Iron Ane,s Review.

New York. December 2.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The markets have quieted down con- siderably. InN the case of pig iron thls is due to the fact that smelters have bought. the majority of them, in con servative manner as to quantity, for de- livery over the first quarter and partly into the second quarter.
 The furnace interests advanced prices until now buyers, being fairly supplied, await developments and sellers show d good deal of indifference. In the Pitts burg district some merchants are re selling Bessemer and basic iron at con- sessions from the furnace prices.
 In the finished trades the new orders generally speaking have been falling on and some hesitation is developing which is attributed by some authorities to the feeling among buyers that reductions isl the duty on steel may bring an en- forced lowering in prices.
 The steel trade is still tagging The aggregate of sales is moderate and no really large quantities have been placed. It is estimated that during the week ending last Saturday there were placed contracts for structural material aggre- gating 57 600 tons. of which the Ameri- can Bridge company booked SOC0 tons.
 Cleveland shipbuildng interests are to build two additional freighters for which the material, about 27O0 tons, has been placed with the Pittsburg mills. The Car negie Steel company is to furnish the 5000 tons of plates and shapes for the battleship Utah, which is to be built at the yards of the New York Shipbuild- ing company.
 Heavy imports, due to the resumption of the Mexican mines light exports and record domestic production, have been the features of the copper markets late ly. The mills in the Nantucket valley have been busy lately, but the wire trade is not doing relatively as well.

 rial Is Picking Up.

Cleveland. O.. December 2.-(Speciai)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Buying of steel cars in goodly numbers for various railroad interests has given reason for the belief that the placing oi contracts for equipment will soon be an important feature of the market. Il IS generally believed. however. that import ant developments cannot be expected dur ine the present month, possibly not until snrine. although a reasonable increase in business is anticipated. The Steel cor poration has finished shipments or ron ore for the season, the total being l4'zoV'- oOO tons. a decrease of S,S0o'Wo loiis compared with last year. The Aeaoz ing cast iron pipe interest Is ln lie market for pig iron, and may close lor 10000 tons this week In the Phtladelphla market negotiations are in progress Tor +ba nurcbase of 10000 tons of basic.
 Tn most centers. however, inquiries are not numerous and sales are light, but quotations are well maintained Orders for steel cars include 1000 for the Grand Trunk. 275 for the American Steel and Wire company and 16O for the Brming- ham Southern. all taken by the Pressed Steel Car company, an additional order of 800 for the Pttsburg and Lake Erie, which will be made by the American Car and Foundry company; 800 for the Western Maryland railroad. to be turned out by the Cambria Steel company purchases Of rails include 13,OO0 for the Central of New Jersey, and an order of 120O tons of open hearth rails which will be the first open hearth rails rolled at the South Chicago works of the Illinois Steel company. Or ders for 5O,OOO cases of spikes and bolts have been placed during the past six weeks. 13 new lake freighters have been ordered and figures are now being pre- pared on the great Equitable building in New York. which will require about 5O,- 900 tons of steel. The American Bridge company is ordering 10,5oo tons of struet- ural material for the third open-hearth steel plant to be erected at Gary.
