THE IRON TRADE
Reported by Rogers, Brown & Co.
'And interest.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The event of
the week is the purchase by the Pittsburg
Steel company of 200. 900 tons of billets
divided between the Carnegie Steel com
pany and the Republic Steel and Iron COM
pany. This trade at first took the form of
conversion deal on theslines of that ar
ranged last summer. but eventually a
straight purchase of billets was substi-
tuted.
The eastern market has been rather
quiet during the past week. No sales OF
basic or bessemer iron of moment are
recorded. but inquiries are not for a large
tonnage for the third quarter. There has
been the usual run OF scattering orders for
foundry iron. Activity has mostly CEN
tered in the central west-in Pittsburg
again heavy transactions of bessemer and
basic have been made, deliveries to run
into the third quarter and i'm some cases
throughout the entire year. A fair volume
of foundry business comes from that sec
ton.
By cables We learn of sales aggregating
probably 1000 tons Scotch foundry pig
IRON, made for shipment to the United
States. but so far we have no confirma-
only be obtained where the iron is for use
in export work.
There have been lots of spot furnace
coke offered in slight concessions on the
market for extended deliveries second
quarter and forward. Sales are being made

prices. Connellsville foundry coke is
quotable at 50 90. although some makers
are demanding as high as 50. 80 per ton.

SEEDING Is GENERAL

In Minnesota and the Dakotas the condi-
tons Tor seeding are reported as about
perfect. In the last days of February and
| early in March the weather was so warm
and ground in such fine condition that
considerable seeding was done at that
time. but later frosty and cold weather
put stop TO the work for a while and
now again seeding operations are in fun
swing The season is about two weeks
ahead OF the average and with this early
start the farmers are hopeful of getting
the wheat crop matured to such an extent
that the hot winds of July and August
cannot again infiict the damage of last
In North Dakota the weather has been

SNOWMAN the past winter has been light
In this state and there is some complaint
of a lack of moisture in parts of the state
but rains within a few weeks will give the
required wetness. Some who have care
fully observed weather conditions in North
Dakota say that this lack of snow is a
sign that there will be a deficiency dur
ing the season and that the only way TO
avoid loss through heat and drought in
July is TO put in the crop in March. The
acreage of land plowed is large and the
prospects for large crop are excellent. II
cellent condition of the fields and the high
price of wheat the wheat area will be un-
usually large.
In South Dakota the ground is in ex-
cellent conditions for seeding operations.
The clear. windy weather of the last few
days has dried off the surface to such an
extent that the work of seeding will not
be impeded in the least in practically the
entire state.
The recent heavy rains. following the
melting of the unusually heavy fan of
snow the latter part of the winter. have
thoroughly saturated the soil below the
surface, making ideal conditions for pros
ecuting the work of seeding.
If present conditions mean anything,
everything points to an unusually favor
able season, with the probability that
crops this year will be of the bumper va
riety.
Favorable weather in view of the early
seeding should place the small grain crops
out of danger before the extremely hot
weather which invariably is experienced
in the month of July.-Market Record.

Washington-Dollar wheat is neces-
sary for the farmers in Iowa, Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska TO begin growing
wheat again on an extensive scale. said
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture.
Great wheat fields along the northern
border refuse to grow wheat. and unless
the American farmers change their meth
cd OF growing this product there will be
a large decrease in the yield OF bread
stuffs. The day cannot long be postpon-
ed. notwithstanding the farmers of the
northwest believe they have solved the
problem by letting the lands lie idle for
one year and growing n crop of wheat
every other year. At present the average
production of wheat TO the acre is II
bushels. while in Europe the farmers
grow 80. If the wheat farmers of the
great northwest expect to grow wheat at
a profit they must rotate their crops.

small tracts. but next week will see the

of wheat is expected this year. as farmers
last summer were so successful in growing
this grain. 1t has also been proved by

THE WORLDS WHEAT

March S.-The general tone of the wheat

COMPARATIVE WHEAT CONDITIONS

The present crop year in the northwest
is similar in many respects TO that of
1889. In that year the crop was short
and prices so much above an export basis
that very little flour or wheat was sent
abroad. In that year the government
report estimated for Dakota % per cent
of the crop on hand March l. which
amounted to something over 10. O0O. 600 bu.
This year from much larger crop in the
Dakotas the government gives 20 per cent
for South Dakota and 10 per cent for
North Dakota. or total of lS.440. 900 bu.
Opinions vary now as then as to how near
this estimate is TO the real facts. Min
nesota had $4,000 bu on hand March /.
1889, according to the government report
and the present year this state is given
l6, 600 blu. about the same percentage
but the crop was larger the past season.
In 1889 estimates placed the amount of
wheat in the country elevators and mills
at 6.450,0O0 for Minnesota and Dakota.
and the past month from reports received
by the Market Record. there is in country
elevators and mills 4 little over 10000
600 blu March /.
The second week in April. 1889, saw the
collapse of wheat prices to an eXporta BILE
basis. The reaS son of the collapse was the
line rains over the winter wheat country
with the generally good condition of the
winter wheat plant. and the exhaustion of
stocks in the northwest while still be-
lieved in. the fact entirely disappeared
from view in the large movement of
son the wheat receipts at this point have
continued on a much larger scale than was
looked for. This crop year to March 1.
Minneapolis received $50. 600 bu more
wheat than came here in the crop year of
the previous season.

EARLY SEEDING

That seeding is commenced much in ad-
vance of a year ago will be seen by COM
pariSon with last year In South Dakota
in March last year there was no field work
done except in some of the extreme south
eastern counties, and the month closed
with the frost not yet out of the ground
in the northern counties and in the last of
April seeding of spring wheat and oats
had only been completed TO the middle
counties. Spring rye and speltz We're near
ly all seeded and quite large amount OF
barley was seeded to this time.
The seeding of spring wheat and oats
was not completed i'm the state until the
middle of May and at that time the SOW
ing of flax and millet had only begun.
Corn planting was backward and retarded
by rain, but was about finished by the 18th
of May. 1t will be seen by the above that
prospects for a good crop year now are
much in advance of the past season. With
this early breaking up il will hardly be
more than what would be expected If there
are occasional setbacks and If seeding be
delayed for few days at time by frosty
weather. This early beginning of seeding
gives a feeling of security that the crop
of wheat will be far enough along to
Withstand the drought and heat of July
which wrought such havoc i'm what till
that time was looked upon as an excellent
crop in the season just passed.
