Oct. 7.-Indleations of eon tinued and prolonged strength In the steel market are multipyling almost daily. That the manufacturer of steel products are not alone in their firm belief of a long period of prosperity. and that ,this feeling Is beingeztended to the consumer. is shown by the fact that this week's leading factor has been the contracts for steel rails and structural materials ,for deliverles Into the year after next. Second in importanoe of recent steel onditions has been the advances in prices which have taken place and the indica tions that further upturns are to fol low. During the last week steel bars have been advanced 15 points is Pitts burgh and New York. the new quota tions being 2.7 and 2.19 per pound, re spectively. Beams have been put up 3 points to 2.c per pound, and No. 28 black sheets are now quoted at 310c per pound at Pittsburgh. an advance of 36 points. All branches of the steel market are showing renewed strength, and this fact Is emphasised by the higher prices which have been established in the East as well as in the West for old material. Heavy scrap steel at Pittsburgh was put up 1 per gross ton this week to 81150. while in this. city the quotation for this ma terial Is now I15 per gron ton, an ad vance of X o0ts. In, Chicago No. 1 old cast iron has been raised 5 cents. the new level being 812.50 per net ton. The demand for various steel articles Is showing no signs of diminution. Bars. shapes, plates, wire, etc., are still being purchased by consumers in the country. as well as by European interests, and the buyers are taking what deliveries the makers have to give. For weeks back some of the present buyers of these pro ducts have been holding off in efforts to get. the best shipment available, but the orders on the boolY of the manufac turers are so far ahead that the purchas era have eventually been forced to take what they could get.
