pHE IRON MARKET.
Action Of Beam and Plate Pools I'm
proves the Trade.

RAOVOo SA&0 4A00Os
CLEVELAND. September s.-Relative to
the condition of the iron market at large
the Iron Trade Review this week says: The
uncertainty that for weeks has been an
embargo on business in finished steel has
been broken by the action of the beam and
plate pools on Tuesday On plates above
twenfy-fom inches in width the reduction
Is "A ton, or to 1.4Oc. Pittsburg, and on
narrow plates SO ton. Beams and chan
neis are reduced to 1.4Oc Pittsburg, or the
siowest price that has prevailed in four
years. 1t Is understood that arrangements
nave been made that will prevent the cut
ting of prices on fitted material that has
been much complained of by certain mem
beers of the beam pool in connection with
contracts taken In the past few months.
The cooperation Of the Lackawanna Steel
Company is understood to have been Sc
cured at least to the extent of maintain
ing pool prices.
Another reduction of the week was in
wrought pipe, the leading interest taking
81 to 81 ton Competition has increased
in this line some of 1t fortified in steel
and pig iron. Under the reimbursement mills
buying their own skelp have a very narrow
margin to work on.
Important business of the weekccan be
readily summarized Rail buying amounted
with the leading producers to $4,000 tons of
standard sections. half of which is for a
new line in the far west. Pittsburg notes
2OGO-toD plate order for vessel work and
a 3,OOO-ton inquiry for shapes for a New
York elevator. The American Bridge Com
panys new business in August was be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 tons, a considerable
Improvement upon July.
Foundry pig iron is quieter and somewhat
weaker. Southern production has decreas ed
because OF the coal strike. and the end OF
the latter may be long deferred There is
ather more S9.25 southern iron but north
ern furnaces continue to take most of the
business. The starting up of steel cor
poration stacks continues, and the week
brings the total to fifteen additions to the
active list in about a fortnight Foundry
operations do not show any distinct i'm
provement on the whole, but in some CEN
tiers more men are reported at work in ma
