STEEL TRADE
HAS IMPROVED
March Orders for Finished
Lines Are Largest Since
the Panic.
MILL OPERATIONS ARE LARGER
Trade Paper Speaks in Optimistic
Style of Old Months
Operations.


Cleveland, o., April 9. The Iron
Trade Review says: The lapse of
practically the first month upon rea-
sonably defined price basis Is now per-
hitting an accurate comparative sum
mary to be drawn from the iron and
steel conditions under the open mar
ket, and the result is evidence of gen
uine improvement Although the aban-
donment of official prices dates from
Feb 49, it was not until two weeks
later that the market had overcome
the decisive action arising from the
decisive action taken or had settled to
state of rational negotiations be-
tween buyers and sellers. Current re-
ports of extremely low prices being
made in some lines are still promoting
some doubt and uncertainty. but the
buying public has apparently fully dis
counted these at their true value.
In several of the finished lines of iron
and steel the month of March was the
heaviest in point of mill orders booked
since the beginning Of the depression
eighteen months ago. This improvement
has not been confined to the seasonable
products or to particular companies.
but has been spread over most Of the
list of principal rolled material, ex-
cepting rails, and has been distributed
among the several makers. Marked
gains in the tonnages OF specifications
received have shown in steel bars,
tubular goods. sheets, tinplates and
structural shapes and plates.
The showing of steel bars has proba-
bly, been the best. The increase in
building operations in the country is
plainly shown in the better running
schedules OF the structural mills. In
pipe. especially line pipe. some com
panies have made heavy engagements
for early shipment.
