Coal Strike Hurts Business Among
 Steel Producers

Cleveland O.. June Especially The Iron Trade Review today says;
 With the receipt of new tonnage still In excess of shipments as mis- eellaneous business expands, and production under restraint because of the coal strike. a situation of grow ing congestion in steel continues to develop. While certain of the larger producers, including the steel cor potation are holding to minimum quotations their deliveries are stead fly extending and growing portion of the going business of the marNet IS being taken on a higher basis.
 After week of maneuvering and conference between the shippers and the railroads. the seasons lake ore prices still remain unsettled but may be announced this week. The rail- road executives finally have refused to make a voluntary reduction of the upper lake rates. A clarifying action in this matter is the order of the interstate commerce commission granting the railroads permission to iut in effect within five days the 10 per cent reduction on lower lake freiehts and not await until July l.
 May production of pig iron again went forward sharply, emphasizing the small effect of the coal strike on operations during that period. The gross increase over April was 23g. 1S7 tons, making the total 2,3o9.3tS tons. This is the largest monthly output since January, 1921, and 1t represents an increase Of 167 per cent over the low point of activity last July. The number of furnaces in blast on the last day of the month was increased to l75, a net gain of 14.
 The June outlook for continuing increases of iron production is less promising as the cumulative effects of the dragged out coal strike more clearly are beginning to be felt.
 Small changes continue in The Iron Trade Review composite of 14 iron and steel products. The average this week is S36.72. compared with s35.cf last week, $3G.62 two weeks ago. S366 three weeks ago and s32.S0 the recent low mark. Cars awarded in May numbered 1S,240 as com pared with 3l 490 in April but were larger than any of the first three months of the year. The total for the first five months is s7,225, or more than three times that of all 1921.
 Structural steel awards are keep ing up in fair volume though they are not up to the April. or early May level, New contracts reported this week total 24,000 tons. Pig iron buying is on much smaller scale all around.
 The principal item in the export market is the purchase Of 56,e0o boxes of tin plate by the Nippon Oil company of Japan, which was equal lY divided between the steel cor poration and the Weirton Steel com pany.
