Finished Steel
Demand Expected
To Turn Upward
BJ I he Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 27 —Dally
Metal Trade today *aya:
The recession In finished steel de
mand appears to be nearing bottom.
New business has shown no sign of
improvement, but active apecifylng on
old contracts is reported, and with
prices being reaffllrmed for fourth
quarter, expectations are consumers
will begin to order steel for their Fall
requirements.
The labor situation Is improving
and this is tending to remove some
of the uncertainty which has con
fronted business lately. Deliveries are
improved though still extended In
many products. Order backlogs are
sufficient to support high ingot opera
tions through the remainder of the
Summer, by which time it is believed
a new buying wave will be under way.
