Government Places Contracts.

The government has awarded con-
tracts for 1900 tons of structural
shapes for hangers. shops and other
buildings and will take bids Monday
on about 1000 tons of steel for other
structures. including a projectile shop
at Charleston, w. Va, the Key bridge
over the Potomac river and various
buildings at the Rock Island arsenal
and the Norfolk and League Island
navy yards. Orders for about $4,000
tons of steel plates, sheets and miscel-
laneous products also have been dis
tributed among the mills on govern
ment account. Prices for these various
commodities will be adjusted when the
trade commission makes it's report.
The placing of larger railroad equip
ment orders in the open market has
been an encouraging development indi-
eating that the steel companies are
prepared to meet commercial as we'll as
government requirements. Recent or
ders for more than 5000 cars and for
120 locomotives have been placed, call
ing for nearly $4,000 tons of steel.
The American Steel and Wire Com
pany has notified customers that here
after only reasonable profits will be
permitted on wire nails and other wire
products. Jobbers who have been SELL
ing nails furnished them by the Steel
Corporation at 1920 per key (the price
to the government) have been selling
at $3.50 to $4.75 per key, but following
the suggestion Of the American COM
pany they will now make sales to the
retail trade at s3.75 per key. Inde-
pendent wire manufacturers are ex-
pected to reduce prices to the level at
which government contracts are being
filled.
