Easier iron trade noted as buyers pause in advancing orders

The Iron Trade Review reports easing conditions this week as buyers refrain from adding to obligations despite strong interest in pie iron with Chicago merchants selling about two thirds of their yearly output. Southern pig iron holds firm with price pressures rising in Cincinnati, while bar iron declines slow. Structural material demand slackens with Illinois Steel’s mill operating sparsely and shapes demand easing except Pittsburgh. San Francisco emerges as a buyer since January 1, placing orders around 7,000 tons for new buildings.
