WEEKLY REVIEW
NEW INDUSTRIES FORMED IN
DIxIELAND DURING THE PAST
WEEK.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 22.-Com-
menting on conditions in the iron and
steel market The Tradesman of this
week says:
An unprecedented condition pre-
walls in the Southern pig iron and steel
market There is an activity in the
buying for the month of December that
has never been felt before and what
has been going on and promises to
continue for a few days at least yet
is creating d good feeling among the
manufacturers. Inquiries are in hand
which may not be consummated until
tbe- coming year. during the first three
months of 1912, but there has been
enough business booked already to
warrant steady operations next year
and to arouse the belief that before
the end of the first half the make
will have to be supplying the demand
alone, the accumulated stock to be
wiped off.
The quotations during the month of
December have taken on strength as
well as an advance. No iron sells now
in the Southern territory under $40
per ton, No. foundry basis. For de-
livery during the second quarter of
the coming year some of the manufac-
turers are asking $1,000 per ton and
for the latter part of 1912 it is init
mated the price may go to or beyond
81 per ton. The immense amount
of iron already sold ahead is crafty
ing, so far as the tonnage goes.
The steady operation of the blast
iron furnaces into many months to
come means a steady operation in
mining and allied circles
