THE IRON AGE REVIEW

New York, March 31-Southern iron
makers, we'll filled rs they are with or
ders until well toward July, have been
taking a moderate additional tonnage
says the Iron Age, on the basis Of $40 for
No. 2 foundry, Birmingham. Some occa-
Stonal sales, however, are still being made
at $975. 1t is the northern makers who
have been taking a relatively larger
amount Of orders lately the whole mar
ket being decidedly firmer both on foun-
dry and forge pig iron.
The whole eastern iron trade is watch
ing with keen interest the developments
IN the placing of the contracts for cast
ings for the Pennsylvania tunnel. Some
low prices are being talked Of.
Bessemer pig in the central west is
firm and the product is being taken free
ly. Next week will decide whether the
option on 100000 tons additional metal
will be awaited of by the United States
Steel corporation.
Quite a tonnage of low PHOSPHORUS pig
iron. aggregating at least 10000 tons, has
been sold by furnace men in eastern
Pennsylvania to casting plants for deliv-
cry in one case as far as Ohio, and In
another case as far as the Boston district.
The sales have been at prices equivalent
to $18.25 and $3.50, Philadelphia.
The car and locomotive builders are
getting occasional good orders and the
prospect Is brighter in that direction. In
structural material the more favorable
outlook is clouded by labor troubles in
New York.
