THE IRON INDUSTRY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio June S.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
The pig iron market continues quiet
but firm. A large selling concern reports
in New England will require no more
iron until the fourth quarter and that
about Go per cent are covered through
the year.. Another company reports SIM
liar conditions as to its customers In
northern New York. In New York city
considerable iron will be needed before
the close of the year TO meet the ex-
pected demand. the amount of unSold iron
in this country is not large. and prices
are we'll maintained in England where
stocks are being steadily reduced.
The coke market shows little improve
ment. as production continues to be in
excess of demand The old material mar
ket is in rather better condition than
usual at this time OF the year. but trans
actions among dealers form a consider
able part of the business being done.
The threat of blast furnace workers
of the valleys to demand decrease in
hours and an increase In wages, which
would cause an advance of 81 per cent
of labor costs, is not causing uneaslneSS
among furnace owners. as the leader Of
the largest labor organizations of the
country. The strike of machinists at
San Francisco has been settled without
increase in wages and with the under
standing that shorter hours are to be
granted in three years The firm stand
of employers at Pittsburg has broken
the strike of machinists In that city. and
Cleveland employers are determined to
resist the demands of their machiuists,
who are now idle.
