Iron and Steel ReUiet

Cleveland, December 5.-(SpeciaL) The Iron Trade Review today says: Prsslaoa: wilson's strictureS sn prof iteerlng and the necessity for further price regulation find little application to the iron and steel industry where re- adjustment to a greatly reduced price level practically has been completed. Comparisons from the agreed schedules are inconsequental at present
 War requirements are being accommo- dated with the utmost dispatch, and heavy tonnages are being taken on weekly. It is officially estimated that the Steel corporation now is devoting so per cent of it's capacity to govern ment needs and has made large ap- propriations especially to serve war busi- ness, Plate makers are discounting an expectation that practically the entire 1918 output of both sheared and univer- sals will be required by the government
 Timely and vigorous efforts are being made by the government to restore ca pacity production in iron and steel and some salutary effects are already ap- bearing. The tension from coke short ages has been eased somewhat, although more furnaces stil! are banked. The Steel corporation is operating at not
