Iron Trade Review Prices Stand Pat From Last Year
The iron market shows prices about the same as a year ago with reduced freight aiding South pig iron and little new buying. Rumors of sales below 15 per ton are not borne out by actual trades while May prices of Bessemer iron reached 16.75 per ton. Costs of production now exceed last year by about 2 per ton and many producers face losses unless they secure location advantages or adjust labor.
