LEGAL VOTERS IN THE :

Only known republicans will
be permitted to vote in the Pri.
mary. August 9th. Republicans
only are holding a primary this
year; no democrat ticket will APP
pear on the ballot. The democrats
will not be permitted to vote in
this primary and none need ap.

it is useless for the democrats to
attend the election, and it is to be
hoped they will not do so, and
thus avoid confusion.

RISING TENDENCY
IN IRON PRICES
PUZZLES TRADE
Manufacturers Unwilling
to Quote Figures
for 1922.
COKE CHIEF FACTOR
Uncertainty as to Its Future
Course Perplexing to
Steel Men.
COKE CHIEF FACTOR

Coincident with the rising ten
dency in pig iron prices certain
factors of uncertainty are coming
more to the front, with the result
that estimates of the probable
market over the first half of next
year are extremely difficult to OBJ
tain.
Chief among the puzzling factors
is the cost Of coke. This product.
Of which one and one-tenth tons
are required for every ton OF pig
iron produced. has recently ad-
vanced in price 80 TO rs cents a
| ton in the midst Of a siuation ripe
for still further advances. The
market today ranges from 1925 to
$3.50 on prompt furnace grade and
from s4.25 to $3.50 on foundry ma
terial.
Furnaces Prepare to Resume.
Another perplexing phase of the
iron price situation is the probable
effect OF the movement toward in
creased production already started.
| For example, one of the leading in
terests in the South is said to con-
template an early advance in price
from s19 to $50 a ton. But at the
same time come reports that at
least three Southern furnaces now
idle are preparing to resume with
in the next three weeks. Unless
the increase in demand outruns the
increase in production an advance
in price will be difficult to main
tain.
In Chicago, sales continue at the
s22 level established several weeks
ago. though competition from some
of the furnaces to the East causes
occasional shading of so to rs cents
ton.
In Eastern Penns: lvania prices
are still in an unsettled state. Mar
ket the latter part of last week
was supposed to have become firm.
at s20.50 a ton for all producers.
But while much material Is being
sold at this figure. occasional sales
persist at concessions of so cents to
81 ton.
Buffalo Raises Prices.
The situation in Buffalo is i'm
proved by a certain steel company's
withdrawal of its low quotations,
making the market firmer at from
S20.50 to s21 a ton.
A merchant returned from in
spection tour of New England
foundries reports better sentiment
prevailing despite a slight decrease
in demand for certain foundry
products. Stove makers and cotton
machinery manufacturers are
among those whose incoming busi-
ness has shown light downward
tendency during the past week.
Demand for iron for future de-
livery appears irregular, some in
terests reporting an increase and
others a decrease in requests for
first quarter material. Uncertainty
as to the significance of the recent
advance in prices is shared by
buyer and seller alike.
