As an evidence of the demand for iron 1t is to be noted that on the first of July last year there were 5000 tons of iron in warrant yards as well as fair surplus stocks at the furnaces. Today there Is practically no iron on hand at the fur naces-indeed many furnaces are still be- hind on orders-while warrant stocks have been reduced to about 5000 tons In other words. production while at high water mark has not been able to keep up with consumption, and the reserve stocks of the country have been called upon to supply the deficiency.

 Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati re- port for the current week follows:
 Inquiry for April and May delivery is good but the tonnage is not large. Most of the purchases have been made to contracts and buyers are preferrlng 10 follow waiting policy before contracting for any length of time ahead Neither buyer nor sellers appear anxious to take the initiative. The situation, in face of the enormous consumption and recently decreased production. is most unusual and might almost be said to be without pre- cedent. It has already been stated this year that the prospect for consumption during 1906 looks larger now than at any time since the first of January. In gen. eral It would take very small im- petus to start an excellent buying move ment
 At this writing. trouble in connection with the coal strike situation seems inn minent and this is having an appreciable effect In some quarters, not so much be- cause of the direct result of activities in general from such a movement, as the preparations which have been made for A but more on account of the uncertainties which are just now ahead and which must be solved one way or another be- tween now and April l. The precautions which have taken in anticipation of any difficulty in this way are more general and manufacturers better prepared to withstand the effects of coal strike and Its attendant effect on commercial activ- ity than ever before.
 The demand for coke is active and there is considerable pressure for deliveries right up to contract requirements. This in addition to sales for spot shipment, has kept the market in good shape and shows conclusively the efforts being made on the part of buyers to discount any lack of supply should there be trouble with the miners.
 Matthew Addy and Companys Cincin- natl report for the week says:
 Because of the fear of a coal strike there has been good deal more inter est this week in coke than in pig iron. Coke has been in fine demand. and there is on the part of users an effort every where to accumulate stock ahead. As for iron, there has been nothing except an uneventful retail trade. However, there Is large inquiry, and the num- Der of buyers who are preparing to pur- chase is large.
 Everywhere consumers are rushed. We hear from them no complaints of poor business. On the contrary many of
