NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Opera tions in the steel industry for the current week will advance 11.6 points to 70.2 per cent of capacity, a new 1939 high, the American Iron and Steel Institute estimated today. Last week s figure was 58.6 per cent of capacity. A month ago ODerations were at the rate of 62.1 pier cent while a year ago they were 45.3 pier cent. The jump in steel production, partly representing a rebound from Labor day curtailment last week, appeared to have been influenced by the wave of war buying in metals. Trade reports said steel makers have witnessed a rush to cover forward needs in finished products for protection against price ad vances. together with an increase in exploit business as result of a diversion of orders from Europe. Except for a new year upturn ! the first week of January, it was the steepiest weekly rise of 1939. Since the Fourth of July lull m steel activity, the operating rate has nearly doubled. The latest rate was the highest since September 27, 1937, just be fore the record-breaking autumn curtailment in steel production that year. !
