FAVORABLE CHANGE IS DUE Demands in Iron Trade Bring In crease in Business New York, Sept. . An Improving Inquiry can be reported for manufac tured iron and ateel generally, anys the Iron Age. The conditions, which have ben unsatisfactory during the summer months, but It la now quite confidently expected that a favorable change Is due. Autumn requirements are unusually sufficient to bring about a good Increase In the volume of busi ness, Seasonable products, such as wlra nails and wire fencing, are even now beginning to feel a better demand. In the case of structural shapes, plates and other products, a great deal of deferred business, held up on account of labor troubles and the unsatisfactory condition of the market for securities will soon come up for attention. Pittsburg prices are pitched on a more , cheerful tone than for some months, transactions being on a larger scale and showing more confidence among buyers. The Influence of good crops in the west and southwest, which will be" marketed price, is beginning to be felt. Reports from other mar kets are generally of an encouraging character. The east Is at present tfe least favored In this respect. Prices of finished products are well maintained, with the exception of light sheets, bar Iron and some minor pro ducts. Transactions jn foundry pig Iron are not on so large a scale as last week. A great deal of buying is in progress, but It consists ot small lots, showing that consumers are conserv ative In anticipating their requirements and will be until they are convincea that bottom has been reached. D-ur- Ing the revalence of high prices costs were considerably increased, and with the exception of coke, thes? costs still prevail. Quite a number of furnace owners find that at current prices their margin of profit haa disappeared and preimrationa are und?r way tor the blowing out of a considerable number of stacks, An interesting contest Is possible be tween the Independent sheet mills and the Amalgamated Association. The mills have asked for Changes In some of the union rules to enable them to compete on better terms with fion-un-Ion mill, but their (request has been refused. ..' f , .
