IN TWOWEEKSSTEEL ORDERS LARGEST SINCE WAR BEGAN France Places Order for 100,000 Ton) of Bars With the Lake Company— England Also After Some Great Amounts New York, April 2.—"The Iron Age" says orders placed ill the past two weeks with steel works in this country by European governments have exceeded those in any fortnight since the war began. An important French steal interest has just placed 100,000 tons of bars with a steel works through a Central Western dealer and specifications for 45,000 metric tons of 2-iu. and 3-in. rounds applying on this order are already in hand. Ne gotiations are pending for 30,000 tons additional. Deliveries are to be made at the rate of 2'5,000 tous a month. That this country must furnish large amouuts of steel first and last to France and England is daily more evi dent and the urgency of the need will relieve shipments on these contracts from the uncertainties of ordinary ocean transport, the governments them selves providing vessels in some cases. Export business both with belligerent and neutral countries is larger than is generally appreciated. As a partial offset to the low railroad demand, its effect on the effort to establish higher prices in the domestic market is a fac tor to which consumers are giving more attention. Naturally specifications on I.loc. and 1.15 c. contracts for plates, shapes and bars have gone in in good volume in the past week, in view of the ad vance bv important producers to a 1.20 c., Pittsburgh, basis for the second quarter. The effect of this advance, as with the change to the 1.15 c. basis on March 1, is to cause buyers to hold off while the supply-and-demand test is made. At such a time jobbers' stocks bought at 1.05 c. and I.loc. may be come active. The efforts of the steel companies to parry out the step process of advances iu plates, shapes and bars have held many consumers down to short deliver ies, but shipments on old contracts will extend through April and May in some cases and, in the easo of bars, through June. Already third quarter business is being considered here and there, most ly in bars, and the Steel Corporation has indicated that for that delivery it will ask 1.25 c. for bars as well as plates and structural shapes. In domestic business new buying in most liftes has been less than ship ments, production of finished mute rial in March being the largest in months, and an excess of shipments over orders is indicated for the immediate future. The call for steel bars for agricul tural machinery has been better month by month. In iron bars mills have had difficulty accumulating specifications for a week's run at a time. Recent buying of rails by the Erie amounts to i! 1,000 tons, all placed at Pittsburgh. Scarcely 1,200 cars are up for bids. Locomotives bought for ex port since the war started are about 250. There are still prophecies of im provement in structural demand, but current contracts are only a fraction of capacity. A recent letting in the East was at $32.50 for the steel erected. The volume of line pipe work ig again considerable. Recent contracts in clude 30 miles of 8-in. pipe for a line to Independence, Kansas; 23 miles of S-in. pipe for the Dominion Natural Uas Company, one-third being placed in Canada and two-thirds at Pittsburgh; 20 miles of 6-in. pipe for Oklahoma and 90 miles of 6-in. pipe taken in the Wheeling district for a Western oil line. A number of automobile builders have taken out all the special sheets covered by their early contracts and are placing new orders. Nearly 70 per cent, of hot-sheet mill capacity has been active lately. Steel companies at Pittsburgh and Youngstown have made round sales of semi-tinished steel, largely sheet bars, but also a good percentage of forging billets, car repair work being particu larly active. The whirlwind in Buffalo pig iron has passed. From 350,000 to 400,000 tons was swept up in about 10 days. Some sellers there have advanced prices to $12.50 for No. 2 X, second quarter, and sl3 for second half. In other districts the Buffalo cuts have led consumers to expect concessions which have not yet been offered, and therefore buying waits.
