Big STEEL TONNAGE
AWAITS PRICE-FIXING
Failure of Producers and Gov
ernment to Get Together
Holds Up Business

New York, March 15.-4The postpone
ment OF the meeting of the steel manu-
facturers with the industrial board OF
the Department of Commerce in WASH
ington until next Wednesday. due to the
fact that Judge e. II. Gary. president
of the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute. was unable to make the trip be-
cause he was suffering from cold,
caused keen disappointment in some
steel circles.
It has been. and still is, the universal
impression that just as soon as the steel
men and government officials get to-
gether' and reach an agreement on prices
at which the government departments
Will place their steel orders a better de-
mand will be in evidence from the regu-
lar consumers of STEEL
As matter of fact, some of the
best posted steel authorities are of
the firm opinion that there is a cCn-
siderable amount of tonnage awaiting
action by the Washington conference,
and it is hoped that at the meeting next
Wednesday the entire situation will be
adjusted In such a way that confidence
will result on the part of the general
consuming trade.
There is no doubt that buyers are
waiting for the bottom of the market
loi Steei DTOuuCC5 10 De reached. IN tnlS
connection. however, it Is known that
the opinions of buyers and sellers as to
how low prices should go are far apart.
and about the only factor that will ad-
just the matter is an announcement
from Washington that prices have
reached point where governmental de-
partments feel they are safe in placing
orders for their enormous requirements.
A great tonnage is eventually coming
to the steel makers of the country from
the railroad administration. Navy De-
partment, Emergency Fleet Corporation
and other Federal bodies, and when
these contracts make their appearance
a much better feeling will exist in the
steel trade on the part of consumers as
well as producers
Steel men " state emphatcally that
there are large orders coming for the
railroads of the country which have
been starved for three years so far as
their steel requirements are concerned
1t is known that not a few roads are
clamoripg for rails with which to re.
place those now on their lines, and the
same is true of much of the equipment
now in use.
