Review By the Iron Age

New York. November 9.-(Special)- The Iron Age will say tomorrow; Leaders in the iron trade are now sim ply waiting for events, with no def mite expectation of anything beyond what has already been indicated con- corning rail purchases In making up their orders for 1911 the railroads are only making the usual provision for early rollings to insure spring deliv- cries.
 Curtainment of pig iron production continues, but steel companies have done all of it in the past month Of merchant furnaces as many blow in as go out. The United States Steel cor poration now has 50 furnaces out. as against 45 on October l. The inde- pendent steel companies blew out five furnaces in october. The Steel cor portation will blow out one Duquesne and one Edgar Thomson furnace this
 week and will bank one at Bellaire.
 It's active furnace capacity, now 6S per cent. will then be about 61 per cent. In October the total output of coke | and anthracite pig iron was 2,087,- l 3S5 gross tons. or at the rate of 67,- 355 tons day. This compares with 6S,542 tons a day in September and Is the smallest rate since July, 1909. The active capacity at the opening of this month was 65,S2e tons day for PSI furnaces, or 17o0 tons less than for 239 furnaces on October 1. Pig iron production November l was at the rate of 24,350,0 tons @ year, or about l. 400 900 tons less than the average of 1907 and 1909.
 Bessemer iron has broken through s15 at valley furnace, and one round lot was sold for delivery in the first half of 1911 at $14. 60 Inquiry for basic iron Is pending in the east, but furnaces and buyers are some distance apart.
 Tn most finished materials the week has shown a falling off, both in new orders and specifications. While a hopeful view prevails. it Is admitted that there must be marked quicken ing of the pace to insure evet fair operation of the mills this winter.
