PIG IRON MARKET
CONTINUES QUIET
INQUIRIES MORE NUMEROUS, BUT
CONSUMERS ARE STILL DISIN
CLINED TO BUY IN LARGE
AMOUNTS—COKE EASIER.
Rogers. Brown &, Co.'s Cincinnati mar
ket report of yesterday's date says:
Inquiries for pig Iron during the past
week have been somewhat more numer
ous, but the disinclination to buy large
amounts still continues. Consumers as a
rule are contenting themselves In cover
ing their requirements for the next thirty
days at whatever prices are obtainable.
Shipments are going forward freely on
old contracts and but few requests to
hold up deliveries are received. The offi
cial reports showing that the increase In
the production is confined chiefly to steel
making irons indicate that there is not
likely to be a large surplus of foundry
grades, and unless consumption declines
it does not appear that there will be ex
cessive stocks accumulated by the fur
naces this year.
There is but little change in prices to
report. Some producers show excessive
anxiety to keep their yards clear of all
grades and concessions have been made
when necessary to secure current busi
ness.
The coke market is decidedly easier
and quotations are getting back more
nearly to a normal basis.
