STEEL ORDERS
Prices Often Left to Be Fixed
Later; Railroads to
Buy Heavily

New York. Nov 20. - Iron and
steel markets are still dominated by
Interpretation of heavy buying and
for some months the difficulty of
getting full supplies will be greater
than it is at the present time. ac-
cording to The Iron Age in its week
ly review. In spite of the fact that
the supply is increasing, consumers
of steel are eXerting great pressure
to get mills to enter their orders
for the first half of next year. In
some cases prices are left to be fXed
later, but most products are not will
ing to make contracts until present
uncertainties as to fuel supply and
costs are cleared up.
Some symptoms of runaway
market in pig iron have appeared.
but as the main pressure is for early
delivery and the supply of such iron
is not large the scramble has been
limited" says the review. In next
years iron there is not yet the gen.
eral buying nor the general willing
ness to sefi that combine to produce
a broad movement.
Estimates that the railroads will
buy 100000 tons of rails when they
are turned back are considered con-
servative, in view of tentative in
quiries by the Pennsylvania and New
York Central lines. In the Chicago
district pending inquiry amounts to
250,000 tons. In view of the car and
motive power scarcity that is already
menacing winter distribution of fuel
and steel figures for next years
needs exceeding 100000 for cars
and 5000 for locomtives are not
considered excessive"
