STEEL RATE WAR OVER
Manufacturers Want Prices That
VII Insure Reasonable Profit.

Further indications that the price in the
steel trade has ended contained in dispatches
from Pittsburg yesterday. which stated that the
price of light steel rails had been advanced to 81 a
ton. This is only 81 below the price of standard
steel rails, and compares with a low level of 81
reached in the recent downward movement. The
advance was made by the Carnegie, Pennsylvania
and Jones Laughln steel companies.
In local steel circles il was said that the an
noEncement of a substantial advance in the prices
of other finished steel products within week or
two would not be- surprising. and it is understood
that conferences being held by the leading steel
interests here with that object in view
II pointed out, however. that substantial
advance in prices would a return to the
old policy Of maintaining prices high level re-

manufacturers. Il is said is to create prices that

ucts declared.
The Iron Trade Review says of conditions in
the trade:
Favorable developments are plentiful in nearly
all branches of the iron trade Very heavy sales
of finished material have been made and slight ad-
There is. however, some question the extent
TO which buying has been justified by actual CON
sumptive demands, as it is clear that heavy ton
nages have gone to stocks. There is danger that
prices may be too rapidly advanced and cause
extra duness during the summer months.
Owing to the improvement in pig iron and nm
prices will he reduced. II they should be, re
