HABXUSBURG TELEGRAPH STEEL MARKET IS READJUSTING Proximity of Government's Announcements of Prices Causes No Delay The steel market has done some further readjusting on its own ac count even with the government an nouncement of steel prices known to be close at hand, the Iron Age says to-day. Pittsburgh has been the chief scene of activity. In semi-finished steel, the high peaks of two months ago, reached in early delivery transactions and which weer far above the levels of con tract steel, have been toppled over on very moderate business, while in steel making pig iron the reductions amount to $2 on and as much as $4 on basic. Finished material markets have shared little in the decline in Besse mer and basic Iron and billets, chief ly because buying was so limited, but plates In particular are lower, Bc., Pittsburgh, being now common, representing a decline of S2O per net ton. The trade is much, at sea as to the extent to which the readjustment will ■ go, and is not helped by con flicting advices from Washington as to prices to allied governments and the public. Ste#l manufacturers are watching ctosely the working out of the ex port embargo policy, especially as related to British steel exports. With domestic steel capacity increasing, the mills want all the export busi ness that is consistent with proper care of the government's" needs and are averse to shipping war steel at low prices to Great Britain while that country is making highly profit able export shipment of commer cial steel. Manufacturers of steel and muni tions have made efforts to release large numbers of men from the draft and some important plants will suffer serious reduction in output if these efforts are not successful. At the same time it is known that very large additions to the government demands upon the country's steel capacity will come out as soon as the price-fixing problem is disposed of.
