makers report that orders placed so
far this week have been heavy and
specifying against contracts continues
at about the same rate as during the
last two or three weeks. These mills
have enough business in sight to keep
them busy for the next six months.
The railroads are trifle slow in
placing their orders for equipment for
1918, but some of the roads have enter
ed the market and it is expected that
nearly all of them will do so within a
short time. The railroad material
plants in western Pennsylvania are
booked to capacity up to the end of
February.
Structural plants are working on
full schedule and will probably con-
tinue to do so for some time. The pipe
market Is quiet. but orders already
booked are keeping the mills busy and
prices firm. Wire makers say that the
market is in first class condition. with
large bookings ahead.

CAR SHORTAGE
HURTS STEEL

The car shortage is rapidly becom-
ing a serious factor in the steel and
iron industry. Some of the mills COM
plain that they are unable TO deliver
their finished product according to con-
tract. which Is adding to the general
confusion and helping to retard the
business. Bookings have been par
ticulariy heavy for some time. and
with the poor shipping facilities avail
able the mills are working under ad-
ditional handicap. So far traffic men
in the Pittsburg district have been
unable to get any satisfaction from
railroad officers. but as the railroads
will suffer to a large extent In the
event of steel deliveries being held up
1t is believed that something will be
done In the near future to relieve the
congestion as far as this trade is con-
cerned.
All of the various branches of the
industry continue to report good busi-
, ness. New orders are still coming In
in large volume and the books Of a
number of the smaller companies have
been closed for the first quarter OF the
coming year. All indications point to
new production records for 1918, and
unless new business becomes lighter
practically al 1of the mills will be
booked ahead for the first half Of next
year by the first of January. Produc.
ton is already ahead OF 1911 and by
the end of the year 1t is expected that
the 100000 ton mark In exports will
have been reached.

supply is small Consumers are en-
