Daring tho Last Half of 1S94 Than
In tho First fix Monthi—Aa
KxcoUcnt Showing.
Chattanooga, Tenn., January t.—
In ita trade review of the year Jnat
past, the Chattanooga Timea in speak
ing of the iron industry, says:
The record made In the Iron trade In Ten
nessee and Alabama for the past year ha* been
most remarkable. Beginning with a dull and
low market the first half showed both a small
production and a small consumption; while on
the contrary, the last half showed a very large
productlonand large consumption. The stocks
of coke iron in Tennessee at the close of the
year are 150,000 tons less than at the beginning,
while the production is 75,000 tons per week, or
100 per cent greater than at the beginning of
1894. The production has been, in round num
bers. 1.000,000 tons, or 40 per cent greater the
last half of the year than the first half, and
prices have declined, and are more than 10 per
cent lower than they were twelve months ago.
At the present time stocks are accumulating,
but it is fair to presume it is largely owing to
the desire on the part of consumers to close
out the year with as little iron on hand as pos
sible.
The course of prices, both in bar iron and
steel, has constantly tended downward, and It
la not unreasonable to predict that they are at
the very bottom, and that from this on the
course of prices must tend upward. It Is a
well-known fact that pig iron can be bought
today, either in Chattanooga or Birmingham,
for 10 per cent leap than the same grade can b«
obtained at the nfbst favored points in England.
This condition of affairs 1« ef course not nor
mal, and can only exist so long as labor is ae
largely unemployed and must accept unrea
sonably low wages or remain idle.

not.
