Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati mar
ket report says:
The reports of production for April
show an increase of about 1000 tons over
the previous month With a slight addi-
ton to furnace stocks, prac tically all
in the south the net result shows an
increase in consumption over March. In
the main, all districts report light bust
ness Most of the sales are for immed-
late shipment or delivery during the
third quarter, and as the buyers are
practically all covered until July l, little
change is looked for until June. Iron is
moving freely and shipments on existing
orders are being taken right up to con-
tract requirements; in some instances an
ticipated shipments are being called for.
The desire seems to be to get in promptly
all the material bought. Consumers who
have covered for the last half are very
small in number, and as the condition of
their order books is such as will keep
them busy through the year, it Is only
fair to presume that they will give at
tenton to buying for the last six months
at an early date. The present lull is only
one of buying, and there are no indi-
cations of a decrease in actual consump-
ton. Such activity can only promise well
for the future.

PIC IRON TRADE
UNUSUALLY DULL
Buyers Are Staying Out of the
Market
COKE IS BOUGHT FREELY
Present LuII In Iron Is Only One OF
Buying and There Are Mo lndl-
cations of Decrease In
Consumption.
COKE is BOUGHT FREELY

Matthew Addy Co.'S pig iron report,
for the week says;
There is really something very near
approaching a deadlock in the pig IRON
trade Just now. Buyers to a very large
extent are staying out of the market
Sellers. while willing to meet any rea-
sonable views are not attempting in any
way to force the situation. Consequent
" very little is being done. OF course
there Is a steady retail trade, but trans
actions of any magnitude are few and
far between
In the matter of coke however the
situation is different. Coke is being bought
freely for prompt or long forward deliv-
cry, and in small and in large lots. In
fact the coke situation is the exact OPP
posite of the pig iron situation.
The satisfies for April have just been
made public. and show that there was
a decline In production of 5000 tons and
an increase in available furnace stocks
for sale of 1900 tons. Without any
doubt at all the stocks on hand in con-
sumers yards were heavily decreased
last month, and it is a fair presumption
that the total amount of pig iron on
hand In the country in spite of this lit
tie increase of stocks in furnace yards
is less today by considerable tonnage
than it was a month ago. 1t is evident
from a close study of the statistics that
today consumption and production are
about evenly balanced. Both are unpre-
cedentedly large. There is every reason
to expect that consumption will keep on
at this present high rate In fact as the
year progresses consumption will prob
ably increase, whereas production in all
likelihood will be decreased rather than
increased Furnaces have to go out to
be refined, unforeseen accidents occur,
and if three or four of the large mod
ern furnaces were to be forced out this
month the nice adjustment between con
sumption and production that now exists
would be changed.
