Iron Age Report

New TOrk, August 2-tSpecial)-Th Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The tenor of reports from steel sell ing and producing centers is still fla vorable. With no lines showing mark ed activity in new demand production goes on at a good rate and some pro- ducers hay courage enough to look not only for a continuance of the pace reached in the second half of July, but for an increase in the fall months.
 For the present week the steel cor pora ton scheduled 76 per cent of it's ingot capacity for operation, and for d part of the past week produced 4S,000 gross tons of steel ingots a day. This is at a yearly rate of 14.300,000 tons, whereas the record production of the corporation was 14,179,000 tons In 1910.
 In steel bars, wire products and gal vanized sheets price variations have been reported and latterly there have been similar intimations concerning plates. Following the recent steel bar contracts by implement and wagon manufa cturers. the 1.25 cent basis at Pittsburg is more generally held.
 Wrought pipe and wire have been the two laggard lines of late, but the former gives a better account of itself this week in contracts for about 100 miles of oil and gas pipe, with an in quiry for SO 10 so miles of 12-inch pipe for Oklahoma.
 An Indiana wire compnay is in the market for ,000 to 50, 900 tons of rod billets for delivery over the next six months.
 The foundry pig iron market is more active a Buffalo and Chicago reports good for inquiry foundry and malleable irons
 Southern producers ask $10.50 for NO 2 iron where deliveries run into 1912 but melters are not entering on that ground though some of them have evil dently bought iron at lower prices, which will last into the new year, though shipment will be made in 1911,
 A St. Louis inquiry for 10000 tons of basic iron for the first half of 1912 has come out, but the trade is quite at sea as to the prices to be asked.

PIG IRON IS ACTIVE

Cleveland. O., August 2-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: In mill operations and sales Of finished products July made better record than June. The opening days of this month give promise of still further improvement There is. however, con tinued irregularity in prices. especially of plates, sheets and steel bars.

During the past week the steel corporation was active at 72 per cent of ingot capacity.

 pig iron stocks of the steel corporation were reduced 23,O0o tons last week. The Cambria Steel company is operating all of its blast furnaces and open hearth capacity. Efforts of some of the south ern furnaces to advance quotations on pig iron on the base of s10.25 to s105 Birmingham for No. have resulted in checking the buying, and s10 iron is still available. In the east an inquiry for 5000 tons of basic Is pending, and will probably so to Virginia makers. Three inquiries for malleable in the Chicago district aggregate 10000 tons. The leading cast iron pipe company IS reported to have purchased a consider able tonnage in the south. A central Pennsylvania consumer is reported to have closed for a round tonnage of foundry and forge iron. Details of the transactions are not available.
