PIG IRON MARKET.

In their weekly summary Of pig iron conditions
Rogers. Brown & Co say:
The demand for pig iron has increased in the last
week to such extent to lead furnaCemen 10
wonder whether IL is a mere temporary squirt or
marks the long expected turn in the market. De
mand springs from so many sources and calls for
50 substantial tonnage to make 1t look like
the real thing. Nothing is better understood than
the fact that 90 per cent Of the consumers of the
country ready to place substantial orders the
moment they see bottom. Several furnaces have
advarced their prices D to 20 cents ton stand
ard grades for the simple reason that they are
OVerSOld these grades and cannot furnish iron
which buyers need for immediate shipment. A lot
Of trouble is reported because Of the inability Of
buyers to get iron of the required grade and analy
sis prompt enough to meet melting needs The
scarcity Of standard irons only needs to be "A little
better understood to create Il rush TO On the
main question Of rate consumption the evidence Is
much mixed. There is plenty Of proof Of severe
falling off in certain lines. particularly those in
timately connected with the railroads. The policy
of railroad retrenChment appears to be pressed 10

the falling off in melt is nothing like severe
