ACTIVITY REVIVES
AT STEEL PLANTS
Ingot Rate Up 2 Points,
at Highest Mark Since
Mid-November.
By th« Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 23.—The Na
tion's steel mills, with operations up 2
points this week to 34 per cent of
capacity, are producing ingots at the
highest rate since mid-November, Iron
Age reported today.
“Probably for the first time since
the first half of 1937 orders are run
ning in excess of shipments,” the pub
lication added.
"While this change of trend is too
small to be highly significant, the in
dustry derives some encouragement
from even a minor release from the
stalemate of recent months. • • *
"That much of the current buying
is a logical seasonal development is
indicated, however, by the fact that
the sudden arrival of spring weather
throughout the country has expanded
sales of wire products, particularly
wire fencing, more than any other class
of steel products.
"As an example, an outstanding wire
manufacturing unit has increased its
operations from 21 per cent two weeks
ago to 33 per cent this week. Much of
the buying of wire products has come
from farm areas, where considerable
frozen buying power might be released
if general conditions affecting the
farmers’ markets were more favorable.
The farm equipment industry is con
tributing more support to the Chicago
steel industry, on a relative basis, than
any other branch of the steel consum
ing field."
Lack of substantial buying of steel
by the automobile industry and the
railroad industry are “keenest disap
pointments" to steel makers, it was
said.
A small decline in steel scrap at
Pittsburgh lowered the Iron Age scrap
composite price to *13.54 this week,
a drop of 4 cents from last week.
American Metal Market said the
recent pick-up in steel mill opera
tions is greater “than can be ac
counted for by seasonal influences,
considering that buying is only for
the promptest deliveries possible."
Depleted buyers' stocks are pointed
to by the trade paper as an explana
tion for increased orders from agricul
tural areas for merchant wire prod
ucts. Such buying, however, it says,
"is not large in proportion to the
aggregate of all steel products.”
Some orders for rails are reported
over the last fortnight, but “for press
ing necessities only.”
