HEAVY IRON BUYING
Unprecedented Consumption
at Opening of Season.
BESSEMER STEEL MOVEMENT
Question Raised Whether Price Can
Be Kept Under Control Increased
Demand, for Structural Ma
terial RalNBuying Light.
CLEVELAND, O.. March. P. The Iron Trade
Review this week sayi: Unprecedented con
sumption of pl iren. and sied on the thresh
old or the season, always,, marked by Quick
ened activity. raises the question whether the
price will be kept under central. Tig Iron
-utput at a rate of nearly 21.EOO;000 tons, and
metal going into welters' hands at something
more than' that rat. jreent a situation in
which precedents Rive little help. The Besse
mer seel industry, KflC forward rapidly
again, after a marked failing away in 3001.
In a large factor in the present movement.
In the )wt week the foundry industry has
been a larger participant in the market than
for weeks, but the buying- of foundry Irons
has been divided among a diversified and
growing lift of consumers.
Tlie abandonment for the time of the efforts
to orobnp the large Bout hern companies baa
ncsrcejy created a rippie In the pig Iron mar.
krt, as prices are sustained by natural condition.-!
Dteettsekm of advances en Southern
irons ie answered by continued selling of No.
2 foundry at $13.50 at furnace, and on North
ern "roo the baste ef flO for No. 2 at Central
Western furnaces, white aimed at, la not main
tained. Southern Ohio iron has sold at $15.75.
and in a few instances at 315.50. Bessemer
in In less active, after recent buying, but
some steel works requirements for March are
jet to be met. Basic pig iron at 516 Pittsburg
indicates an easier condition than has been
generally credited.
The steel market In billets and most finished
materials continues to present a record scale
of operations. Independent prcducors of Iron
of the Jigger finished materials are getting
sufficient rteel te operate In full, and the
.-prices of the preduots as established by the
larger interests do not warrant importations
of billets and sheet bars at present prices
abroad.
Tbo past week has made no larger additions
to rail businese, but la structural lines the de
velopments have been encouraging. At New
York 23.000 tons of new erection in manufac
turing lines Is up for estimate, and a goed ton
nage was put on the American Bridge Com
pany books. The plate mills arc in a etreng
position. Of about $3,000 cars estimated to be
now under contract, 21,000 are to be all steel,
representing 200,000 tons of pfates and 6 ha pes.

REVIVAL OF' SPECULATIVE EN
THUSIASM AT NEW YORK.""
Awakened Strength in Railroads
That Have Lately Figured In
Merger Rumors.
NEW YORK. March 6. There u distinct
revival of epeculatlve.enthuniasm tn stocks to
day, and & considerable expansion In the vol
ume of the market was aa accompaniment.
The most effective factor upon sentiment was
the awakened strength in the group of railroad
stocks which have Agured In the most indus
triously circulated of the rumors in regard to
combinations and mergers. The entire qui
escence of this group ever since the announce
ment of the Northern Securities deolskra has
been a damper upon the speculative spirit, as
the plans concerning these properties were
supposed to be waiting for that decision to be
promulgated. There was no authoritative, sews
regarding the plans today, but the demand for
the stocks rescued the market from some of
the repressive laSuences due to their lethargy.
Yesterday's active speculative movement in
Reading was also carried over into today's
dealings, and that stock was run up to within
a sfeare of par. The only motive assigned for
the rise was a rumor that the dividend rate
would be advanced to 4 per cent. Beyond this
it was alleged that the floating supply of the
stock has been, so far reduced as to make it
readily responsive to the operations, aa has
been demonstrated by the repeated success of
parties formed to operate In it within the last
few months. The present movement Is
ascribed to the eame sources.
There was a very striking movement also In
a .group of the metal stocks, led by Smelting.
Amalgamated Copper was a conspicuous figure
In the eame group. Dividend rumors -played
their part In this movement also, and were
supplemented with merger rumors affecUng the
lead Industry. The spurt la Anaconda, Amal
gamated Copper's controlled stock, pointed to
the Bcourcs from which the parent stock. Is
to benefit by supposed dividend increase. Re
ports from the copper trade were brlgnt and
copper stocks were strong in all the world's
great markets. The United States Steel stocks
were again conspicuously laggard, although
reports from that trade continued brilliant.
Canadian Pacific was supposed to be benefited
from large earnings by Itself and its controlled
properties, all of which moved up In company.
The tpeclal demand for Atchison in the loan
crowd pointed to an outstanding abort interest
as the source of some of the demand for it.
The favorable ground work to which the va
rious operations owed their success had as the
principal clement the reduction in the official
discount rote of the Bonk of England from 3
to 2U per cent, a rate lower than has been
touched since before the Boer War. This ac
tion had been so long deferred that some fears
had obtained that the extraordinary demands
upon capital had made the reduction unfeas
ible. The lowering of the rate is equivalent
to a proclamation that urgent requirement
upon capital have been met. and that relaxing
mosey conditions In the world's market are to
be looked for.
An encouraging view of the Fall-planted
wheat crop was a factor in the market. Noth
ing from the seat of war promise an early
peace London bought stocks at the opening.
but sold on the rise. The realizing on the ad
vance made some alteration in the days prices.
The closing dealings were consequently slightly
irregular.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value.
$5,13.00fi. United States bonds 2s advanced
