New York, Aug. 1.-THE stop
page of the Lake Superior ore move
ment by the strike at upper Lake
docks for Il so per cent advance in
wages, the prospect of higher rail-
road freight rates in line with the
expected wage increase TO railroad
workers and the car shortage due
to the railroad shopmen's strike
have caused producers of iron and
steel to adopt a conservative selling
policy, says the iron age to-day. The
threat of a strike in Central West
ern steel plants, while not ominous,
is not disregarded.
An advance of 75c to 81 ton has
been asked by several producers of
Southern pig iron, indicating that
supply. and demand are working in
the sellers favor. Blowing in of
Northern merchant furnaces con-
tinues and seven are scheduled to
resume in the Central West, but the
volume of sales Is we'll maintained.
Export pig iron inquiry in New
York is larger, the total for Hol-
land, Scandinavia, Belgium, Japan,
Italy and the United Kingdom being
more than $4,000 tons. Freights to
Great Britain are down to $40 from
Gulf ports, and 5000 tons of found
ry iron has been sold to British con-
sumers, while $4,000 tons of basic
iron for the British Isles is under
negotiation.
Again Lorraine basic pig iron has
figured in the British market, hav-
ing sold at 1865, or about $3.50,
at Scottish port, or considerably less
than the delivered price of Ameri-
can iron." Coal output in Great
Britain has fallen off nearly so per
cent since mid-July and some

Midlands have been forced to pank.

financial conditions are increasingly

In recent sales of $4,000 tons of
basic iron in northern Ohio to two
consumers of 81 ton was made on
a part of the metal, a deal for steel
being involved; on another lot 5Oc
below the regular price was done.
Leading steel manufacturers are
not disposed to ask higher prices on
major products for this years de-
livery, but there is an upward tend
ency, and in some cases an actual
advance, in galvanized sheets, nuts,
bolts and rivets, and in boat spikes
and cut nails.
The Carnegie Steel Co. is operat-
ing 46 of it's SO blast furnaces, 81
per cent of it's ingot capacity and
so to So per cent of finishing capac-
ity. In the Chicago district Gary
and South Chicago are operating
but four blast furnaces each, steel
plant operations are much reduced,
and plate mills, sheet mills and rail
mills are shut down, all due to the
railroad shopmen's strike. Inde-
pendent mills there are still run

ton of a local union is one demand,
the American Steel & Wire Co. has
all its furnaces and steel works
idle.
The Railroad Administration will
open bids on 100000 tons of rails
on Aug 16. Its real awards may be
several times that amount, but the
old expedient is resorted to of mini
imizing the amount of business in
sight.
The bulk of 5000 tons of plates
bought by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road was put through at 2.50c., but
the full price of 2.65c. was charged
for lighter gauges. Four mills di-
vided the 5000 tons bought by the
