up to to-day is $500 bushels. AT this
rate the decrease of 1859, 726 bushels last

was Of a contrary nature for there was a
total of 10000 bushels In there against

ture in the soil and there have been sea-

Corn planting Is well advanced and the

Owing to the lateness Of the season and

IRON TRADE REVIEW

New York. May 24.-Withfn the next thirty
days the production Of pig iron WILL it is stated
~ leading dealers here, be greatly curtailed at
the furnaces in all parts of the United States.
The proposed reduction, which is not by united
action, is variously estimated at 20 to 40 per
cent of the present output.
The furnaces to be most quickly affected are
those which have been in operation the longest,
as the new furnaces have more modern machin-
cry and equipment and can turn out iron at a
lower cost than their older competitors
The production of pig iron during 1903 was
49, 100000 tons. Experts assert that unless there
is great Improvement in the near future the
total for the current year will not exceed IA,
600, OOG tons.
1t is stated that the first curtailment VIII
tie made in about three weeks. One company S
furnaces In the Chicago district producing about
down and Others are expected to follow unless
the demand becomes much heavier than at pres
ent.
