BETTER FEELING IN IRON MARKET Further Railroad Buying is Expected By the Iron Age New York, May 15.—There is no mistaking the better feeling in the market following the dissolution of the industrial board and the free ing of the price situation "from gov ernment muddling," according to tho Iron age of to-day. It further says in part: "As at the original announcement of the March 21 prices, this last de velopment has brought the release of some business held up for several weeks. "In view of tho formal inquiry of the railroad administration for 200,- 000 tons of 80-lb. to 130-lb. rails, bids to be in by May 17, much interest Is taken in the prices that will be named. There is little expectation of lower than $47 at mill for open hearth rails, which has been the stabilized price, and the fact that $5O for bessemer rails and $52 for open hearth has been named on a do mestic inquiry for 2,750 tons in tho past week points to the possibility of at least one equally high quota tion on government business. "That railroad buying beforo the end of the year will be on a consid erable scale is more confldont'y looked for, as largely increased ap propriations are discussed. "Tho steel manufacturers having told the railroad administration that no further reduction could be made on railroad steel unless wages were reduced, are not expected to go out and signalize the new situation by price cutting. "While advances would be surprising, with operations still as slack as for several weeks, an eastern maker of wide plates has announced a price of 2.75 c, or $2 a ton advance. The a is also a quota tion of $2.50 a ion higher on light rails, for which considerable export inquiries have come up lately. "On the other hand, some price cutting has gone on here and there. Dine pipe has been Irregular, though on oil country goods the market has been active, with prices gener ally maintained. A leading pipe mill has shipped but sllght'y leas product this year than in the first four months of 1918. "Some of the railroads are insist ing on the revision of prices on con tracts made last year, and where mills refuse deliveries are suspend ed and new orders placed elsewhere. "An increased demand upon the mills for ship steel is foreshadowed by the President's cabled permission to the shipyards of the country to accept contracts for foreign account as far as this can bo done without interfering with the building of the American merchant marine. British yards have taken some large orders lately for Norway. "The banking and blowing out of blast furnaces is resulting in some drawing on stocks of pig iron. Sales slightly under current quotations continue on resale iron, but the vol ume has not been largo enough to establish a new price level. A sale of Southern No. 2 iron is reported at *25 at furnace and in the Central West basic iron is tending lower."
