ONLY A MODERATE
 DEMAND FOR IRON
LARGE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN PRODUCERS SOLD l-AHEAn-oE- LIvERIEs eonle FORWARD REG ULARLY.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report of yesterdays date says:
 There has been only a moderate de- mand for pig iron during the past week. excepting a purchase of about 5000 tons by large consumer. There is A good out look for the future in this immediate ter ritory, as this city has received bids on a large quantity of pipe to be used for the completion of the new water works.
 A large majority of the southern pro- ducers are sold ahead until July, but we hear of one or two furnace1 willing to shade price of s1O Birmingham for No. 2 foundry for immediate or nearby deliv- cries. It is to be noted that deliv- cries are now going forward regularly on orders that were placed some time ago. indicating that the Iron bought Is being consumed It is very seldom that requests are made to suspend shipments; on the contrary there are frequent demands made to hurry forward the iron.
 The delay In fixing price on lake ore for this year has had a tendency to delay purchases of iron for future delivery.
 The coke market Is quiet but prices are being well maintained.
