A further increase IN the untitled
orders of the United States Steel Cor
poration IN January brought the total
at the end Of that month up to 1885,
AL tons, the greatest tonnage since
January, 1918. when orders were s,477-

bookings over December was 1,o2o.o15
tons. On November 80 last untitled
orders aggregated 7.12s,sso tons and at
the end Of October 6,472, ,e6S tons.
Never before in the history Of The
steel Corporation has there been such
large untitled tonnage gain in any
silnliar period as was reported in Jan
uary. Inc nearest approach were the
tonnage increases for November and
december, 1918, when the aggregate
gam was i,532,o2S tons, bringing the
giand total at the. close of 1916 TO H.
"a ,zoe tons. The peak Of the orders

"nen at the end Of April. 1917. tbs
total Of untitled orders reached 12.1ss-

me abnormally large gain in the
January bookings was said to be &c
counted TOR n part by the inability Of
