IRON PRICES ARE
 WELL MAINTAINED
MARKET SEEMS TO BE BARE OF ROUND LOTS OF SOUTHERN LOW GRADES-FURNAcE STOCKS DECREASING.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 The buying of pig iron during the past week has been rather limited, but prices have been firmly maintained and con sumption is probably increasing. There have been inquiries for round lots of southern low grades, but the market seems to be bare of them.
 So far as can be ascertained the stocks of iron in consumers hands have not increased, while stocks at furnaces are growing smaller.
 Some of the producers have Advanced prices on grades that they are not anx- ious to sell. Opinions of the usual vari- ety are freely expressed about the future of the market and consumers who have not fully covered their wants are taking comfort from the fact that the Steel cor poration did not exercise its option on May iron. To those acquainted with the real facts of the situation it was surpris- ing that the Steel corporation should have required any iron from the outside. The demand for steel must be very great In order to justify it in buying Bessemer pig when 92 per cent of it's own blast fur mace capacity Is in operation. It Is re- ported that the Steel corporation has now become the purchaser of the Clairton company. This will give it both addi- tional furnace and finishing capacity.
 It is expected that the city of Cincin- nati will shortly place large order for water pipe, and this, in connection with castings for the Pennsylvania tunnel at New York, will require the successful bid ders to purchase many thousand tons of northern and southern brands within the next thirty or sixty days.
 There Is no special change in the coke market. Most of the business is being done on old contracts and there Is com paratively little buying.

The story is generally believed. however, on the grounds that MT. Henin would naturally like to see a friend who helped him in his campaign succeed him as secretary of state.
 The friends of MT. Hefin were ques- toned about the matter last night but they knew nothing about 1t. The result of the sudden trip to Las Vegas is being watched with much interest by the sup porters of the other candidates for eec- retary of state.
