BIG REVIVAL IN STEEL
AMAzES THE PRODUCERS

PITTSBURG, Pa. MAY This is
the first presidential year in the his
tory of the iron and steel trade that
revival occurs instead of a slump.
Ever since the first of the yea.
there has been a gradual Improvement
in orders and prices.
1t was prophesied that with the ad-
vent of presidential campaign the
financial tide would ebb and with the
bitter factional fight in the republican
party this would prevail more THAI
in any previous campaign. The op-
pOsite is the fact.
The United States Steel corporation
is so overwhelmed with orders that
enough pig iron cannot be produced
in it's own furnaces to supply the de-
mand and the Carnegie Steel COM
pany is figuring on making purchases
from merchant furnaces.
Independent steel companies are in
the same condition and large orders
for pig iron soon will have to be
placed to maintain the steel mills in
operation.

Observation-Disclosures
The most ~

The most striking feature Of the
year in the petroleum industry was
the development of the Electra oil
field in northern Texas.
The marketing conditions for oil
are reported as improved. as the re-
suit OF finding markets abroad. and
the exports are increased to con
siderable figure.
The petroleum trade as whole
has suffered OF late from two an
tagonistic conditions First. there
has been an oversupply due 10 the
sudden development OF great fields
first in one part Of the country and
then in another. until confidence be
came shaken as TO the possibility OF
maintaining a satisfactory price. This
condition has had an unfayorable Of
feet on production in the older set
tied districts which have passed the
gusher stage and Yet are capable
with fair prices of maintaining "A
reasonable output for many years.
Second. the trade has been constantly
handicapped by the fear lest the big
producing districts should wane as
rapidly as they have waNed and leave
a supply far below the capacity OF
tho huge industrial; plants designed
10 utilize such vcritab,c floods OF Oil
as have characterized late years.
