THE IRON TRADE.
Continued Activity in the Market-Re-
ports of Furnaces.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. November 3.-The
Iron Trade Review this week says: me
pig iron market has passed through another
week of activity and excitement, with add
ed evidence of the remarkable change that
has come in the past fortnight Southern
pig iron is now established on level $3.50
above the $3.50 low point of the year for
No. g while in northern irons the advance
has been about 81. or to $3.50. The stand
for $12 taken by the southern furnaces was
quickly responded to in the north, with in
dications that the gap between delivered
prices of the two sections will soon be
wiped out entire1ys1I ! s3TJ1ss4 -
The week has added another heavy IN
stallment to the tonnage of pig iron sales
that in the past month have exceeded any
months record since the summer or 19ol
There has been considerable inquiry 1or
iron for the first quarter of 1905, and FUR
naces have sold cOnServatively Tor that
delivery. Business for the second quarter
is also under negotiation. At Chicago 5000
tons of iron has been taken in the past
week on scale up in prices, ana southern
iron has been established at $lZ BirminS-
ham for No. 2.
In the cast furnacemen who met at Phil
adelphia ten days ago to hear the report

full in securing freight reductions from the
railroads went home to find inquiries COM
ing in from all directions Basic iron ad-
vanced 80 cents in the week, sales being
made at $3.50 at furnace.
In the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
the position of the merchant furnaces is
very strong. They are practically sold up
to January 1, and are asking higher prices
than those of a week ago for both foundry
and Bessemer irons. A large inquiry for
Bessemer iron for shipment to Buffalo is
reported, following purchases of Bessemer
by the same interest from association fur
naces two weeks ago. At the moment

ing an advance to take effect January 1.
The restoration of the So a ton extra for
forging billets, which was taken off at the
last meeting, reflects the strengthening in

tend to finished materials. Merchant pipe
