ORDER At ENSLEY
Tennessee Company Gets
15,000-T0n Rail Order
PIG IRON is WEAKER
Car Buying Stimulated and Prices
Lower Than in Months-Further
Reduction in Prices of
Steel Products

New York. October 2s.--Cspeclal. 1.-The
Iron Age will say tomorrow:
Further reductions in prices of steel
| products have been made in the past
week and a number of mills have found
| 1t necessary to shorten their running
| schedules or to shut down some of their
| melting and rolling equipment The op-
Grafton of steel works blast furnaces is
being adjusted to the requirements of
the mills, these stoppages including three
| furnaces at Lackawanna, N. Y. and one
at Aliquippa, Pa.
Leaders in the industry have been wide
\ ly quoted In hopeful reviews of the situ-
alton. The halt in buying. the read
justment of prices and some curtailment
of output are admitted, but emphasis Is
laid on the high. rate of consumption still
maintained under hand to- mouth buying.
| The uncomfortable fact is that the falling
off in business is progressive. For the
country present steel plant operation is
roundly at so per cent of capacity.
A 15,000-ton rail order just placed by
| the Atlantic Coast Line gives needed bus
mess to the Ensley mill. An English
mill has taken 15,000-ton order in Argen-
tina at concession from the $50 price
| lately maintained in Great Britain.
| Car buying has been stimulated in the
| old time way and prices are lower than
| in many months. Estimates of cars on
which railroads are figuring go in some
| cases above 60,000 while inquiries immedi-
ately before the car companies are for
| 5000 to 1000. The expected reduction in
| Lapwell pipe became effective October %,
| amounting to about 81 ton. The new
| prices brings the market back to those
| of January /.
| Plate mills now commonly quote S1.30
| Pittsburg and there are Indications that
| this is not absolute minimum.
| Bar prices, long held firmly, are show
| ing less resistance to the general ten
rency. In Chicago and central western
| districts iron rolling mills have taken
| business at the expense of steel bar
mills, s1.15 Chicago and a shade lower
| having been done.
The volume of structural work has not
seriously fallen off. In the east about
25,000 tons is represented in jobs con-
sidered active apart from the new SUBJ
| ways.
stocks recently and curtailment in that
industry has gone farther in the past
| week.
Foreign finished material Is not a mar
ket factor as yet though the declines
in European prices, particularly in Ger
many are being watched sharply.
Pig iron is weaker and buying Is at
low ebb. Lake Erie furnaces have in
vaded southern Ohio territory at the ex-
pense of prices The Alabama market
is not SO firm.

Cleveland. O.. October 2s.-(speciai)
The Iron Trade review tomorrow will say:
Fairly optimistic sentiment prevails,
while prices of finished materials con-
tinue to decline and extreme dullness
continues In the pig iron market.
Belief is that before great while bot
tom EQUATIONS will be struck and i'm
provement in demand prices will soon fol-
low. Some further investigating has
been done to determine the possibility OF
competition from foreign countries, but
no evidence has yet been produced that
either on pig iron, semi-inshed materials
or finished materials will competition be
seriously felt by American companies.
Our reports from England Germany and
Belgium indicate very unsatisfactory con-
ditions In the iron trade of those coun-
tries, with decreased demand and sharp
reduction in prices. but even at low
prices competition with American prod
ucts would not now be profitable.
seldom has the trade seen such near
approach to absolute stagnation as exists
In the pig iron market at the present
time. Some blast furnace operators be-
lieve the only way to improve the situa-
tion Is to reduce production, and 1t Is ex-
pected that some furnaces In the central
west will soon be blown out. The Canal
Dover O., stack will be one of the first
to go on the inactive list. Some furnaces
are able to make better showing as to
cost on account of increased efficiency
of labor, which shows now as often in
dull periods.
Car buying by railroads has been more
general during the past week, and 1t Is ex-
pected a considerable number will be
placed during the next few weeks. The
Norfolk and Western has placed orders
for about 5000 tons of shapes and plates
for 1900 cars to be built in it's own shops
Plates are going to a southern Ohio COM
pany and shapes divided between two
Pittsburg companies. Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg has order for 1000 hoppers
in addition to 5000 steel under-frames and
it is inquiring for 1000 cars additional.
The 500 Line has placed 500 ore cars and
500 gondolas with the American Car and
Foundry company. The Baltimore and
Ohio has placed 1000 with the Cambria
Steel company
Buying of rails shows Improvement and
includes $4,000 tons for the Atlantic Coast
Line for this years delivery. placed with
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, which has also booked 1000 cars
for the Beaumont and Western. The
Pere Marquette has ordered 2o00 tons from
the Illinois Steel company. The Great
Northern rail order has been finally dis
tributed, Illinois, Bethlehem and Lacka-
wanna Steel company each getting 10000
tons The st. Paul Is now negotiating for
1900 tons, and the Chicago Northwestern
for so, 900 for next years delivery.
Brazilian railroad has ordered 1900
tons of rails from the Steel corporation.
Few orders for bridge material are re-
ported. The American Bridge company
will furnish 1900 tons for viaduct at
Woods Run, Pa. being built by the Penn
