But Fears of Rail Strike Do
Not Cause Rush of Orders.

Steel men throughout the country dc

the prospect Of a general railroad strike

OF hurried orders. Neither has the
strike threat stopped the buying Of steel

Some manufacturing consumers of
pig iron and steel who could deliver

Iron Age, have made an effort to insure
raw material supplies.

Chicago the largest producer came up
furnaces were blown in this month by
an independent producer at Pittsburgh |:
another has gone in at Youngstown,

The Iron Trade ReUie,1 says:
Belief in any early reduction of
freight rates considered fundamental to
a revival in iron and steel has beei.
strengthened by developments of the
last week. Those events following
closely the 2s per cent. reduction in ore
rates have brought producers and con-
sumers to highly expectant state.
Possibility OF lower rail prices for
1922 delivery depends on the amount
and scope Of freight rate reductions. 1t
Is not likely that the mills will cut
prices until rates on raw materials are
back to the level that prevailed before

The Iron Trade Rerleir's composite

reports Of European pig iron having
been sold to pipe makers in the Della

a reduction in the 1922 crop were
discussed to-day at a conference with
President Zayas by the Federal Sugar
Finance Commission and representa-
tives of the Cuban sugar industry.
While no definite agreement was
reached the conference is believed to
have resulted in the abandonment OF
the sugar interests campaign to abol-
ish the commission and determination
to cooperate.
President Zayas will take up the
situation with all parties to formulate
definite measures for the quick sale Of
surplus and the limitation of coming
crops.
