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. ( |
