MUCH CONFIDENCE SHOWN IN STEEL TRADE OUTLOOK Foreign Order* to Make May and June Heavy In Export Business— Average Operation in Mills Nearly Seventy-flve Per cent. New York, May 7.—"The Iron Ago" says that with little change in the rate of ®ew buying at home, the , steel trade has entered May with more j grounds for confidence in the outlook j than existed one month ago. In the | main this is due to the very heavy . foreign business distributed here in April and the further large volume 011 which negotiations are now ibei'ng closed. To this iB now added the be- promise of freer buying of rail road equipment. Knowing that much more steel for export will be turned out at their mills in May and June than in March and April, steel makers have been little dis posed to add to their bookings by price concessions. Hence with many of them April did not equal March in new orders or shipments. War and other export business becomes thus the pivotal factor at a time when hesita tion -might have developed in a purely domestic situation. Bids arc asked, or are about to be asked, on 18,000 cars, in addition to the lti,ooo for the Pennsylvania rail road. Being chiefly for western roads the expected buying of these cars has helped the Chicago market, which hns long lagged, beitjg out of the zone of export operations. The Pennsylvania rail order, it is now stated, will be for 138,000 tons, of which 65,000 tons is for the lines west. The Rack Island will probably ibuv 10,00' C tons at once. At Pittsburgh 5.700 tons will be rolled for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie. Bteel works operations are now aver aging nearer to 75 than to 70 per cent. The Steel Corporation's sched ules for this week are at 73.5 per cent, of ingot capacity, foreign orders may bring t'bia up slightly as the month ad vances. The statement of unfilled or ders as of April 30 is not likely to show much change. At Chicago the leading producer had a net gain in April of 25.000 tons. The pig iron statistics for April show that steel companies increased their output by 2,800 tons a day and merchant furnaces by 1,200 tons a day bringing the latter up to the highest point since July, 1914. The total pro duction in April was 2,116,494 tons or 70,5-50 t»ns a day, against 2,063,- 834 tons in March, or 66,575 tons a day. With 195 furnaces in blast May 1 or four more than on April 1, the ac tive capacity was 71,385 tons a day, a £ain of 1,300 tons a day. The pig iron market of late, for the first time in many months, has indi cated the state of the whole industry. Buying has broadened, and it is signi ficant that 20'0,000 tons of speculative iron has been taken. Buyers of this iron, of which about 120,000 tons was from Buffalo furnaces, will hold it for a substantial advance. In Alabama, April sales of fully 300,000 tons, in eludi'»; speculative lots, stiffened tho market and $9.75 a>nd $lO are now asking prices for the second half. Pre ceding the advance some sales of No. 2 iron were made at $9.25, and to-day $9.50 iron is still to «be hart for the second quarter. Chicago pig iron sales have been quite heavy and all Central Western markets have been fairly active. At Chicago the $ 1-2.50 price 011 northern iron has been for some time the sign of a weak market, but sl3 is now general. In Northern Ohio as low as $12.2'5 at furnace for No. 2 foundry has come out in the past week. In finished material, the bar market is of chief interest for the firmness imparted by the large buying of shrap nel steel, just as agricultural bar con tracts are coming up. It is believed that 1.20 c will be the basis of these ] implement contracts for the last six months of the year and some mills are averse to selling for twelve months. An advance in 6teel tubing was ] made this week, amounting to $2 on i merchant pipe and boiler tubes and $1 s on line pipe in the ease of the leading producer. Some independent makers j have not advanced line pipe. In iron pipe and boiler tubes a $2 advance , has also been made bv most producers and on galvanized iron pipe one inter- ' est has put up its prices $4 a ton.
