demand and a large turnover
While the green bug has ruined
wheat and oats in Texas, the situation
in Kansas and the southwest general
ly is excellent and the impression
seems to be that damage reports have
been considerably exaggerated for
market effect. In the south prepar-
atoms are progressing under favorable
soil conditions for a large cotton
acreage.
In the pigiron. market buyers and
sellers seem TO be maneuvering for
positions as regards prices, and while
little new business has been placed
except in the Birmingham district, the
undertone appears to be stronger.
Production in February was below
| that of January, but the daily output
during the first named month increas-
ed somewhat over Januarys, the lar
gest part being furnished by the lead
ing interest and not by the merchant
furnaces, whose product has the most
influence on the open market. All
finished lines are very active, with
specifications coming in freely. Pipes
and tubes are in brisk request and the
leading interest has Withdrawn prices
and notified the trade that no orders
will be taken for shipment this side of
June 1. Sheet and TIN plate mills were
| never so rushed and fancy premiums
pre- vail.
In the wool market firmness pre-
walls and interest centers in foreign
grades, arrivals of which are very
heavy. Stocks of domestic wool are
very small, though sales thereof are
of moderate proportions and many
grades are cleaned up. The mills are
still running on worsteds and staple
woods are in good demand.

Cincinnati, O., March 16.-The Ma

PREMIUMS PAID.
Users Of Structural Iron Ready

The Crop Situation Is Excellent
Except in Texas.

New York, March 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Spring trade is making a most salts
factory comparison with the volume at
this time last year, except in a Few
sections, where the weather is still nn-
favorable, and mercantile collections
improve steadily despite the high mon
ey market. Leading industries have or
ders covering production well into the
future, especially cotton~ factories ana
steel mills, while the output OF pig iron
when the month opened was close 10
the largest on record.
High prices in the footwear industry
have checked placing of contracts for
fall shoes at New England factories,
some decline in prices of hides and
leather encouraging buyers to delay or
dering the finished product, but most
mills are still busy on spring goods.
Prices are we'll maintained in all sec
lions of the iron and steel industry,
premiums being frequently offered for
prompt delivery, but orders are seldom
accepted on these terms because OF the
oversold condition of mills and furnaces
There is a nominal difference of about
81 per ton between spot and thfrd-quar-
ter business, but scarcely any sales are
made at the higher figure because little
iron is available for prompt shipment.
Domestic steel rail business is sup
plemented by large requirements by
South America and Japan that may be
filled in this market if satisfactory oe-
liveries can be arranged.
Textile mills are producing at a re-
markable rate without threatening any
accumulation of stocks and advanced
prices for cotton goods have not check
ed demands.
Premiums above regular quotations
are willingly paid for early shipments,
Most jobbers have not provided for all
of the spring trade, but others VIII not

western jobbers, who still receive liberal
orders. ~ -.
