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

With a number of pretty girls in j
