MUCH ACTIVITY IN STEEL

market report for the week ending June
"a says:
In spite Of an increased number of IN
ouiries and present low prices, some foun-
drymen are holding out for lower figures
than the furnaces are willing to con-
slider, and business remains unplaced.
AS the first of July approaches. the con-
viction becomes stronger that turning
point is near at hand, and the develop
ments during the next four weeks VIII
be watched with much interest.
One or two inquiries of size have been
out the past week, but actual business of
any magnitude is wanting. 1t appears
state of the market and there is con-
siderable speculation as to what will be
it's trend in the near future. This has not
stimulated sales to any extent Activity
in all lines of heavier manufacture or
steel continues at the same remarkable
rate which has held steadily since the be-
ginning of the year, and operating rec
ords are being broken on all sides.
Coke is without noticeable change,
either in price or tonnage output. The de-
mand continues good.
Matthew Addy & Co.'S pig iron report
for the week of June 10 to "a says;
Compared with the complete inactivity
which prevailed in the market lew
weeks ago considerable is doing at the
present time There is not as much new
business as sellers would like to see, but
there is a steady run of orders. These
orders are mainly for immediate SHIP
ment. In fact, consumers who are buying
as a rule have allowed their stocks to
run down to such an extent that they
are asking for almost instantaneous deliy-
cries.
Inquiry is very large. but this big in
auiry has not yet materialized into actual
business.
Coke is in very much better shape than
pig iron in that there are heavy actual
| transaction and a continued brisk de-
mand.
| 1t is very evident that buyers are still
DISPOSED TO move with exceeding caution
| but it is also evident that consumption
is enormous, and that before long pur-
chasing win have to begin ON an extensive
scale. Consumers cannot indefinitely re-
main out of the market.
