Inquiry for shapes Improves.


Prospective business in structural
shapes is being considered by mills and
fabricators and slight Improvement is
noted in inquiry. Up to the present 100
tons has represented the average tonnage
involved. but this week the inquiries
called for jobs anywhere from 200 to
500 TONS 1t is well known that If the
wage rates could be adjusted to be more
In line with the reduced prices of build
ing materials considerable construction
work would be started. A slight ac-
cumulation OF orders has enabled in
creased operations of shape mills in this
district, and the Cambria Steel Company,
at Johnstown, commenced on Monday
morning in it's structural mill, and the
average operations of the independent
structural mills have increased several
points. So far no tendency to shade
2.45 cents, base, Pittsburg, has de-
veloped.
The outlook In wire products Is not so
rosy as it was few weeks ago. Some
mixed carload orders of galvanized wire.
fencing, nails, &C., from jobbers are
coming in from time to time but busi-
ness is not developing as fast as was
anticipated. Some straight carloads are
being purchased. but that business is
extremely limited. So far as can be
ascertained. no galvanized fencing wire
has been sold for loss than s.95c., base.
Pittsburg. which continues to be named
by tho leading interest as well as by in
dependent mills. 1t is doubtful if opera
tons of independent wire mills will
average in excess OF 40 per cent. Of
capacity, and 1t looks as IL there would
be lowering of the high rate of opera
ton lately maintained by the Steel Cor
poration's wire subsidiary.
The merchant steel market remains
dull and much business is held In abey-
ance. Makers have been approached
with requests for concessions under the
2.35c., base, Pittsburg price, some nut
and bolt manufacturers being active I'm
that regard, but no tendency to shade
that level has developed Operations of
independents are still down very low.
Consequently 1t is not known how long
that shading of prices will be held Off
IL Is believed that an inquiry for a con-
siderable amount of tonnage would bring
a response. Several manufacturers are
making inquiry for refined iron bars.
but complaint that many such inuuirios
travel no further than the price getting

being placed, but cover spot requirements
only, and prices varying from 3.50c. 10

quoted on refined iron bars, the price

STEEL SENTIMENT
Is MORE SANGUINE
Feeling Is That Readjustment
Will Not Be as Severe as
Was Feared.
INDEPENDENTS GAINING
Foundation for Lower Costs Is
Being Laid-Little Inter-
est in Pig Iron.
INDEPENDENTS GAINING

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
PIrTsBURG, Feb. 5.-With the close of
January the iron and steel industry has
finished another month of depression,
which began later than that of many
other industries and so is none the worse
or. What is described as sentiment is
distinctly more sanguine. Predictions as
to the time of a genuine revival in steel
demand have not been shortened, but the
feeling is that the process of readjust-
ment will not prove altogether as pain
full as was feared. Although production
costs cannot well decline with such light
operations as the independents now ex-
perience, the foundation for lower costs
is being laid.
The independent steel mills as a whole
are operating at a better rate than they,
were two or three weeks ago, perhaps at
about 35 per cent. of capacity. against
not more than 25 per cent. during the
last four weeks. There have been sew
eral assumptions on accumulations of
orders and releases from suspensions.
Operations by the United States Steel
Corporation are tapering off slightly, but
they still make spectacular showing,
the aftermath of the double market
~
of 1920.
AS to price shading there does not
seem to be very much in finished steel
products and occasional concessions are
given more attention In some quarters
than they deserve. The steel market of
the future, when the market really will
be of consequence, will not depend upon
what is being done In prices now. The
vital interest Is in costs, not simply in
steel but in everything else also, be-
cause If costs can be got down to rea-
sonable levels there will be widespread
demand and prices will take care OF
themselves.
Pig iron consumers are taking prac-
tically no interest in the market. al
though probably they are well informed
that producers would meet them half
way in the matter of price IL actual busi-
ness in tonnage lots should be offered.
Foundry coke Is in very limited demand,
but there is enough demand for it to
make market. Contract foundry coke
is not closely quotable. there being such
a range in asking prices. which are
practically nominal since It is between
seasons for foundry coke contracting.
Furnace coke on contract is nominally
Sc, that being the common asking price.
but furnaces do not seem to be Interested
in that figure. The coke market thus
is quotable as follows: Spot furnace.
$4.75 to $5 spot foundry, s625 to s6.75;
contract furnace. So. The pig iron mar
ket prices have undergone no change this
week and can be quoted as follows
Bessemer, ssS2; basic. $50; foundry, $50.

Justice Mullan Tells Attendants
That Yankees Take Lead

During the trial Of case before him
yesterday Justice MuIlan, OF the Su-
preme Court, observed that there WAS .
general spirit Of rcst,essncss in the
courtroom. It seemed to afflict lawyers,

Taking his mind from the case at bar,
for a moment, Justice Mullan heard a
distant voice; that seemed to come from
nowhere in particular, but penetrated
the cracks in the courtroom windows
Miller scores the first run for the
Yankees said the mysterious voice.
Justice Mullan smiled. Then he wrote
something on a piece of paper and
handed it TO the witness. He, too. smiled
The other men in the courtroom were
inquisitive about the note that the JUS
tiee handed to the witness.
In order that you may know said
Justice Mullan, what the court handed
to the witness / wish to say that it was
the announcement OF the score in the
worlds championship games: One TO
nothing in favor of the Yankees"
The message picked up By the justice
came from a voice magnfying apparatus
