Cleveland, o., June s0.--The Iron
Trade Review has this TO say concern
ing market conditions in its current
issue:
The first half OF 1904 ends with a
restrictive movement under way in the
iron trade that promises to bring pig
iron production back to the February
basis, when the output was at year.
" rate OF less than l5.000.oOo tons,
The extent OF shutdowns OF rolling
mills and steel works on July and
the length OF the idle period cannot be
fully determined at this writing, but
win be considerable. Scale disagree
ments will cause some interruption.
particularly in sheet and tin plate mills
and to some extent in bar mills. But
there Is a disposition among blast fur
mace operators to prevent the aeeumu-
lation Of their product so that the idle
ness of the mills win not necessarily
mean further weakening in the pig iron
market.
A scale agreement was reached by
the American Sheet and Tinplate Com
pany in the week on basis OF Is per
cent reduction from last years scale,
which leaves wages as they have been
since the special April conference
The rebate question is still undecided.
however. Independent sheet manufac-
turers want 20 per cent reduction,
and are still in conference with the
workers. The non-union mills OF the
leading interests are the disturbing
factors, and the possibility of the idle
ness of all union sheet and tin plate
mills for some weeks Is not remote.
The Republic Iron and Steel Company
will close most OF its mills for a part
OF July at least. At Joliet, H., the rod
mill department has closed down and
further suspensions there are expect
ed. The National Tube Company VIII
close down some OF its mills for urgent
repairs, but has plenty of orders. A
number of American Steel & Wire
Company plants. as well as independent
wire plants in Plttsburg and Ironton
districts will be out early in July. The
hoop and bar mills OF the Carnegie
Steel Company are expected to be of
for a time, the scale being still un-
signed. With not a few mills there
is no pressing necessity for running
until mid-year, when repairs are need
ed. In the central west a few more
blast furnaces have gone out and there
is an evident adjustment to the require
ments Of quiet summer.
In spite of these general preparations
for curtailed output, there has been
more than a fair volume OF inquiry
for pig iron and for steel products in
the past week. If anything like the
full tonnage represented in inquiry
were realized in orders the activity
would be marked.
The pig iron situation gives token
OF more life and the proportion OF In
quiry resulting in business is probably
greater than in finished material.
