But leaders in j the steel industry, the government's I main war resource, have been busy j finding ways to put thir product and j the best service of their plants at the country's disposal. , The Iron Age in summarizing the situation to-day says: "There was further conference in New York Tuesday between the steel ! manufacturers' committee and the j metals commissioner of the Council of I National Defense. It is probable that! I the government will buy in the near I future for its own wants and those of shipyards which are to do its work, 500,000 tons of plates, shapes and bars. Substantial concessions are to be made from current prices, but the proposal to take a 10-year market average was not adopted, as -that would represent less than cast to com panies not owning their own ore and coal." "The problem is not as simple as it looks to be. or as the precedent of a 50 per cent, cut in the copper price would, suggest. Copper at one-half i off the market still gives 100 per cent, profit to many producers. Can Handle Needs . j "Government needs can be handled ! ! for the present without serious inter- ! ; ference with ordinary trade; but i while war requirements are only a I | small percentage of the total steel j ! output, they represent a much larg- i jer proportion of the plate tonnage, j and some plate users may have to ] i stand aside. "What gives steel producers con- I * cern is the extent to which govern- j ; ment buying will include finished steel | ; for various industries with which the government w ill make contracts. The | ; concessions the government will ask from these latter will call in turn for • concessions on steel, and the trade i 1 quite in the dark to-day as to the ultimate effect of these widely ramify ing influences upon the price struc , ture. , "Buyers of war steel for Europe t have already inquired whether or ders placed by the United States gov ernment will delay deliveries of war steel for export. The answer is £pund ' ; in the announced purpose of this gov- j j ernment to put its resources at the J Allies' disposal to the fullest extent, i Domestic consumers recognize that ' some export business that has not j been entertained heretofore must now ' be given a place at the mills. Only time will show its volume."
