New York, October 2.-(Special)- )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 The ease with which prices of steel making pig iron have risen in the central west and the fact that there is consider able unsatisfied inquiry for such iror still causes interest to center in tha. market. Valley furnaces have been appears to be minimum for Bessemcr iron. In basic iron, sales of 10000 tons are reported at $15.50 valley furnaces, while $16 is now commonly quoted.
 Furnaces are not crowdng sales for next year, indications appearing that a good many buyers will yet be in the mar ket for large blocks of iron. Preliminary returns from blast furnaces for Septem- Der indicate an increase of at least 10 in the number of active furnaces. at the same time stocks have gone down and consumption of steel making iron Is at record rate
 Southern furnaces are making sales at advancing prices: H3.50 is now minimum, for No. iron at Alabama furnaces and sales have been made at sf4.
 Finished steel is working toward high CT prices Mills are somewhat reserved n selling for next year. It is plain that a very large tonnage entered for 1912 will ca Try over into 1913 Leading Pittsburg and Chicago interests see practically a six nonths full operation ahead of them.
 definite order is reported from the Pennsylvania railroad for 50.0o0 tons of rails for the lines west It is expected the Pennsylvania total will reach 250,0U tons. Inquiries pending for cars and likely soon to become orders amount to about 17,o00 tons.
 Lake Superior ore sellers are looking for early buying for 1913, and 1t is not unlikely that large amount of next years output will be sold before January. Estimates of the advances that will be made upon 1912 prices range from 50 cents to s1 ton.

CONDITIONS GOOD FOR LAST QUARTER Blast Furnace Production
 Continues Heavy CONTRACTS FOR 1913 Sellers Are Not Crowding the Market. Last of $13 Birmingham Iron
 Disappears With End of
 September
CONTRACTS FOR 1913

Cleveland, October 2.-tSpecial)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say's
 The year enters upon its last quarter under highly favorable conditions Blast furnace production continues very heavy with demand. Indications of shortage are apparent In some parts of the coun- try, particularly In eastern Pennsylvania. Mills are overwhelmed with specifications and consumers are making contracts for finished material for delivery next year for as heavy tonnages and as far Into the new year as they are permitted by sellers. The very strong demand for iron ores in European countries Is illustrated in striking manner by the fact that of fers from abroad have been made to take any unsold tonnage of Wabana, New foundland ore. It is highly probable, however, that eastern furnaces will take all ore allotted to them. The sales of pig iron in valley and Pittsburg dis- tricts have aggregated large tonnages and prices have been steadily advanced One large Mahoning valley company is understood to have taken recently about 10000 tons of basic and Bessemer. The " NtstiIBuUuSt EitclfIc anu hdI1u1dcIIf- ing company closed the latter part of the week for about 150o0 tons first and second quarter foundry iron for plants at Cleveland and Pittsburg. The American Steel Foundries company has entered the market for about 10000 tons first quarter basic for it's Alliance, O., plant. A steel casting company at St. Louis is about to close for 10.000 tons basic.
 The market for basic seems to be estaD- lished at sl6 valley. A Youngstown com pany sold 25,G00 tons Bessemer for 1918 delivery to a Pittsburg broker. The sale of 30000 tons basic was made to an in dependent steel company in New York state
 In the south the last of the SIS iron disappeared with the end of Septe .nber and S13.5o last quarter Is now the mini mum for No foundry, Birmingham.
 Pig iron production last month of coke and anthracite pig iron was at a daily rate of S1,201 tons, an increase of 551 tons over August. The total output last month was 2,4S6,O16 tons. a loss of 6i,l47 tons due to there being only 30 days in September. Output for the first nne months of the year was H,2l8,576 tons, a gain of 4,141, ,437 tons compared with corre- spending period of 1911. A net gain of seven in active stacks was made during September
