The Iron market la still dominated'
by the feeling that prices have not yet

between supply and demand. Thus far j
the buying by the leading harvesting
machinery Interests has been the only
conspiclous development in August.
Its pig Iron purchases for its gray iron
and malleable foundiias are in the
neighborhood of 75,000 tons; and con
tracts for 15i000 tons of sheets ana
,000 tons of pipes and tubes have been
added. It Is now stated that the steel
bar contract had not been closed,
though It Is expected from 40,000 to 50,
OOOtons will be needed above the output
of the company's own mill. Recent
purchases of malleable bessemer have
Included a portion of the requirements
of several large malleable foundries,

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT
The outlook for the sardine packing"
venture recently launched In this dty
la not very bright. The fish are unusu

sardines comes In the cannery will not
be operated this fall. Some of the fish
are about the right slse, and from these
the owners of the cannery hope to pack
samples A run of such big fish was
never before known and Is regarded as
phenomenal. The probabilities are the
cannery will not be steadily operated
this season.

It seems probable that, in order to save
appearances, Russia and Austria will

is quite clear that a new departure
