IRON AND STEEL
TRADE ACTIVE
Prices Being Raised as New
Business Comes In-ACtiVity
in Structural Shapes.

New York. Aug. Activity and
strength continued to be the features of
the iron and steel trade throughout the
week. Sales of foundry iron aggregated
about 1000 tons, but only about 10000 tons
Of steel-making iron have been sold be-
cause consumers are not yet ready to
meet the advanced position of the furnaces
having basic iron to sell for the last quar-
ter Of this year.
In steel products the greatest activity
has been in steel plates and shapes and
fabricated material. Some independent
structural mills have advanced their min
imum on shapes to S1-40, but there are a
number of quotations of $l.35 stlll out
which would be respected.
For all new business the Carnegie Steel
company is now asking S1.30 for bars and
81 80 for plates and shapes. The American
Steel & Wire company advanced prices or
nails and other wire products 81 per ton,
as anticipated, and the National Tube
vance Of 81 per ton on steel pipe on Mon
day.
Railroads have placed only small orders
for rails, including 1900 for the Santa Fe
and 1900 for the Denver & Rio Grande,
but they have placed contracts for 1000
additional cars and 1900 are now under
negotiations, one-third being for the
Pennsylvania and One-third for the Balti-
more K Ohio.
There has been a rush to place orders for
fabricated steel and also to furnish speci-
fications on old contracts to obtain ship
ment al the earliest possible time. Compe-
titiOn is still keen.
Contracts during the week have aggre-
gated 5000 tons. making a total for the
month of 10000 tons
During the month northern pig iron has
advanced 10 cents to 81 and southern
iron 81 to $50 per ton.

PATENT TREATY.

Washington, Aug. IA reciprocal pat
ent treaty between the United States and
Germany of far-reaching Importance to
the commercial world was simultaneously
promulgated at noon today by President
Taft and the emperor of Germany.
The effect of the convention will be
that American manufacturers viii be re-
iieved of the existing requirement that in
order to sell their products IN Germany
they must manufacture them on the basis
of patents in Germany, which called for
investments Of large sums of money in
maintaining duplicate plants.
Inventors viii greatly benefit from the
fact that the treaty relieves them from
the German restrictions under which their
patents have hitherto been forfeited if
not actually worked in Germany within
three Eears.
