THE IRON MARKET.
Disquieting Reports From Finish
 cd Product

VA & AV44Gb
 New York. Jan. z--While some improve ment is noted in the foundry pig iron markets. according to The Iron Age. dis quietinE reports come from the steel rail and finished material trades. Reports of cutting arc again current in structural materials, while complaints have been made of price irregularities in the steel plate trade A disposition to shade prices in Northern pig Iron is noted as one oi the events of the week.
 Concerning the steel rail trade, The Iron Age says:
 "Disquiet.ng reports come from the steel rail trade which must, however. lose d great deal of their force when the con- ditions are more fully examined. It Is stated that some of the railroads have recently cancelled orders placed for this year; that others have cut down their es- inmates and have notified the mills of postponement of deliveries. and that ear Her sinauiries have shrunken much lately All this must not be taken too seriously. The buyers know that the steel rail ca pscity is much greater than it was a
 year ago; that the pressure for steel bill
 lets is less and that. therefore, in all
 probability there will be little trouble a,
 any time during 1894 in securing fair deliv.
 cries. There Is little incentive, there fore, to get orders in early or to put In
 full requirements.
 Prices are usually guaranteed against
 decline. but this applies only to the ac-
 tual time of shipment. When rails are
 delivered the contract price holds good "In finished Iron and steel generally
 consumers are maintaining a waiting at
 titude. Some orders have been placed in structural material. but there are re- ports that some low prices are being made in fabricated material and on con-
 tracts for finished structures. There have
 been complaints too. of occasional irregu-
 larittes in the plate trade.
 "In the East and West iron bars have
 not gained in strength. but a better
 volume of inouiries is reported in sheets.
 An export trade in bars is developing in an encouraging manner.
 pig iron markets, with some disposition
 on the part of Northern producers to
 shade prices"
