STEEL MEN SEE LITTLE
HOPE IN ORE RATE CUT
Fear Buyers May Expect Fur.
ther Reductions.

Steel men see little encouragement for
immediate improvement in the industry
as a result Of the 2s per cent. reduction
in freight rates on iron ore from lower
lake prots and the seaboard effective
October 20, according to the weekly re-
views of the industry The cut means
little to the trade. it is pointed out. ex-
cept as 1t may point to lower freight
rates on coal. coke and possibly finished
materials
While there has been much call from
iron and steel producers for lower
freights as a stimulant to business"
says the Iron Age, fear is now ex-
pressed in the same quarters that buyers
may be encouraged by the reduction on
ore to wait for similar action on pig
iron and rolled steel and then to look
for lower market prices. Producers con-
tend that any saving on freights would
merely act to reduce their losses"
ut is pointed out that nearly all blast
furnaces have on hand enough ore
moved on high freights to last until
spring. On allsore shipped after Oct1
ber 90 the saving would be rs cents q
ton of pig iron at Pittsburgh and Sc
cents at Youngstown"
