The Iron Trade Review says: THE
new iron ore prices are the highest since
1910. and have been exceeded only by
three previous years. Forward pig iron
values already have discounted this
higher cost. and as a growing scarcity of
early metal is becoming more apparent,
further advances are being established
in this product. From end to end. the
iron and steel industry is thoroughly
buoyant and there seems to be no end
TO the prices that can be obtained where
urgent is the general demand. A renewal
of foreign inquiry by foreign buyers for
steel for the manufacture of munitions is
making it's appearance. These buyers will
accept deliveries beyond July l, whereas
UP to this time they have not been will
