FIRM CONDITIONS
IN FINISHED STEEL
Pig Iron Continues Weak.
Coke Declines
LARGE NEW ORDERS
Some Leaders in Industry Expect to
See Present Rate of Output Ex-
tend Into Second Half-Pr0b-
lem to Reduce Arrears

New York, February H. (speciaI)--
The Iron Age viii say this week:
Continued weakness in pig iron and
further declines In coke and old ma
terial are still accompanied by very
firm conditions in finished steel The
recession in the rate at which new
orders are coming in for rolled material
has been so gradual and the total on
the books of the mills is so enormous
that there are still some leaders in
the industry who expect TO see the
present rate of output extend well into
the second half.
The mills are recognizing that their
great problem is to reduce arrears in
deliveries and in some cases where
business is offered for the second half
are not disposed to make a more defi-
mite promise, than at the convenience
of the MIL. Railroad buying. at least
is not tagging. Late railN orders
amount to $1,000 tons. For the cars
on which bids have been asked late
ly it is estimated at Pittsburg that
100000 tons of plates and shapes will
be required.
Plate, structural and bar mills see
no indication of anything but full oc-
cupatlon for five or six months. At
Philadelphia $4,000 tons of vessel plates
are represented in recent inquiries.
Consumers of foundry pig iron are
still well content to wait. The decline
has been about 80 cents from the De-
cember level in most markets.
