RESISTANCE TO HIGH
STEEL PRICES APPEARS
Some Building Projects Laid Aside
Because Of Cost of
Materials.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 19.-In the
steel industry the advance in prices
has arrived at stage which prom
ises to develop resistance on the
part of consumers. The effect is not
a marked one and strong demand for
early bookings is stilli apparent.
Nevertheless, IL is stated in the trade
that a few building projects have
been laid aside because of present
prices and that high cost of ma
terials may curb the buying of rail
road cars
Production of steel is in excess of
80 per cent of war inflated capacity
and is believed to be about equal to
current consumption. The keen de-
mand is thought to come. from Il de-
sire to enlarge stocks and to insure
future supplies. Taking the broad
er view, the trade is now attempting
to foresee the situation which is
likely to exist during the latter
part of the year. Opinion on the
point shows considerable diversity.
