PIG IRON MARKET
 CONTINUES QUIET
INQUIRIES MORE NUMEROUS, BUT CONSUMERS ARE STILL DlslN. cLlNEp TO BUY IN LARGE AMoUNTs-coKE EASIER.

Rogers. Brown &. Co. g Cincinnati mar ket report of yesterdays date says;
 Inquiries for pig iron during the past week have been somewhat more numer- ous. but the disinolination to buy large amounts still continues. Consumers as a rule are eontenting themselves in cover ing their requirements for the next thirty days at whatever prices are obtainable. Shipments are going forward freely on old contracts and but few requests to hold up deliveries are received. The off cial reports showing that the increase in the production is confined chiefly to steel making irons indicate that there is not likely to be a large surplus of foundry grades. and unless consumption declines it does not appear that there will be ex- cessive stocks accumulated by the fur naees this year.
 There is but little change in prices to report. Some producers show excessive anxiety to keep their yards clear of all grades and concessions have been made when necessary to secure current busi- ness.
 The coke market is decidedly easier and quotations are getting back more nearly to a normal basis.
