Iron Trade Review

Cleveland, O., April Special )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The fixing of the prices of Lake Su- perior iron ores by sales rather than by agreements, as in the old days, was the most interesting feature of the week. The reduction of 50 cents per ton made on lake ores and 25 cents on crude Fort Henry ores has failed to arouse much &C., tivity, among buyers.
 A few sales are reported. Some reser- vations are being converted into con tracts, but the writing of many contracts is delayed on account of the uncertainty concerning lake ore freights.
 With flew exceptions furnaces are so well supplied with ore that they see no necessity for making contracts and in ereasing their financial obligations which are already heavy until trade prospects develop more clearly.
 The getting together of different classes of manufacturers and the prospect of other conferences in the near future have not contributed to the cheerfulness in the finished material market.
 The statement that when meetings are called business halts Is getting to be proverbial in the trade, and it's truth has been strikingly illustrated during the past few days.
 In some products, particularly sheets, keen competition continues. At Chicago deep cuts have been made on re-roled reinforcing bars. Cutting on plates is also attributed to the Chicago district.
 The natural expectation that the reddc- ton in the price of iron ore would bring out considerable increase in inquiry for pig iron to test the market has not been realized, and the pig iron market con tinues extremely dull
 The United States Steel corporation's s blast furnace operations are now slightly better than G7 per cent, but will hardly exceed 64 per cent by the end of the week.
 A number of merchant stacks will be blown out within a few days
