IRON CONTRACTS
 ARE VERY HEAVY Some Big Concerns Have Trou-
 bIe In Filling Orders BILLET FAMINE IN EAST Some Shippers Predict That in Spite of Strike on the Lakes, Seasons Shipments Will Equal Those
 of the Record Year.

Cleveland, O., July 14-(Special. 1.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 New signs of increasing prosperity are constantly appearing. but times of pros perity bring their troubles as well as periods of depression, and some large con- cerns are having much trouble in filling their contracts.
 One independent concern purchased 500C tons of bars from a Steel Corporation company, but the specifications for a con- siderable tonnage did not prove satisfac- tory and only part of the order will be filled.
 Tbere Is almost billet fame in the east. A most interesting development of the scrap situation is the decision of an important eastern steel producer to start some Bessemer capacity, later running the product through the open hearth fur naces to avoid the use of scrap.
 Thorough investigation shows that esti- mates last week of sales to the leading harvester, radiator and cast iron pipe in- terests were too low and it is now clear that over 100000 tons were purchased by those interests during the first week of July.
 The International Harvester company has made some additional purchases with In few days in steel-making iron, the leading harvester interest has purchased 5000 tons of basic, and a Pittsburg. con cern has contracted for 1900 Announcement concerning an important transaction in Bessemer metal is expect ed soon. Larger sales of ore are being made and the output for the season is much encouraging.
 Some shippers are predicting that in spite of the strike in the lakes and other drawbacks. this seasons shipments will equal those of the record year 1807 while it is freely predicted that 1910 will see a tremendous movement, amounting to 50,- o0O,0O0 tons.
 Bookings on structural shapes are not so numerous as they have been, but speci- ficatfons on contracts are excellent Among recent new contracts are lock gates for the Panama canal, 1900 tons. the United Engineering and Foundry company, Prick building, East Liberty, Pa; 1500 tons tc the Carnegie Steel company, sheet piline for an irrigation plant at Helena, Mon tan, 1890 tons; the Jones & Laughlin Stee company, First National bank building Denver, 1900; the Minneapolis Steel and | Machinery company.
