THE IRON TRADE.
Sentiment is Improved, hut there is no
 Material ImprOYemenf.

Cleveland, O., July 14.-The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 As has been the case several times in the past six months, sentiment in the iron trade shows improvement where little or none Is in evidence in actual market happenings. The cutting down of pig iron production and the possi- bility that this movement may be car ried to a point where reduction of stocks instead of accumulation. will quickly ensue. are factors whose possi- bilities are having attention.
 That the various pools have had their meetings and have reaffirmed prices. has constituted another favorable in- fuence on sentiment. even though the general expectation was that no change would be made. Some influence may have been expected also by the encour- aging view the speculative community has been disposed to take of business prospects. a prominent factor no doubt being the well-publshed estimates of steel corporation earnings for the second quarter. these being on a basis thought to foreshadow the payment of the full dividend on the preferred stock for that quarter.
 It may be said also that the St. Louis convention turned out better for the business interests of the country than might have been expected. But when account is taken of these influences. practically all the improvement side of the weeks developments has been stat ed. The attitude of buyers of iron and steel has not changed, except that some pig iron inquiry may be attributed to the belief that concessions below the low point recently reached are not like ly The attitude of Southern sellers has been a trfie firmer, perhaps. and while $9 No. ? iron has been sold. there have been $9.25 sales also. and for the fourth quarter delivery, S9.5O Is quoted
 The coal miners strike in Alabama is expected to extend through the month but apart from these companies shut down. there has been no ourtail- ment except for repairs. and with the accumulated coke and shipments from West Virginia. the fuel shortage will not be a problem for a time at least.
 In the Mahoning and Shenango val leys no further curtailment of produc- tion is reported.
