up their minds as to what Ia the best policy
to follow as to buying ahead. Founders are
buying small tonnages. The steel makers
are out for all the metal they can get Sellers

last week as the dullest within eight months
In this they were mistaken. for while no large
orders for iron were taken. the steady book
ing OF SIN all lots summed up TO considerable
tonnage for the week. and from Friday noon
ill the close Of business on Saturday orders
for coke rolled in by wire and telephone for
such large amounts that the sellers were
astonished. One Arm sold ?5.OO0 tons of coke
