EXPECT FURTHER
STEEL ADVANCES
Cause of Rise Centered on De-
mand of France and Italy
For Material

Iron and steel markets are advanc-
ing with little semblance of restraint
and no week of the year has brought
so many evidences of demand outrun-
ming supply and of the projection of
that condition far into next year. Semi
finished steel is quoted SIS to $40
higher than one year ago. Pig iron
after months of restraint has taken
puzzling leaps in prices.
In summarizing the situation the
Iron Age to-day says:
Allied buyers of shell steel are
making no effort at finesse on the
price for delivery in the second half
of 1917, ds they were doing four
months ago on first half delivery. 1t
is said unreservedly that France and
Italy will take all the war steel our
manufacturers can furnish for the sec
ond half of next year. One steel COM
100000 tons. Frances needs are very
large.
Whether export buying amounts to
90 or 25 per cent. of productive ca
pacity. it's big unit purchases stand out
i'll contrast with the conservative buy
ing for domestic use. Steelfamine talk
is not warranted, for manufacturers
try to make full allowance for homo
needs in all their refusals of export
business.
1T is difficult to keep up with price
advances. Sheet sales have been very
large and on galvanized prices have
gone up SO to S5 ton. Most of the
tinplate production of the first half of
next year is now under contract.
The pig iron market has cut loose
remarkably after months of tagging.
Chicago reports a scramble for iron
and some makers have advanced quo
tations SO In the week. or to S22 for

81 to s24, Valley furnace. and some
sales of basic have been made at $21.
Export demand had taken so large i
tonnage that important buyers of
foundry and other grades came into
the market precipitately.
