 Month began with that excellent showing as to stocks on yards. They had gone down 25,00o tons. They are being further depleted owing to active demand for moro than make
 One maker entered January and February with practically no bust ness for those months on books It entered March with so per cent of make booked for this month and at end of first week in March had booked March make and 6,o00 tons over for March delivery The added booking will come out of yard stocks Another maker entered March with bookings for March In excess of make and no stocks worth while. It's pres ent holdings are under 800 tons. It could not sell another pound of iron for March delivery.
 This maker entered the market for second quarter toward middle of ths week. It booked 1,700 tons the first day. Principal takers were Louis vile and St. Louis foundries. Con- sumers that were wont toN order car loads and 1o0-ton lots are taking 200 to 700-ton lots.
 Production is at the highest point in 12 months over the country and Alabama is operating 1S coke fur naces compared with 10 at this time last year. Base is at y15.50 with some large tonnages going to $15 under special circumstances.
 Thtrd Best Week
 One maker said: Tt has been the third best week In 12 months hand running. The business is coming in steadily and in larger volume. For the first time in a year we really and truly look forward with confi- dence of good businss"
