Review Of Iron and Steel Market

Thus Tar November has not develop
ed any increase in the volume of BUSH
ness Tor finished steel products but the
mills are encouraged TO expect an inn
proyement IN the placing OF contracts
for railroad equipment before the
month is out. This refers more 10
rails and cars than to bridge and other
structural work Last week orders
were placed for $50 cars, mainly by
industrial roads and provision is being
made for building i25 more at the
shops of the railroads these will call
for about 10 600 toms of structural!
material. New inquiries have been is
sued tor S13 more cars and the Pitts
burg. Shawmut a. Northern is prepar
ing plans for $500 cars. Thus busi-
ness Is in sight for about 10. cars.
Oruers were placed for twelve locomo
tiyes and ten more are in the market
The Erie has reserved space for 80 600
tons of rails for 1911 shipment and the
mills have reason TO expect contracts
for several hundred thousand tons more
tor next year. possibly before the close
OF 1910.
In structural lines business was very
light and the prospect is not favorable
for an increase in tonnage in Novem
Der or December. Specifications for
fabricated steel tor the week we're only
10, 900 tons.
Contracts for pig iron called for only
about half the tonnage placed during
the preceding week. In the Eastern
districts large individual contracts
were placed. but orders for about 30.
600 tons OF foundry grades were secur-
ed from consumers, mainly in New
England and New Jersey, including
manufacturers OF plumbers supplies,
OF valves, machinery and machine
tools .Iobbing founders ana malleable
works also placed few orders, but
there was less demand from pipe works
or stove founders. There are small
changes in prices. The outputs in Oc-
tober, ID is estimated, decreased be
tween 40. 900 and 30. 900 tons but more
furnaces will blow out this month.
