PIC IRON IS SOLD
ON S24BAS|S INST.
LOUIS STORY SAYS
Another Report Sets Price in
North at Twenty-Five DOL
lars, as Proof of Ham,
mering in Market

Having hammered pig iron down
to base of, s25. the buyers still
hold from the market, although 1928
is less than six weeks off. The
hammering process has been vigor-
Gus the past week and reliable re-
port is to effect that it has resulted
in Birmingham iron being sold in
st. Louis on a base of s24.
The Iron Trade Review is author
ity for the statement that large
buyer has offered s25 ton for 10000
tons of iron at northern furnaces
That would be the equivalent OF $50
to SCI in Birmingham. The offer, it
is said, was turned down.
A firm offer of s23 for several
hundred tons of Birmingham iron
fatty refused. However, iron circles
are informed of reports that 5Bir-
mingham iron has been offered IN
competitive territory at as low as
s24. No maker will say where he
thinks the base will be when buying
starts.s
The fact that some of the large
pipe interests are sounding the mar.
ketfpoints to the resumption of buy
ing. For the present it seems to be
a matter of price fencing.
The production, largest of the year
is based on bookings for iron made
some time ago and on which de-
livery is due this year. Little has
been done for next year.
Stocks on yards which decreased
last month, are decreasing this
month. The statistical position of
the market is regarded as intrinsical
" strong and makers look for re-
bound after buying resumes.
