BUFFALO PIG IRON
SHOWS AN ADVANCE
Many Orders Placed For
Delivery Early In
Next Year

New York November 29.-AIany con-
sumers of foundry iron in the eastern ter
ritory made haste during last week to
ments for shipment during the first quar-
ter and first half of 1915, while the Buff
falo furnaces held the price at the 81
level. Contracts We're placed for about
10000 tons at Buffalo alone. over half OF
which was due to the purchases of the
American Radiator company. In other
sections furnaces secured orders for about
$500 tons of basic and foundry grades
November orders amounted to about $50,
600 tons. the largest monthly sales since
July. At Buffalo prices were advanced
after the large sales 70 cents to 81 per ton.
Some large iron contracts are pending in
the south and east, including 5000 to
$4,000 tons for pipe works. Contracts for
10000 tons for the General Electric COM
pany also are left to be placed.
There was an increase in booking of
small miscellaneous orders for steel, but
the aggregate was not heavy. The United
States Steel corporation now is operat-
ing 80 per cent of its ingot and IS per cent
of its pig iron capacity.
Railroad equipment orders for the week
included 1000 tons of rails, $500 tons of tie
plates and 100 tank cars for the Santa Fe
railroad. The Illinois Southern ordered
800 box cars and the Maine Central bought
seven locomotives. Steel building and
bridge work was fiat, the fabricating
shops reporting orders for only 1900 tons.
Export orders included 1900 tons of
plates for Australia, 5000 tons of billets for
England, 1,500, 900 tons of shapes for Japan
and GOO tons of shapes for Argentina. Bids
went in Friday on 10000 tons of rails and
track supplies for the Norwegian rail-
ways, but this business Is expected to go
to German mills.

ADVANCE IS MADE
IN SPOT COTTON
Futures Show Loss For The
Week, HOwever-Net Re-
suits Were Small

New Orleans. November 29.-The net
results of last weeks trading in cot
ton were small. Futures lost from to
II points and spots gained ne-sixteenth
of a cent pound. The future market
had fairly good tone during the great
er part of the week, developing some
softness toward the close apparently
more because of expectations of bear
ish crop estimates in the next two
weeks than anything else.
Steadying influences were the large
exports for the week, practically a
quarter of million bales, and reports
of buying of both spots and futures, in
which it was said that German spinners
shared. At times the market had very
little selling power. and absolutely no
pressure was felt from spots, although
the into sight for the week was over
half million bales. Late in the week
there were rumors of bullish operations
in the old January position, which APP
pears to have fallen into strong hands.
Private estimates of crop may have
an important bearing on the course of
prices early this week and after that
the trade will be greatly interested in
the annual estimate by the department
of agriculture, which is due early in
December The general disposition is
to look for bearish estimates. The next
census bureau report on ginning is due
December s, and this will attract more
or less attention this week
The export situation will be closely
watched because of bearish claims of
the last day or two that the falling off
in receipts at Texas points means a
similar falling off in export shipments.
Any check in the outward movement Of
cotton would be strong bearish in
fuence, whereas a continued healthy
increase in exports would greatly
strengthen the position of the market
