IRON AND STEEL.

Ouiet conditions in the iron and
steel markets do not mean dulness OF
consumption. but merely
the oversold condition Of furnaces
and mills. together with great an
certainty about keeping plants active
on a DAY to day supply Of fuel. lu-
ouir;es are numerous, especially IA
structural lines. but makers are not
ready TO accept bids until the future
appears more definite. That busi-
ness is being done on an unprece-
den,ed scale is shown by the froa Agc
statistics Of pig iron output. The
weekly capacity Of furnaces IN blast
on January l was 35S. l64 tons, fa'
surprising all records. yet furnace
stocks were less than 1000 tons
and meanwhile imports have been a
the rate Of 100000 tons monthly
New plans constantly come forwar
/ for large office buildings, notably a
the west. which means vigorous con
sumption OF structural steel, and tn
demands from car builders rs ph'
nomenal. Billets still arrive iro'
Germany and Belgium. and in mo-
departments Of this industry Il
prospective purchaser has dibcul'
in securing contracts FOR delivery
