there is little danger of
any labor troubles along the line to the finished
rolling mill product. The event Of the week has
been the reduction in prices made by the south
the official price has been $3.50 for No
Birmingham but outside furnaces have been
steadily undersellng, that $3.50 price has
been made. Association furnaces have placed
the price at $3.50 for No. Birmingham for
western territory and at $16.50 for eastern terri
tory. Reports from Cincinnati indicate that
other sellers are even offering at close to
SIT for that district.
While there has been irregu1arity for some
time past the action of the association comes as
q surprise However, aside from the undersell-
ing of other producers, the for 1t are
have for some time past been virtually out of the
market, which has been supplied by northern fur
naces and by foreign pig irons. These have
reached Ohio river and lake cities from the At
lantic ports and entered Chicago via gulf ports.
With No. 2 southern foundry selling at New
porters at present prices abroad. With the ex'
ception of the New England territory very little
foreign iron has been sold for delivery during the
second half for melting in this country, SO thai
it would not take long before the importations
would be sharply cut of and we would agaiI
have our market for ourselves This Of course
applies primarily to foundry pig iron. The
| quantities Of low phosphorus and special Besse
| mer speigleizen and ferromanganese purchased
| for future delivery abroad are considerable.
The domestic markets., so far rival an(
| competing regions are concerned will be some
what affected by the latest development in thu
| Mig iron situation, which will be welcomed a.
promising to put an end to false situation.
