Lower Prices and Output
May Come Before End

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 5.-The iron
and steel business is still on the up
swing, both .as to production and
prices. Just how far that swing will
carry is uncertain, but some excel
lent authorities predicted today there
would be some slight drop noticeable
in both output and prices before the
end of the second quarter. In the
meantime higher prices are develop
ing.
Neither Carnegie Steel nor Jones &
Laughlin, in the Pittsburgh district,
have changed from the high rate at
which they have been operating. Any
falling off shown this week will have
been due to cold weather. The Car

So blast furnaces and Jones & Laugh
lin have IL out OF IL In blast. These
furnaces continue to turn out sum
cient iron for the open hearths and
further price increases for this prod
uct are not now being discussed.
Several Advances Made.
Advances have been made in sheets,
wire and heavy rolled products in
Pittsburgh territory by various IN
terests. but no change has been made
there in automobile sheets, which re-
main at 4.75 cents a pound. One of
the Pittsburgh independents has
jumped wire SO ton and there are
indications others will follow suit Of
fetal advances of So a ton in heavy
products, steel bars, shapes and plates
has been put into effect in Pittsburgh,
but these did not bring the level
above that current unofficially for
those grades for the last two weeks.
Hesitancy In pig iron buying is
pronounced. Firmness in coke prices
Ia sufficient to keep prices fairly
steady, but little activity is expected
until the foundries come into the
market for second quarter require
ments. Scrap iron markets are weak.
with consumers apparently supplied
for p month ahead.
Ohio Plants Rushed.
American Sheet and Tin Plate
plants In Ohio are working at a high
rate of production and prices are up
So ton except for automobile sheets.
The Youngstown iron and steel pro-
ducers are at well over 80 per cent of
capacity. 1t is believed large
volume of orders will be released as
soon as the weather moderates and
settles down.
