summarized as follows:
The event OF the business week has
been the discovery of a greatly i'm
proved demand for pig iron and wire
nails, and for some forms OF steel, no.
tably sheets, bars and scrap. In
creased demand for steel products has
started some OF the largest plants,
and prices for various kinds mention
ed is 81 higher per ton. Wire nails
have advanced still further. Ten or
fifteen thousand more industrials en-
ployes have gone back to work with
in week, but in most Instances at a
lower rate Of wages. The drag in the
steel trade market results from unwill-
ing news of railroad companies to pay
So more per ton than leading inter
ests are Offering rails abroad.
In New England it Is still problem
atical how much the output of cotton
goods will be curtailed by the high
price Of cotton.
Spring trade outlook in staple lines
in Unexpectedly favorable. At Chico
go orders compare favorably with last
year, and at st. Louis they exceed
those of the like period in 1903. At
both Pittsburg and Philadelphia bus
mess men report a good effect from
the improved situation in iron and
steel; orders have increased, factories
and foundries have started up. Tex
tile stocks at Philadelphia are light,
and increased outputs are predicted.
The volume of railway traffic at
Chicago is 2 per cent larger than a
year ago, with slightly increased earn
ings. AT Pittsburg the roads are car
rying Is per cent less than in Janu-
ary last year.
