Iron Market
The Iron Age, in its weekly review
of the steel trades to-day says:
"Current market reports still deal
largely with business offered, which
steel companies cannpt entertain. Yet
In November, when a similar condi
tion prevailed, actual bookings were
enormous, as the Steel Corporation's
Increase of over 1,000,000 tons In un
filled orders is full proof.
"It is known that some sales for
the third quarter of 1916 have been
made at 1.70 c. to I.Boc. for heavier
finished materials, but they are not
many. However, no small tonnage
of what is now on the books is really
third quarter business, since the
mills cannot deliver it earlier.
"The outcome of the railroad con
gestion, particularly in the East, is
a matter of no small concern. Aggra
vated in some districts by heavy snow
fall it has resulted in a scarcity of
coke and some blast furnaces have
paid $2.75 and higher for prompt
coke as against $2.10 a week ago."
