IRON TRADE PROSPECTS.
Reduction Of Prices on eillets Has
Small Effect on Sales.

The Iron Age says: The action of
the billet association has attracted a
good deal of attention, but Is really
not very important, since the tonnage
OF steel billets sold in the open mar.
ket is Insignificant when compared
with the days before the consolida.
tions. Then, too, the great bulk of
what crude steel IL sold, is delivered
on old sliding scales based on the
price of Besscmer pig iron. There.
fore, the open reductions in prices of
billets and sheet cars does not ma.
terla,ly change the situation. It
does not Justify the expectations,
evidently indulgcd in by some con.
sumers, that prices in certain finish.
ed lines must be correspondingly re-
duced. Business in structural ma
terlal does not appear to have been
stimulated to any extent by the re-
cent lowering in association prices
on shapes. In fact. some sellers note
that the market is rather queter.
In plate and shape trades. the prin-
clpal effect of the concessions has
been to bring ont specifications on
old contracts, but for new business.
consumers seem to cling to the con.
viction that the end OF establishments
of prices has not yet come. The
trade in merchant pipe is quieter,
and there are again reports of slight
shading. There Is not much that is
encouraging from the sheet and tin
plate trades.

MANUFACTURES IN LEAD.
Exports Of Farm Products Fall Be.
low Manufactures.

The Increase In exports OF manu-.
features and decrease in exports OF
agricultural products are discussed
at considerable length in n report of
the chief of the Bureau of Statistics
OF the Department OF Commerce and
Labor For the first time in the his.
tory of the export trade of the
United States manufactures exceeded
s45O,000,0O0. and agricultural pro-
ducts for the first time fell below
90 per cent. OF the total domestic ex-
ports. The total exports OF domestic
manufactures were 1852. LAS, ,629,
against s40I526,l59 in 1903. and
$i33,S51,756 In 1900, the highest rec.
ord in earlier years. The total valrB
of agricultural products exported
was 1853, S,6S5.S67. against SS73,322,-
$50 in 1908. and s9t3,Sl1.O20 In 1901.
when the highest total of agricultural
exports was recorded.
The gain In manufactures over
agricultural products in the export
trade of the country Is shown in the
fact that In 1874 manufactures ex-
ported amounted to but about one
fifth as much in value as agricultural
products exported; in 1884 their val
ue was about one-fourth as much; in
1894 nearly one.third as much, and In
1894 more than one-half as much as
that OF the products of agriculture,
while in the closing months of the
year, May and June, manufactures
for the first time in the history of
our commerce actually exceeded agri-
cultural products In value of exports.
This decrease in the value of agrl.
cultural products exported Is the
more striking when It IS considered
that the export price of cotton
averaged higher during the year than
in any prior year for more than q
quarter of century. and that the
value Of raw cotton exported was
greater than in any preceding year.
and formed nearly one.half OF the
total value of agricultural products
