NEWS OF S EXPECT PIG IRON TO KEEP RAISING Prices in Northern Selling Have Advanced Considerably Says Iron Age The pig iron market of the past two weeks is practically without a parallel in the experience of present day producers. Following: advances of $1 to $2 a ton recorded a week ago, prices in all northern selling centers have gone up $2 to $3 more, with every indication that high levels will be reached. In summing up the situation, the Iron Age says to-day: "The situation is, in a word, that the pig iron market, after months of Jagging, has cut loose and is now for the first time showing likeness to the war market for steel. "Merchant furnaces in all sections made heavy sales last week and many have now only a fraction of their 1917 output to offer. The movement was sudden. Less than two weeks ago foundries refused to consider iron for the second half of next year. A few days later they found the output for that period being rapidly taken up. At Buffalo the announcement that the Lackawanna Steel Company had con tracted for the output of two Susque hanna furnaces for the second half of next year tightened that market ap preciably. "Export business declined by do mestic steel manufacturers continues to mount up. For a time such offer ings have been at the rate of nearly half our total steel output. While war steel contracts for the second half of 1917 have not been signed, the amount figured on is very large and 4c to 4 Vie will be paid on much of it, though a leading seller is asking less. "An interesting inquiry just receiv ed is for 27,0000 tons of 6-inch, 7-inch and 8-lnch beams and 17,000 tons of %-inch to 2-inch angles. "A marked expansion in the export trade in cast iron pipe Is indicated by the contract for 66,000 net tons just taken In Argentina by the United States Cast Iron Pipe & Foundry Com pany. Pipe foundries have advanced $1 and expect to do more in this direc tion as pig iron moves further. "October outputs have been the largest the industry has known. But car shortages are now a serious men ace. Fuel and other costs are run ning up and delivery troubles promise to be worse as winter comes on. Spot coke prices have relaxed a trifle. Thus far $3.75 has been the basis of con tract blast furnace coke for the first half."
