LARGE SALES OF PIG IRON.
Manufacturers Heavy Buyers at the
Eastern Foundries.

New York, July 1.-The heavy volume
of business in pig iron in the Eastern
territory has been the most prominent
feature in the iron trade during the last
week. Contracts have been placed for
between $4,000 and $4,000 tons of foun-
dry and forge grades by consumers in
the territory east of the Alleganies
Pipe workers have been the most active

$4,000 tons. There were also some pur-
chases and resales of furnace warrant
iron, aggregating about $4,000 tons, in
Guiding No. foundry and No. 2 soft,
at prices ranging from $11 to $11.75 for
No. 8 and SLIPS to $12 for No. 2 soft,
Contracts were also placed by machin-
cry manufacturers and stove founders

for basic iron, and since the last of July
have closed for about 5000 tons for
third quarter shipment.
The total contracts for all kinds of
pig iron placed in the Eastern dis
trict during June aggregated 225,000
tons. Orders for ferro-alloys aggre-
gated about $4,000 tons for shipment

of July there have been 1000 tons of
ferro-manganese and one contract for
10000 tons of spiegeleisen closed for i'm
portation.

making grades, are increasing melt
ing

the largest being 1900 tons for the
Northern Pacific, while the New Haven

which Is the heaviest volume of bust
ness ever placed in similar period
The outlook for the second half OIL
the year In steel products is very en-.
couraging notwithstanding the strike
that has been inausurated at the pre-
yiously union plants of the American
| Sheet and Tin Plate Company and the
labor difficulties on the lakes. In mos
| respects, the industry may be consider
| ed as having returned to norman con
ditions.
