STEELTONI RECORDS TUMBLE IN STEEL TRADE February Shipments Unsur passed; Prices No Longer an Object | Shipments of iron and steel during j February broke all records, according j to the weekly review of the steel trades | by the Iron Age to-day, and the pres . ent activity of the steel mills has never ! been equaled. In part the Iron Age I says: "Shipments from mills were very heavy in February and some of the I latter, nolably those of the largest Chi cago district producer, broke all recjr ords. In the Pittsburgh district the mills arc working as never before to reduce pi led-up orders, and some are j succeeding. Generally, however, and j I partly due to embargoes, the month left producers farther behind in deliv- I : erics. "While some consumers continue to j i bombard mills with business on which | l price is quite unimportant compared j with deliveries, others enlarge on the ] dangers of recent rapid advances and | are moving with caution. But what seemed famine prices a few months: ago are readily paid to-day and the ! expectation of higher levels is general. ! "Considering the close connection I some furnaces have made on coke | shipments, the February pig iron out j put was surprising. The total of I 5,087,21:; tons for 21) days, or 10K,45(j | 1 ions a day, compares with i tons in January, or 102,74t> tons a day. j • There was a net gain of six in active ■ furnaces and the 312 furnaces in blast I ! March 1 represent 107,510 tons a day | | as against 100,372 tons for 30t> fur- j I naces on February 1, Production is j now proceeding at the unprecedented i rate of 39,500,000 tons a year. "An index to the remarkable scale) i of blast furnace operations is the iron j f ore stocks at Lake Krie docks —only ) | 0,200,000 tons on March 1 against j | 7.500,000 tons a year previous. Ore j j shippers, realizing the enormous strain j i of the coming season, are planning to 1 break the ice in the channel at Esea -1 naba, the Michigan port, before the end of March, to make a new record 1 in the opening of the shipping season." j Firemen Raise Money to Beautify Grounds With a number of pretty girls in j 1 charge of booths from which candy, j ice cream, fancy work and other! articles are for sale, the ten days' fair j and festival of the Baldwin Hose Com-; pany opened at the hosehouse, South i Kront street, last evening.
