Orders for Ship
Steel Swamp Mills
Advancing Prices Fail to Check
the Demand--Covernment
Work Comes First

The American steel trade is over
whelmed with the demand for plates for
vessel construction. It is estimated
that more than 100000 tons of ship
plates arc wanted for delivery within
short period. but the mills are not IN
position to accept the business.
plate makers" says THE Iron Trade
Review" in its weekly summary OF the
market, "are quoting on only about one
sixth OF the business that is offered. A
leading Eastern Pennsylvania plate mill
has advanced lis price for the third
time in less than three weeks, and now
quotes 6.5Oc. mill, or Pittsburgh, on
tank plates and 7.5Oc to Sc on Lloyds
specifications ship plates. The nifty
torpedo boat destroycrs which arc TO be
built for the United States government
will require about $4,000 tons of steel,
il being figured roughly that approXi-
mstely 100 tons Of shapes and 800 tons
Of plates will be required for each
vessel"
The foreign inquiry for steel con-
tinues an important factor The United
States Steel Products Company has
taken a contract for ] 800 tons for a
bridge in Norway. An inquiry for
200 900. tons of rails for Mcsopotamla IS
reported. and fresh lots Of 10000 tons
are wanted by France and Belgium,
while Java would buy $4,000 tons.
Prices at which steel mill products
will be supplied to the government are
under discussion.
without regard TO the concession
which will be made. it is TO be rcmem-
bered." says "The Iron Age" chat the
total consumption for government pur-
poses does not bid fair 10 exceed 2 per
cent Of the country's productive ca
pacity. Much OF it, Of course, will get
first attention, and by that fact penal
:ze domestic consumers in respect to
delivery and price"
Steel pipe manufacturers in the
Pittsburgh district withdrew all prices
yesterday, and Immediately afterward
a leading interest announced that all
sizes of standard steel pipe had been
advanced $40 a ton. The same interest
also stated that it was quoting prices
on oil country goods "only on applica-
ton" Other concerns, as usual, arc
cxpectcd to follow this lead.
