By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 1.—The sharp est decline In the Nation's steel oper ations in many months was reported today by the American Iron and Steel Institute In wake of the tie-up of strike-bound plants of some inde pendent producers in the Cleveland, Youngstown and Chicago districts. The operating rate this week, the institute estimated, will be 77.4 per cent of capacity, oompared with 91 per cent last week. For nearly two months the industry had been operating at 90 per cent of capacity or above and set a new high record for tonnage output on the Spring expansion. The drop, the institute said, amounted to nearly 15 per cent. The operating rate, however, was above the comparable rate a year ago, which was 68.2 per cent. A month ago the industry was busy at 91 per cent of capacity. Steel operations had been one of the chief sustaining pillars of the industrial trend recently. The sharp de-cline this week threatened to put a dent in the business curve, which had been holding around the peak of the recovery movement.
