STEEL TRADE HOPES
TO ADJUST PRICES
Meeting Next Week in Wash
ington of Greatest Inter-
est to Trade
New York. March 1S

Two factors came inf or the lions
share of interest in the steel market
during the last week. The first and
most important is the coming meeting.
In Washington, between the War Indus
tries Board and the members of the
general committee on steel and steel
products of the American Iron and
Steel Institute.
This gathering will be held next We'd
nesday. and II is the hope in the trade
that the arguments decided upon by the
general meeting at the Waldorf here
two weeks ago, which was attended
by representatives of the various lead
ing branches Of the iron and steel in
dustry, will be convincing enough to
obtain some favorable readjustments
OF fixed prices to be effective after
April next.
While there is no assurance what the
Government authorities will recommend
to President Wilson, it is felt generally.
that the matter OF plates will come in
for the greater part of consideration,
- 1t is generally realized that the Gov
ernment VIII need all the plates that
can be turned out.
Domestic demand for steel is still
rather small, but the Government con-
tinues. to take large part of the pro-
4 duction of the mills for war purposes.
and some plants recently have been
& able to catch up to small extent on
their deliveries, which are still behind
schedule on some old contracts.
Y There was quite a gain in the out
put OF the steel plants of the country
during the past week. amounting to
probably or 10 per cent. according TO
some reports received in the trade, and
the point is made that this increase
would have been larger IL the railroad
situation had been better.
On ship plates the output of the ,coun-
5try is about 80 to 80 per cent OF
capacity, in the opinion of some of the
0eet-posted authorities. The United
States Steel Corporation, as in the last
few weeks, is working its plate mills
Il leo per cent. but some of the smaller
rroducers were forced to shut down
! temporarily for repairs. etc, 1t is said
and this caused the lower percentage
for the industry as a whole.
There il no change in pig iron so far
a. the market itself is concerned. Some
Of the inquiries which were reported a
week ago have been taken, but many
sellers are still holding back as 20 ac-
ceptAng future contracts. because of the
hope that a higher fixed price might

small today, the market held well. the
start was steady at an advance OF Z
to IL points with room traders and one
or two commission houses buyers. while
one prominent local operator was the
principle seller, offering all months.
Later, there was q slight reaction
prompted by private report that the
drought had been broken in the Corpus

again turned upward on renewed COW
