IRON SUPPLY NOT
EQUAL To DEMAND
Situation is Said to Be Most
TantaIizing
SPOT PRICES ARE FANCY
Iron for First Quarter, Quoted at $40
to $21 and for Second Quarter
at $3.50 to S19-Great
Activity.

The iron market continues high and ex-
cited. Spot will bring any price around
s25. First quarter iron is quoted at $40
to $21 on a No. 2 basis and second quar-
ter at s17.5O to s19. Iron production is
being pushed to it's possible capacity but
the supply is far short of the demand.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report
for the current week follows:
Every few days see a higher level
reached in pig iron price. and the ton
mage placed for 1907 delivery is increas-
ing. The tonnage for the third quarter and
last half of next year is being looked into
but is not yet of general enough char
acter to warrant any kind of stable mar
ket futures. Each furnace choosing to
quote on such business does so accord
ing to their own ideas and there is III
consequence, a large range in quotations.
The brisk trading being done is for the
second quarter, and in some instances for
the first half. Business for the first quar-
ter of next year is at a standstill on ac-
for that period. Spot iron In all districts
continues to bring increased prices and
odd lots of off grades are being readily
taken and prompt use made of them. So
far the high prices which have been reg
istered do not seem to be affecting con-
sumption in the least. The urgent demand
of consumers for iron on contracts con-
tinues undated. 1t is believed that con-
sumption generally has seen no set back
as yet although prices ruling are higher.
Specialties like rro-Manganese, Fer
ro-Silicon and high silicon foundry irons.
have been influenced and have acted in
during the last week
Each day brings up more forcibly the
serious lack of skilled labor everywhere
and the absolute lack Of adequate labor
in even the most unskilled lines of work
to carry on the greatly increased oper
alton of industries of all kinds. All EN-
ployers just now feel very keenly the
relative inefficiency of labor which seems
to have come about with the recent pros
perity. The difficulty of getting work
passably we'll done, or even done at all,
seems TO ne tlle greatest urdWDack WHICH
our industries are now feeling. Conditions
now seem to warrant the opinion that
is expressed by most consumers that
good foundry iron will rule high in price
during 1907. For some time consumption
has been way ahead of production in
domestic iron and as even the steel
makers view the basic and Bessemer
propositions, consumption of these is gain
ing tremendously on production so that
prices will undoubtedly rule higher
through next year.
Heavy coke buying for next year keeps
up and the reports from leading districts
indicate that troubles which they have
been having with car supply and lack
of labor will continue and tend to keep
total production down. Prices are strong
with advancing tendency advances hav-
ing been made at one or two points.
