markets have advanced by in- crements of 50 cents a ton on comparatively light transactions, 173 buyers. and the indication is that mer- chant blast furnaces are well sold up, without consumers being necessarily fally covered.

The Jarge steel mills did not buy mer- chart pig iron, to eke out their own production of iron, sa they did in previous upward more ments in the trade: What may
