OUTLOOK
 FOR IRON TRADE Increased Activity Is Shown In
 Nearly All Lines MORE PLANTS WORKING Prospects for Better Prices Are of the Best and Orders for Steel and
 Iron Products Are ln-
 creasing Fast.
MORE PLANTS WORKING

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2S.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say;
 Increased activity in both pig iron and finished lines with the exception of rails is being well maintained through out the country and there is less dispo- sition on the part of mills and furnaces to quote the very low prices that have been prevailing.
 The effect of large sales made during the past two weeks is being shown in the increased capacity in operation, es- pecially in the Chicago and Pittsburg districts
 The Carnegie Steel company's bar. plate and shape mills are working so per cent and the tonnage in plates and shapes received last week was very heavy. The Jones ,& Laughlin Steel company is working it's furnaces and steel works at full capacity and the steel works of the Republic Iron and steei com pany and other companies are very busy
 Some sales of Lake Superior ron ore have been made with the guarantee that buyers will be given the benefit of any reduction in prices that may be an nounced later
 For the most part, however, ore trans actions have been confined to reserVa- lions without contracts being actually signed.
 It does not seem probable that lower prices will prevail. The Tennessee coal Iron and Railroad company has With drawn it's s11 price on pig iron and has recently sold 10000. the latter sales De- ing at s115O which is now the pre- yailing price for the southern product.
 In the north pig iron prices are also somewhat firmer. Sales include z4Voo tons for a Massillon cost iron pipe con eern. 15OOO tons of malleable in eastern territory, 10000 tons of basic sold by Il northern Ohio furnace and 13,5OO tons Of foundry and malleable grades to the ln- ternational Harvester company.
 Sales of structural material for April are estimated at 100000, of which about 19o GOO went to the independent companies and 10000 to the American Bridge com nanv including the 15,00 tons Tor the Curtis building. Philadelphia.
 On steel bars, the disposition Is be- ing manifested by the mills not to make the very low quotations whch nave re- centlv prevailed and buyers are more anxious than sellers to make contracts for extended delivery.
 The 1Oc quotation, Pittsburg, IS rap idly disappearing and ll5c IS now the prevailing quotation
 On wire products the official schedule of the principal producer is being freely shaded the cutting on nalls and wire usuallv being about g per ton. The Steel corporation was the low bidder on oooOO tons of rails for Argentina, but the pus- mess has not been placed.
 The Carnegie Steel company has sold to the Pennsylvania railroad 54oo tons or rails and the Illinois Steel company nas sold 5000 tons to the Northern Paclhc and sOO0 to the Chesapeake and Ohio.
 The new rail mills at Gary will roll h. noa fa, railroad in Montana.
