Export Demand Con
tinues Good
NEW TORK, March 10 As forecast In
this column last week, there have been
price advances In several products In the
erteej trade. Following the up-turn, of It
by the leading wire manufacturers, light
tee! rails hae been put up 5 per ton,
kars and shapes V per ton, steel chain J 10
per ton and tank plates the exceptional
amount of 15 per ton.
In the trade It Is the general belief
that the highest leels have not yet been
seen. That other advances will be made
soon Is the belief of one of the leading
authorities In this country.
The foregoing is especially true of wire,
the demand for which has not been affected
by the new levels. Domestic consumers
are Just as earnestly placing their contracts
as heretofore, taking care of their require
ments In the future. In addition barb
wire Is wanted abroad-In large quantities,
and one authority estimates the unsatisfied

, at approximately 160,000 tons, mainly for
, Italy, Russia and France.
, 1$ f admitted in the trade, however, that
as a general thing the export demand has
s been Interfered with, and, while inquiries
, for export, must bo said to be large, the
orders are coming In more slowly than re
cently. There have been serious- delays in
Klltnsr foreign orders placed some time ago.
", Principally to the difficulty of getting
vwclent cars for the movement to sea-
i v Marei and also to the lack of vessel space.

vthe It week has shown continued Improve
menu -However, this is so slight thus far
that the effects, are not being generally felt
aw yeC But the fact that there has been
ise",amii imyruvcvncni is encouraging to
swt)HTa of the steel companies,
