EXPECT STEEL ORDERS

Increases of Between 100000 and $780,

ward are being made in the estimates as
to what increase viii be reported by the
United States Steel Corporation in its
monthly statement of orders TO be issued
at noon tomorrow. 1t Is considered fair
ly certain that the increase in booking
will be between 100000 and 10000 tons.
IL might be stated that the corporation
could have shown a gain OF nearly three
times as much had il not been for the
fact that II turned down a considerable
amount of business that was offered
These refusals it is learned, were larger
in January than in any other month.
Thus far this month the company has
been taking a good volume Of orders,
and the indications at this time are that
February will 90 down in the records as
a fairly big month in the steel company's
bookings.
An increase Of orders of 100000 tons
would bring the total on the books of the
company to slightly In excess of 100000
tons. This would be but approximately
100000 tons under the largest ever reached
in the history of the coTporatiOn-S2S 2S9, coo
tons on December 81, 1905, Should Feb
ruary make a better showing than Jan
uaTy, as is at present indicated. II would
take but two months more Of increases to
reach record figures.
Estimates OF the earnings for January
continue to range around slgOOO,OOO and
the total net for the first quarter OF lis
year is expected to reach sjOOO0,OO0.
