Show Frosberity in the Iron Trade PrrrsBUBG, December 3. Iron dealers report re-port an advance of one dollar on pig metal, and fifty cents on ore, within the past twenty-four hours. This has been brought about by the steadily increasing demand for these commodities, especially here, and is the first apparent substantial evidence of the revival of the iron trade. Business in this city is reported as good. The . mills are booking ptenty of orders at present, and through the use and economies of natural gas, they have a decided advantage over the trade in general outside of the Western Pennsylvania field. |
