A final lour of the Mahoning and Shenango valleys discloses the number of idle furnaces now to be 12 out of a total of 15 in the Mahoning Valley, with the weekly capacity of those out of blast estimated at 7,793 tons, and of those in blast at 2,21 a tons. In the She ran go Valley the number of idle furnaces is 14 out of a total of 17, with the weekly capa city of the furnaces out of blast estimated at 10,971 tons, and of those in blast, 2,260 tons. The number of idle furnaces in the latter district will shortly be increased one, as it is the intention of the Stewart Iron Com pany, at Sharon, to bank their remaining stack either during the latter part of this week or early next week, owing, as was stated by General Manager McClure, to the excessive demands made by the cokers and miners. The Ojtinlon of a Neutral Concern. This firm has a plant of 120 ovens in the Connellsville region, having a sufficient capacity when running to supply their stacks; but the plant is at present idle, owing to the coke strike. As this concern occupies a central position, both in the view of the coke operators and producers of pig iron, their words should be given greater weight than those of any biased parties. It was positively stated by Mr. McClure that the producers of pig iron could not manu facture iron to sell at to-day's prices, and for this one reason there would be no re sumption of work among the furnaces until the strike was settled and the price of coke reduced, the rates of freight be materially reduced from the present basis, and labor be willing to accept a partial reduction in waces. Hither all ot these events must come to pass or there must be a pronounced advance in the price of pic iron before fur nacemeu can resume making iron to sell on a profitable margin. He stated that the possibility of the market advancing to a sound, conservative and lasting basis was indeed remote, owing to the continued ship ments ot Southern iron into these markets. 1A hr the Market Is Now Stronger. True, the mirket is somewhat stronger now than when the shutdown movement rt went into effect; but this fact is due wholly to the rapid consumption of the stocks of iron that were held at the various furnace yards, and the possibility now ap parent of there being a scarcity of all grades of pig iron; bnt just as soon as the furnaces resume under the old order of things, the Southern product will again play smash with prices and a return to the present de moralized state of affairs is inevitable, Hegarding the possible outcome of the coke strike, Mr. McClure said that no set tlement would be effected so long as the workmen declared their present position to be their ultimatum. The men employed at their plant have asked for the privilege of returning to work at last year's seals of wages, but this proposition was declined by the firm, and nothing short of a reduction of 10 per cent, compared with last year's scale, will enable the ovens to resume. The Labor Element in the Cost. The cost of labor in producing a ton of coke, according to the last wage agreement in force, was lully 80 per cent of the whole. "When operators undertake to mine their coal, thus eating their capital away, loadin it and shipping it to their ovens under th, disadvantage of high freight rates, and under the present scale of wages, it is only a ques tion of time when they will be bankrupt. In his opinion no end will be witnessed to the strike until at least the middle of April, and though the men will before, that time anxiously desire to return at last year's scale of wages, it is the- firm intention of the operators to hold out until their demands are acceded to. The gentleman further stated that when the coke strike was ended the railroads would probably show a dis position to help the situation along by low ering their rates. Thus it appears that the settlement of the shutdown movement has now been transferred Irom the railroad com panies to the result of the coke strike. Another rnrnaceman's Valuable Opinions. In a conversation with E. A. Wheeler, General Manacer of the Wheeler Furnace Company, which company owns the Ella and Fannie furnaces at West Middlesex, and also one stack in this city, the situa tion its present as well as the probable future results is thoroughly reviewed. It is Mr. Wheeler's opinion that the necessity of the furnaces to shut down is primarily due to the abnormal depression in the pis iron market, which depression is partly aggravated Dv the large shipments ofbouth ern iron into this market, permitted only because the valley furnaces cannot, under the present high rates of freight and the high price of coke, make iron cheap enough to compete with the Southern furnaces. He said there is no possibility of the Northern furnacemen ever being wholly deprived of their markets; that Southern iron does not at all compare with Northern-made iron, and that, in the case of using it in the man ufacture of merchant bars, its use is restricted to from 20 to 25 per cent, of the whole quantity of pig iron, according to the order. Why Southern rurnacos Cut Prices. One cause he mentioned as contributing to the activity of Southern iron producers in the North, is the fact that nine-tenths of the furnaces iu the South are built with bor rowed money, and that in order to be able to pay the 6 or more per cent interest on these bonds they are compelled to run all the year at extremely narrow margins. Such was the case ot the Fort Payne Company, which was considered one of the finest blast furnace properties in the South, but was eventually forced to the wall owing to inability to pay the interest accumulating on their bonds. While the South may have coal, ore and limestone in abundance, and the conditions of their propinquity be ideal, yet the natural properties of these products were much in terior to the products of the Northern States so much so, in fact, that they cannot be used as a substitute. Throughout the North Mr. Wheeler stated that the quality of Snperiorore, valley limestone and Connells ville coke Had Long Been Granted Superiority over similar products of other districts, and that as the supply was inexhaustible these lacts alone precluded the possibility of the South ever wholly encroaching upon the do main of Northern furnacemen. What was wanted, Mr. Wheelersaid, was an all-round reduction in the cost of pro ducing iron. This reduction must be shared alike by the ore companies, the water and rail transportation companies, the coke pro ducers and all kindred interests. When these industries narrow down their profit to a limit that will permit home furnaces producing, say, mill iron for $12, then nos only is the salety of the local markets set cured to local producers, but a vas trade throughout the East and West will be secured. Mr. Wheeler kindly showed to the writer the monthly statement showing the cost of producing a ton of Besse mer iron at the Ella and Fannie furnaces, at about the time the shutdown was en forced. The Figures In Detail Tor It. First are the total freight rates paid on the different materials entering into the manufacture of a ton of Bessemer pig iron, and they areas follows: 2,300 pounds of coke, at SI S3 per ton (rate from Connellsville region to the val leys) 9133 0,800 pounds limestone, at 80c per ton. 17 I ". :.. . - .... -.. . .1 ... ... .'j.'Ji'.- .ffer'j..-,' . . .-.Vj.j.&iia;,., -ji!;.". 2.700 pounds ore, at $2 72K per ton (rate from mine to lake) J 80 Lake freichts 1 30 Lake port to lurnace G2 3 23 S2 72KJ Total freights 4 80 Labor is arranged to cost 2 35 Wear and tear of machinery 60 COST OF MATERIALS. 2,300 pounds coke, at $1 90 per ton 2 18 1.300 pounds limestone, at 70c per ton 40 2,700 pounas ore, two kinds used, aver- agingf6per ton 7 23 Total cost of making ton of Bessemer iron at Wheeler Iron Company fur naces " $17 46 The average cost is found to approximate $17 50, and when it is understood that furnaces here were selling as low as 515 50 and 16 from their stocks in store, the loss is apparent. Surely, no further elucidation is necessary to show the position of pig iron manufacturers in this district as regards the shutdown. We Must Have Cheaper Production. The cry on every hand is for cheaper pro duction, and many go so far as to assert that unless a thorough reconstruction of the pig iron market takes place shortly, that is, as far as the cost of producing iron is con cerned, the industry will gradually slip out of the grasp of home furnacemen into the hands of Southern producers. As the ore companies have shown a desire to share in this reduction by reducing the price ot ore Irom $1 to ?1 50 per ton com pared with last year, and the settle ment ot the Connellsville coke strike, and the ultimate reduction in the selling price of coke is only a question of a little time, the slowest, and'what appearf to be the most obdurate, industry to read just itself is that of rail transportation. The knowledge of this fact among furnace men has lately given rise to renewed discus sion as to the possibility oi ine construction of the Eric ship canal. The Railroads Can't Remedy the Matter. It is not only a question whether the rail roads will reduce their rates, but, with the limited carryiug and terminal facilities that they possess at present and which are not capable of great enlargement, will they be able to handle the traffic that will be oflered in the course of a few years should the present rate of increase in the manufacture of pig iron continue? In an interview with John M. Goodwin, the eminent civil engineer who has charge of the survey of the proposed canal, he stated that the only solution of the question now occupying the minds of the Mahoning and Shenango vall.-y furnacemen lies in the construction of the proposed canal. He is very enthusi astic on the subject, and seemed thoroughly conversant, not only with the details of the Erie ship-canal scheme, butof the industries of the three valleys. He spoke at length of the causes which have led to the shutdown and the probable condition of the iron trade in years to come, and closed by em phatically declaring that the Only Hope For Northern Furnacemen to maintain their present hold on the North ern markets lay directly in the construction of the Erie ship canal. Sir. Goodwin put forward an argument which will probably appear new to a great many who have become interested in the construction of the proposed waterway. It is that even should the railroads lower the freight rate to meet the demands of the furnacemen, they would not be able in the course of a few years to handle the traffic that will be offered them should the present rate of increase in the production of pig iron continue, and the reasons for this are owing to the lack of terminal facilities and room for the sidmb of loaded cars in the different cities and towns. In the case of Pittsburg, it is a well-known fact that there is at present no possible ingress for a railroad except by tunneling, and even then, when the center of the city is reached, there is no room for sidings. This is also true of many smaller cities and towns be tween the Ohio river and Lake Erie, and the only inlet remaining is by the proposed waterway. The average tonnage of ore in a lake cargo was 1,500 tons. What the Railroads Can't So. In order to transport this quantltv of iron fully 60 cars ot a total length of over 1,900 feet are needed, which are never shipped at one time, owing to the delay in the unload ing by manual labor, the great detention of the loaded cars that would follow and to th; poor facilities for unloading, and last, but not least, the great stretch of track the un loaded cars would fill from day to day, un til they are unloaded. On the other hand, suppose the existence of the Erie Canal en trance into Pittsburg, and other towns by river were a fact, a vessel not more than 200 feet in length could be moored alongside the lurnace atockhouse and the material unloaded, thus saving the extra handlings necessary to load it into cars and unload it. This statement also holds true in the matter of the transporta tion of coke. Thus it is that the comple tion of the Erie ship canal, which would revolutionize transportation matters and cause a considerable saving in the cost of producing iron, is looked upon by Mr. Goodwin as the only remedy whereby the evils that at present stare the pig iron man ufacturers of Pennsylvania and Ohio in the face can be forever eradicated.
