Futures were more active, but price
movements were irregular. The No 4
contract was decidedly firmer on renewed
buying for domestic and European ac
count encouraged by the continued firm

STEEL INGOT RATE
HITS 91PER CENT
Activity Almost Equals Rec
ord-Breaking Month
of May, 1929.
Bs the Associates Press.
NEW YORK, March 31—The steel
industry enters the second quarter ol
the year with production almost equal
to that of the record-breaking month
of May, 1929. and with backlogs in
some products that extend well into
the third quarter, Iron Age said today
in its weekly review oi steel.
"Outputs of ingots is estimated at
91 per cent of the industry's capacity,
or about 1.191.882 tons for the week
the trade journal said, "which com
pares with the all-time peak of 1.192.
284 tons a week in May. 1929. when
operations exceded 100 per cent ol
the then rated capacity.
"Bookings of sheets extend through
August. On other pioducts mills hav
backlogs sufficient lot varying period
of from one to thiee months Tlv
most backward items are structural
steel and pipe, which are affected In
the failure of building construction to
snow its usual seasonal expansion, al
though mills have fairly substantial
specifications for piojects closed dur
ing the past few months Next to
sheets, the product in heaviest de
mand is tin plate
"The volume of steel business m
March was extremely heavy. Mot:
companies booked more tonnaer than
in either December or January, the
two most recent peak months.
"The real test of the steel markr*
will not come before June, as very few
mills need any additional tonnage fc.
April and May, and it is expected th
normal flow of orders will soon fill up
any June schedules that are oner.
The present problem of the mills i
not to sell steel, but to avoid loatiu
up their own order books to unwielt:
proportions, moreover, man compunp
have adopted a system that virtual’,'
amounts to the rationing of stei
among regular customers in proportio.
to their normal requirements.
The scrap market is higher at Cl:
cago, but elsewhere has leveled off i
the absence of important consum
buying. Scrap brokers, however, la
for a further jpwaro move in view t,
the heavy consumption. The Iron A:
scrap composite has advanced to a
new high for 14 years of $21 92."
