THE STEEL MARKET.
Manufacturers Expect Improvement
VIII he Maintained.

The advance in prices OF four steel
products made last week combined with
better railroad buying gives manufac-
turers confidence that the turn in the
industry has come and they expect
material business Improvement in the
second half of the year The main
question at the moment in the minds OF
leading inter SITS IL whether the recent
advance can he maintained
While the status Of the industry Is far
from satisfactory in both prices and
tonnage. the trend is favorable. The fact
that July. usually n dun month. Ia hold
ing the increased pace set by lure IL re-
garded as a favorable indication and II
promises well for August and September.
Considerable interest attaches to the
second quarters statement of tho Steel
Corporation which will be issued on Tues
day. a more favorable statement is
certain than for the first quarter OF the
year.
Pig iron Ia extremely dun but stocks
are not accommodating and prices rule
firm. Any large improvement in the
steel market would naturally be preceded
by Use In pig iron.
The DAILY Iron Trade says Except
for the small inquiries for foundry grades
Pittsburg district pig iron market dis
played no activity this week southern
Ohio iron market was noticeably more
quiet than al this time last month. Large
aggregate orders for ears placed last few
days in Eastern market. Demand for
sheets continues fair, but some concessions
are still coming out"
