IN THE STEEL and
Pig iron MARKET
The Iron Age says:

The open market that has existed
recently In steel products has not
been generally recognized because 1t
did not show widespread and sensa-
without any concert, has been limiting
operations to the business coming in.
In the past week that has meant fur
Their shutting down Of blast furnaces
and curtailment Of working time at
steel works.
Generally q so per cent. operation
Independent companies. The Steel
corporation is on 70 per cent. basis
in the Chicago district and Is nearer
to so per cent. In Pittsburgh and the
Valleys.
Most blast furnaces are still piling
iron. OF the Carnegie Steel conapany's
honing and Shenango valleys, 20 are
idle out Of As.
Little interest has been taken i'll the
bulletins of further parleys over prices
at Washington. The steel trade has
regarded the stabilizing episode as
ended when executive approval was
withheld from prices in which the
government had asked the public to
have confidence
The deviations from the so-caIled
official prices are small and are the
exception. New business is on so linn
tied a scale that price cutting has
little motive, and since costs increase
as output falls off, the chances of the
much heralded deep cuts have grown
less The belief that output has now
reached or even gone below bare
wear all tear basis has even given
rise to d more cheerful feeling, par
ticularly in the Chicago district.
Ali the large steel companies have
maintained wages. In some COM
munities where an iron or steel plant
was the chief dependence, workmen
have accepted some reduction in
wages to prevent shutdown. A
Southern steel company has reduced
wages ID per cent. Some blast fur
mace reductions have come also.
