THE STEEL MARKET

Steel manufacturers ascribe the re-
luctance of consumers to enter the
market to the present tariff uncertain
ty and express the opinion that the
passage of new tariff bill will be
followed by a good volume of buying.
The absence of railroad orders of
any size gives basis for the belief that
unified tonnage at the end of the
month will reflect a shap decrease. Or
ders for bridge material appear to con-
stitute the bulk of railroad buying at
present and the demand from this
source is not regarded as of conse-
quence.
The large steel concerns are not
feeling the effect of this decrease in
demand just now. as they are rushed
with orders for which there IS an i'm
mediate and pressing demand. The de-
mand for black and galvanized steel
sheets continues good in the middle
west on the basis of s2.25 for black
and 1895 for galvanized
Pig iron prices show a tendency to
decline further and buyers are not
placing orders of large size. Prices
since the first of the year have drop
ped from SO to 81 a ton. Some fair
sized orders for foundry iron have
been reported.
