STEEL EXPORTING The Pig Iron Market Appears to Have Reached the Cr st of the Buying Wavelet Last W>-*k. Says Report of "The Iron Age' New York, Deo 11. —"The Iron I Age" says December buying of steel products which was expected to follow rather promptly u;«on the appearance of a 1.05 c., Pittsaurgh, price for bars, plates and sliaps is not vet large. Five weeks of better feeling have doue some thing for order books, and buying has increased in the past week, but there i is thus fur no repetition of the free contracting of three years ago, or even of the lesser movement in January of this year. It is still true that when any consid erable business is done prices suffer. But there are rather plain indications that the response to 1.05 c., Pittsburgh, quotations lias not been enough to convince the mills that the market can be lifted by temporarily going under it. Hence more is heard of I.loc. for bars, plates and shapes for the lirst quarter, while 1.05 c. applies to earlier deliver ies, reaching in some cases into and ! through January. The pig iron market acts as tbougli ' the crest of the buying wavelet was I seen last week. With a few exceptions. . the purchases by foundries were of ' moderate size and some of them were based also on expectations of usual casting contarots. Their effect o.i prices is not yet clear.

At Pitts burgh in the past week 24,000 tons, mostly Northern iron, was bought for sanitary foundries, making a total of 75,000 tons of foundry and steel-mak i ing iron iu that district in two weeks. Cincinnati reports that the recent buy ing of foundry iron there foots tip more than was indicated at the time aud at Cleveland last week's selling was on a scale, one firm's orders being 20.- 000 tons.
