The Iron Trade, Philadelphia Press, We have again to report a week of | depresrion as regards prices, although the volume of business apoears to in- crease rather than otherwise, The po- sition is an_enigma to everyone. A demand of an almost unprecedentoed proportions, prices down to or below cost, yet the market is gradually wenkening. No satisfactcry explani- | tion can be given for such “a state of | affairs, The usual answer is that prices will improve, or must improve, but they don’t, Without pretending to explain something which others fail to explain, we cannot avoid the im- pression thut the weakness is largely due to foreign competition, A total importation of upward of 250,000 tons during the first four months of the year, large quantities afloat, and nego- tiations for still heauier lots pending, are facts which furnish food for seri ous reflection. Then again, the con- dition of the English iron trade is| growing worse, stocks increasing, con- Bumf(rtiuu decreasing, and Continental markets closing their doors to British products. It should not be a surprise under such circumstances tofind Eny lish iron-masters unloading he Prices obtained certainly seem low, and it is declared that transactions have been at a heavy loss to sellers, | but it seems quite likely that still greater loss weuld be incurred by holding. In the absence of any better theory we conclude that our market is over-weighted by Great Britain, and unless some other outlet can be found the United States will have to takethe surplus at some price. It may do very well to decry the quality of foreign iron, but the fact is heyond question, that for months past the heaviest con- sumers have bought their five thou- sand ton lots abroad, and thesc the transactions that influence It is said, by way of explanation, that [ our American furnaces cannot. furnish the quantities desired, which would be entirely true if supplomented by the words at the price 1t would 1ot be | fair to attach all the blame to buyers | ! of foreign iron. The cheapest market to buy in, and the dearest to sell in is a maxim observed the world over, Furnace men frequently express they willingness to sell at prices to meet foreign competition after the orders Bat it is reason- ties as they required, and have actually purchased, prices would have been run up, we hesitate to say how many dollars per ton. Labor, already unsettled and dissatisfied, would have FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1881. “lin M owing to an [ those in” the trade will bo | day at noon, on 1 gone out on strike.

Tt is not un- likely that we are alread at the price, | working up to full eapacity. heavier demand would increase ecast, and a falling off may be necessary to so far reduce it, that our iron-masters may be again placed in a position to meet foreign competition. The labor market in this great country isexceed ingly sensitive, and with an abund- anco of romunerative employniont, | such as now exists, it is impossible to produce iron at lower rates than are now current. An alternative (which we regrot to say scems very improb- | able) is that the equilibrium may be restored by a stiffening up in England, improved demand, to which United States buyers aro al ready contributing theirquota, This, howover, is morely a suggestion whioh able to Sales of Ameri- estimate at its value, “pirits, can iron during the week have been | day. confined to very small lots, and with- out appreciable change in - prices For large lots sellers would be quite willing to accept business at inside quotations, say No. 1 foundry, €24 to 820, No. 2 foundry, $29; gray forge, €20 to 822, Foreign has sold largely at 822,50 to 823 for Bessomer, and €17.25 to 818 for Middlesboro; i Scoteh iron is nominal at 821 to 823, according to brand; the entire market is unsettlod as regards pricos, but con- sumption is heavy. Nothing whatever has transpired during the week to change the course of the market as indicated in our last report. There is ample employment inall branches, and so far as we can learn every mill in the vicinity run- ning full time. The old complaint in regard to prices remains, but there is a growing impression that after mid- summer there will bea general stiffen- ing up. No ono seems to expect high prices, but it is hoped and belie that nominal rates will be the active selling rates, which has not been the caso for many weeks past. In fuet, the market las been entirely adrift, some parties have sold their product from time at a fair average of \vrwu. others have been a good deal lower, and still others have been crowded out at rates a good deal boyond current quotations. This is due in some meas- ure to the differences in quality, and those having the best reputation are the fullest of work at the highest prices. Others have been uneasy for fear that work would run short, and for that reason have lowered their prices in order to sccure cortniln con- tracts, and having cut rates in one case have found 1t difficult to advance them to others. This refers c}uefly to plate manufacturers. Tank iron, for instance, having been sold during the past thirty days at figures varying from 2.55 to 2.85 at mill. At the mo- ment prices are steadier, xgunrly all the mills being supplied with work, are quoting at 2.7 to 2.8, and not in- clined tomake concessions. Merchant bar is in fair demand and steady at 2.35 to 2.4 for refined iron. No large tion on both sides to wait for develop- ments, and in the meantime deal from hand to mouth. This class of business keeps manufacturers steadily at work, although the mills cannot be run as profitably as on large contracts. Shaped iron is in fair demand, and, with contracts already engaged, manu- facturers aro in a fairly ensy position. Such orders as come 1n are taken at about 2.6 for angles, 3 for tees, 3.3 for beams and 3.4 for channels. Thin sheets are in active demand, but prices incline toward weakness. Manufac- turers ave crowded with work and ar¢ very much pressed to meet deliveries. Prices vary from 8.75 to 4.25, accord- ing to gauge.
