tory ol Industry
BOOM FOB COMIM YEAR
New York, Nov. Ik.—With record
breaking production and tendency of
price* upward, many product* being
naw subject to ndvanre* over night.
It is fair to assume that *'eel com
panic- are in for » period of rerord
breaking eamir.ga.
Charles M. Schwab's prediction of
10 or 15 years ago that by 19S0 the
United State* wou'd he producing 40.
000,000 ton* of steel aetua'ly seem*
likely to prove correct It wa* not
until 1905 that pm lumen exceeded
**,•00.000 tons. In 1*00 production
was a little more than I0.00o.000.
The United State- i* today turning
out more than 35,0110.000 ton* of *teel
annually, and with new works going
in. including those st Ihiluth. there
•ill be a much larger output aest
year, providing the industry espen
cnees no setback
Demand for steel i* greater than at
any time in history of the industry
However, prices are »eeeral dollar* a
ton lower than in the record -breaking
year of 1*0? But continuation of
preoent demand indicateo that prices
may reach the aeerage estab'ished in
1*07
Owing to rising pneeo and produc
tion. it is difficult to forecast earn
ing* of the Steel Corporation for
lost quarter of this year. Net of 445.
000,000. regarded as cwnaervatiie.
