PIG IRON IS MORE
ACTIVELY BOUGHT
Large Producers Oppose Higher
Prices for Steel.

Pig iron, which had been quiet for
some time, while steel was being
actively purchased at rising prices, was
in better demand last week. according
10 trade publications. The larger steel
makers are said 10 be endeavorins TO
prevent further advances in the price
of finished products.
THE Iron Age" says: THE Pitts
burgh advance Of So d ton on contract
plates, shapes and bars, announced
February rs. was quite unexpected even
by the selling organizations OF the
companies making IT. Nothing in the
remarkable price movement Of the last
four months mas so disturbed buyers
or impressed them with the chances
OF surprise in the whole situation.
The tide is still rising. both in
prices and demand. Railroad and ship
yard buying, particularly the latter, Is
strong A new pig iron movement
too. is under way
"The Iron Trade Review will say:
"Pig iron market conditions, which o.
late have not been keeping pace with
the steel end Of the business. either
in volume or price advances, are be-
coming more animated. In the West
sales Of steel-making irons the lasl
week have totalled 100000 tons OF
more. while in the East there also
have been some eood-sizcd sales A
feature Of this trading is the tendency
Of buyers TO put through their deals
quietly. Statistics just made public
show that the present stocks OF mer-
chant iron in makers hands are less
than a months supply.
THE weekly report in steel condi-
tons is monOtonous recital OF buy
ors pounding the mills for greater
needs Il steel and the inability OF the
latter to meet the demand. There arc
indications, however. in the interest
OF a more stable market. that large
producers are lending their influence
against much further advance. and the
maximum level in the heavier lines
appears in sight

COTTON STEADIES
AS SHORTS COVER
Early Decline Is Followed by
Sharp Rally-Net Gain
10 TO 10 Points.

Cotton showed steadier tone yes
terday. with the rally considered chiefly
due 70 diminishing volume Of liqui-
dation and absence Of spot pressure
and covering or buying for a reaction
after the recent severe decline. Sew
ersi months made new low ground for
the movement a. the opening, but the
list quickly rallied. and active months
sold about Is 20 IS points above last
Mondays closing figures during the
middle Of the afternoon. Reactions OF
or points followed IN the late trad
ing, and may have been promoted by
the unfavorable view OF international
politics. but the final tone was steady
at a net advance Of 10 20 Is points for
the day.
Liverpool made n fairly steady show
ing over the local holiday, but the
opening here was 20 points lower
on most o. the active positions, with
March contracts selling at lib and
July az 1876 on the call The selling,
however. was much less active than II
was last week. while Liverpool was
considerable buyer here. and u very
soon became evident that spot houses
were absorbing all the March offering
at a discount OF about % points under
May. There was some liquidation as
prices worked upward, which caused
some irregularity. but active months
showed rallies OF % to q points from
the lowest late in the afternoon.
Reports that the British government
had taken entire control Of tho mer-
chant marine between Liverpool and
New York promoted the rally.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported were unchanged TO 10 points

which was % points lower No ex-

Traders Talk of Bad News
That Is Coming from
Washington.
CAN UP ON REPORT
OF EARLY DECISION
Du Pont Stockholders Get Anglo.
French Bonds as Part Of Big
Extra Dividend Payment.

In point Of activity there was no
stock market yesterday worthy OF tho
name. Dealings amounted TO only a
little more than 100000 shares; in FIVE
hours hardly more stock changed hands
than does in one hour Of really good
day. On the floor only two things
we're talked Of: The rumor that some
bad news was about to come from
Washington and the rumor that a de-
cision in the governments suit against
the American Can Company would be
made public at O'Clock. Can stock
was strong, because Of the belief that
the company had made out good case
for itself The other story had little
more than transitory influence on
prices.

Making New Investors.

One OF the collateral advantages OF
the du Pont distribution Of Anglo
French bonds is the possible increase
in the aggregate OF investors in this
country. In many cases, doubtless.
people bought du Pont stock for spec
ulation. Those who have II still have
been made involuntarilv investors. or
course, they may sell their Anglo
French bonds. but the majority will
probably hold them, and some will
learn for the first time the pleasure
and profit of having a sum well invest
cd that brings them in handsome re-
turn percentage. The more investors
the country has the better.

Keeping Exchange Down.

Sterling exchange ~ 90 be kept from
going materially higher than N.153s.
In this WAY, says the British Chan
cellor OF the EXchcquer. imports into
Great Britain will be kept down. the
rate being high enough, ct tho Same
time, TO make exports of gold unprobt-
able. Exports OF commodities Will be
stimulated. IL might be added that the
discount OF 2 per cent in exchange, as
shown By price Of s4.76h FOR the
pound sterling, puts n premium Of
per cent on British sales Of American
securities. Tho most recent reports
from London concerning the mobiliza-
ton OF these securities by the British
Treasury have been contradictory. II
seems probable, however especially
considering the recent appeal TO Brit
ish banks and insurance companies to
stimulate the deposit Of American"
with the treasury-that the roundup
has been unsatisfactory. Now, while
II cannot be thought that strongboxes
have been cleaned out. it is possible
that nearly all the easily detachable
Americans" have been sold by their
owners, inspired by patriotism or
profits. The rest are being held for
investment. II interest rates continue
20 rise in England and returns TO Brit
.sh holders OF americans do no more
than remain constant, some of these re
naming securities may be dislodged by
reason Of competition from high class
home securities and because Of the
premium through sterling exchange.
