PRESSURE PIPE SHOPS OBTAIN MANY ORDERS
Future Deliveries Now Chief Con.
 cern Of District Makers

Makers of pressure pipe, which is used for water and gas mains, are principally concerned over future de- liveries. Orders for large tonnage come consistently to shops already overloaded with the popular sizes.
 The United States Pipe company is low bidder on $500 tons for the city of Chicago. This order will be rolled at one of the district shops
 Pressure pipe was slow to advance, but It has latterly done so in re- sponse to the increase In price Of pig iron. Revised base of the lead ing interest at close of the week was as follows: Four inch sizes. 51 to s52; six inch sizes, s47 to s4S; eight inches to 12 inches, $45 to s46. Larger sizes will take about the same base as eight to twelve inches.
 The producers are crowded to the gunwales with the popular sizes, such as six inches.
 The most significant of recent or ders for pressure pipe is regarded by the trade to be that for 1,200 tons of De Lavaud process pipe for the town Of Marion, N. C., where. owing to swiftness of the mountain stream source of water supply, extra strength pipe is required.
