STEEL MILLS BUSY
ORDERS HOLDING UP
Sheet and Wire Products Cut in
Order to Stimulate
Trade.

NEW YORK. June "a OP).-In the
volume of business flowing to the
mills, the steel industry continues to
make a better showing than in re-
spect to prices. Iron Age says.
Sheets and wire products are 81 to
81 a ton lower this week and in some
markets plates and cold-rolled stripped
steel are less stable, while in the
Central West there are indications OF
weakness in semi-finished steel.
The comparative steadiness of mill
operations and the frequency. and,
in some cases, the urgency of cur
rent orders are still the marked
feature of the situation. Shipments
of rolled products are large and for
the first six months of the year are
estimated at more than 100000 tons
in excess of those for the first half
of 1924.
