IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.
Report of the Review For the Past
Week.

Week.
Cleveland, Oct. S.-The Iron Trade
Review this week says:
Another week has passed in which
the iron trade has been buster watch
Ing developments than in buying and
selling. The meeting of the southern
furnacemen and their decision on
prices, the action of pig iron producers
in three sections Indefinitely planning
to cut down production and finally the
cutting in two of the dividend on the
common stock of the United States
Steel corporation, combined to make
the week eventful. In the meantime
business has waited. We estimate the
probable curtailment of pig iron pro-
duotion the last quarter Of the wear
through concerted action at close to
$4,000 tons. This counts on 75o tons
from the restrictive program of central
western furnaces and ITS, 900 tons from
the southern and eastern furnaces pro.
vtded the eastern furnaces continue
through November and December the
20 per cent reduction planned for DC
tober
The situation as to southern iron
has been complicated by some moves
made in advance of the action of the
association meeting at Birmingham.
There has not been enough buying
in the week to make the market clear.
Blu $1,000 and $10.75 iron is not plenti-
full and it remains to be seen whether
the 20 per cent reduction in output de-
c1ded on by southern association fur.
naces will enable them to work off ac.
cumulated stocks at current prices.
The situation in the steel market hsa
been without feature, less being heard
OF billet prices below those agreed nm
on There is no market for Bessemer
iron, which can be had at $3.50. val
ley furnace. Northern foundry iron
is irregular, being generally $14.50 to
$14.75 for No. 2 at furnaces.
