NEW YORK, Jan. 31-The coun-
ltrys great users of steel are making
inquiries regarding deliveries in the
first quarter of 1914. This is the first
time inhistory of the industry that
there have been inquiries full year
lahead. There are some lines of steel
products that are booked until Dec
Iember and with a small amount of
new business would have full capaci-
ty for year ahead.
The Union Pacific has placed orders
for 246 locomotives for the various
Hartman lines; the Illinois Central
equipment will include $500 gondola
cars, besides the $500 now being de-
livered, 500 fiat cars, 500 furniture
cars, 500 refrigerator, 500 fruit, 500
stock and other types; the American
Locomotive Works will deliver So
locomotives to the Illinois Central
within few weeks.
With the exception of equipment
orders there has been little new bust
ness placed in the past week or two,
but steel makers are not worrying
about the future. There are many
contracts pending from last year and
a certain amount of buying that can
not be put off much longer. 1t is ex-
pecIed that the large crops will bring
a wave of buying new equipment.
There is, however, small probabili-
ty that the demand for steel will be
heavy enough in the next few months
to cause any advance in prices, even
if the big makers were not already
opposed to any advance. Quotations
are now at a good level and as a rule
above the average for the past ten
years. On the other hand, there is
no likelihood that prices will be re-
duced.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton will publish it's statement for the
