Cleveland Demand Has More
 Life Than Usual
EFFECT FELT ON COKE
Blast Furnace Operations in Detail. Indications for This Half Year Are More Cheerful Than
 January Outlook

New York, July 5.-(Special.) 1.-The Iron Age will say tomorrow: Very complete | reports from blast furnace operators to the Iron Age show an output in June ot 1,7S7,566 gross. tons of coke and anthra- cite pig iron in the United States. against | 1, 1893, 456 tons in May. The daily output in June was 59,5S5 tons, which is l4si tons under the daily rate in May. This Is the lowest production of any month since January, when the daily output was 56,- 752 tons. The furnaces in blast July l numbered 197, against 90S in blast June l. and their estimated daily capacity was 5s,- 979 tons against 6l,S44 tons June l.
 The indications for the coming half year are much more cheerful than those of last January. while the production or pig iron has been declining; the volume of business in finished products as well as in pig iron has been increasing. The United States Steel corporation worked up to 73 per cent Of its total steel ingot capacity last week, which represents about what is expected to be realized after the passage of the dullness of the first half of July, due to stoppages Tor repairs and inventories.
 
 are becoming much brighter. In the Chicago market melters are inquiring gen. erally for last half delivery with the in quiry for malleable iron prominent In Cincinnati inquiries for pig iron are re- markedly good.
 Cleveland reports that the demand for pig iron there shows more life than for months and an inquiry is out for coco tons of basic. Pittsburg reports that inquiries for basic iron there total 30,000 tons, while an inquiry is also in the market for 300 tons of Bessemer. Basic pig iron is now firmer as the stocks held by scrap deal- CTS have been sold, and middlemen are, therefore out of the market. It Is now quoted at Sl3.25 at Valley furnace, with some makers refusing to shade S13.5O.
 The improved condition of the iron trade Is making itself felt in coke, for which the demanid is much more active both from blast furnaces and foundries and prices are therefore little firmer.

NUT JOINS CROWD
 AROUND SONS BODY

New Orleans. July 5.-Returning to his room from his office late yesterday James c. Nut, manager of a warehouse, stepped from his car at the new basin to join a crown about the lifeless body of a boy just taken from the water. The body was that of his son. James, Jr.s aged 12, one of eight children. The lad had be- come overheated while riding a bicycle and stopped at the edge of the basin to cool of. A passing motorman saw him starser and fall into the water, and bring ing his car to stop. jumped into the water fully dressed. but failed to rescue him. Twenty minutes later the body was brought up.

OLD MAN OF WAR

Port Townsend, Wash, July 5.-The oak hull of the corvette Iroquois. which as a man-of-war took part in the battle of Mobile bay and the siege of Vicksburg, was set on fire last night by junk men bay. and furnished Fourth of July illumination all night. The burning was in order to release the copper from the wood. The Iroouois was built in New York in 1858 and went out of commission IS years ago. She sank the Confederate gunboat McRae at the battle of Mob-.s bay and lost a larger proportionate num- Der of men than any other ship of Far raguts fleet

Iron Trade Review

Cleveland, Ohio, July 5.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Many finishing mills and steel works closed Saturday night and resumed Wednesday morning, but others will not become active for week or two and some iron mills will be idle throughout the month. Owing to the improvement in demand for finishe ed material the July shutdown will not be as extended in many cases as was thought probable few weeks ago.
 The production of coke and anthar- cite pig iron steadily declined through out the first half of the year.
 "The Juneo output was 1,7S1, 4of tons, loss of S9,982 tons compared with May. The daily average produc- ton for June was 59,3S0 tons com pared with 60,367 tons in May.
 There was a net loss of four stack! in operation this month. The production for the first half of the year was H. All. .4O5 tons which is 3,342,044 tons les: than the first half of last year, ant is the smallest half year output since the first half of 1909, which was 10, 6S0,672 tonsI Iron ore shipments II June were 4,S26,505 tons compared witt 3,384,319 tons in May of this year ant 7,316,592 tons in June, 1910.
 "There seems to be considerable quiet buying of pig iron in eastern territory throughout the country but inquiries present very much larger tonnages thar orders.
 ''The General Electric company has bought several thousand tons iron New York and eastern Pennsylvania makers.
 "A considerable tonnage of basic is pending at Pittsburg and in the cas- a Canton, Ohio, steel company has GOV cred for a part of It's requirements buying considerably less than was nj uufred for from valley furnace in ouiries for from 10000 to 12,00O freigh cars are pending"
