STEEL AND PIG
 IRON MARKET
The Iron Age says:


 Demand for steel has improved measurably and sentiment throughout the trade has turned for the better. Some of the change is due to the fail ure of the Railroad administration to break the price of rails and to the belief that the 200, 1000 tons grudgingly placed must be followed by a much larger amount. Here and there slight reductions are made from the March 21 schedule on finished steel, but man ufacturers generally have been f1rmer than buyers expected them to be.
 Predictions of lower prices are now less frequent and less confident. Yet there is thus far no distinct improve ment in the scale of mill operations. The business of the past week is thought much of because the trade has got on so long on so little,
 Significant contracts are those just closed }by two large automobile com panies, one amounting to more than 300,0O0 tons of billets. sheets, wire and tubes, on which deliveries extend into 1920. A third motor car builder is now in the market for a large tom mage. While no formal guarantee of prices was made on these contracts
 
 revision on undelivered portions if the market declines.
 More buyers have come into the market in the past ten days seeking to make contracts for SO to 90 days whereas hand tom outh buying has been their rule for six months. A 6000-t ton sheet-bar contrac ct is an ex- ample.
 The Railroad administration has bought. under protest, the 100000 tons of steel rails on which bids were taken May 17, paying SAT for open hearth rails, the price named by the Bethlehem, Lackawanna. Colorado, Carnegie, Illinois and Tennessee com panies. The Midvale bid was $57 for open hearth and $55 for Bessem CT rails The Lackawanna and Bethle- hem awards were 10000 tons, while the Colorado mill received 10000 tons and the three Steel corporation sub sidaries 100000 tons.
 It is evident that urgent needs of the railroads have been ignored while the director general has been fighting to break the steel market since de- livery of all the 100000 tons in 60 days is called for and more than go lines will share in the order, an aver age of 4,000 tons each. Further buy ing is looked for, as legitimate needs are put at a million tons more.
 Contributing to the better feeling in the market is the decision to rein- state on car builders books some 0,000 cars in France. An earlier lot of 10000 cars is now definitely can celed, an arrangement which, it ap- pears, was forced by the government as a consideration. The new cars will have to be sold subsequently, in Flu rope when the United States has no use for them
 Easier ocean freight rates have put life into export inquiries, which are now developing into business in an in creasing volume. Our cable reports the sale of billets at $63, delivered in England, which represents no cut from the Pittsburgh price, counting
