The Iron Marxct

The manufacturing interests apparent

istration will affect them adversely for
all" say Rogers, Brown & Co. in their
Cincinnati report. "A confident manner
is indicated in inquiries and purchases of
the past week, and while there is some
what of a hull as was anticipated, the
outlook is excellent. Most of the buyere
covered their wants for several months
ahead during the recent buying move
ment. 1t is those who have taken on I'M
expected orders for the future who are
actively in the market for prompt or early

of steelmaking iron has accordingly been
the prominent feature The large ac-
foundations of steelmaking iron in the
valleys are said to be sold to the steel
producers who thought they haa SUI

Stocks on hand at all furnaces in most
instances have been so decreased in the
recent past as to be practically negligible
there is every indication there Will be a
scarcity of foundry iron later. Previous
ly in similar cases as a result there has
been heavy demand on charcoal iron
producers, and their capacity has been
taxed to its utmost.
'All monthly records for the production
of coke and anthracite pig iron were
broken during October, when the blast
furnaces produced 2,6S3.672 tons of pig
iron, the first time the record has been
broken since December, 1909, and in addi-
ton it was the third time in the history
of the industry that more than 100000
tons have>been made in one month.
Crop returns give further favorable i'm
petus to the situation. the farm values

ment estimates. over 5000 100000 every
indication points to better conditions than
ever before for an extraordinary con-
sumption of pig iron during the next ~
months
THE coke situation is unsatisfactory.
The Product is small in comparison with
that which would be possible with suf-
hclent lator. The car shortage continues
acute. Prices are good and spot coke
OF quality is at a premium. To all ap-
rearances there is not a great deal of
likelihood that the production generally
will increase in the immediate future"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
DEMOCRAT

A DEMOCRAT.
He's dreaming of prosperity.
A smile is on his face,
He's just as joyous as can be
Cause Wilson won that race,
And thinks the world will be more fair
Than ever twas before,
With cheerful faces everywhere
And happiness galore.
All at his ease he likes to think
or comforts he viii buy,
With now and then a little drink,
To keep from going dry.
He might some sort of office take
Though seeking none, It's true
He could no good excuses make
II woodrow asked him to-
Now something in the cabinet
Might suit him for a while:
'Twould please his wife a lot, you bet,
To live in proper style
In Washington's gay social whirl,
And make the home folks sigh
On hearing how his dear old girl
Was sailing way up high
IT'S good to feel contented SO
And of the future sure.
With no more thoughts of what we owe
And trials to endure.
We only hope the optimist
OF whom we've tried to sing
Will find his name upon the list
When "pie'Nis served next spring.
