THE STEEL MARKET.
q. =. Corporations Unhlied Tom
mage Below Expectations.

The unified tonnage statement Of the
United States steel Corporation for
April, showing a decrease OF 90 sos tons
was somewhat below expectations. as an
even break had been generally looked
for. Unified tonnage on April 80 stood
at il62.24i tons. compared with $3.50
I+9 on March 81. and 4,2T7.05s tons AZ
the end of April, 1914. The statement
indicates that deliveries in Apri. were
about $500 tons a day in excess Of
bookings. As shipments are placed at
80 500 tons 4 day, II appears that in
coming orders were at the rate n,
slightly less than 30 00o tons day
which shows 10 material improvement
from the first month Of the year.
The heavy demand FOR steel bars Las
resulted in a stinenng In prices. Manu-
facturers are reported TO be asking 81 -
per 100 pounds. which is 81 a ton above
he current price OF 81 90 per 100
pounds. Harvester companies and
shrspnel makers are in the market for
considerable tonnages Of this product
