Just returned from Jekyi Island. speak
ing of steel conditions yesterday said:
II see nothing alarming or discouraging
In tho steel situation. although II II ad
mtted that the market lacks snap and Is
stHhewhat disappointing so far as current
" umc of new business Is concerned.
Present conditions. however. are sub
stantially better than they were in De
cember, both as to price and volume. Tho
industry as a whole. I think. will show
an operation for March close to an
average of rs per cent. to so per cent. OF
ingot capacity. Some mills will establish
records above and others below these
figures.
"The technical position Of tho market is
encouraging. as stocks an generally
speaking. normal or less. Material
ordered seems to DO urgently wanted,
many buyers continuing the hand to
mouth policy heretofore pursued with re-
spect to purchases.
"1n general the market may be charac-
terized as waiting one, with a dispo-
sition to activity. as all II needs Is some
reessuring or good news from Washing
