j. S. STEEL TRADE
PROF|TSBY STRIKE
will Open Fields to America
.
Formerly Supplied by
the British.

periaI D,spa,ch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 5.-There has
been a definite and substantial up
ward turn in the steel industry in
the last two weeks and the consensus
of opinion in the Pittsburgh. Biz
minSham and Ohio districts is that
it will continue. The iron mines OF
the Minnesota ranges are laying out
their Summer production and ship
ping schedules accordingly.
The British industrial strike will
not increase direct shipments OF
American steel products to England
but it will give opportunity for the
American manufacturers to break
into other foreign markets, where
heretofore British competition has
been strong. Even if the strike is
of short duration the unsettlement
II has produced is sure TO give other
steel making nations an advantage.
This IS especially true in the Orient
and South America.
Steady Small Buying.
While few bulk orders have come
into the Pittsburgh district since
consumers are keeping their stocks
down. steady small buying has kept
the production ratio at so 10 So per
cent of capacity. while in Youngs-
town the rate is about 10 per cent
under those figures. The railroads
say there has been reduction OF
steel tonnage handled by them, but
admit the increase in the amount
moved by river accounts for this to
a large extent. Establishment of
large stocks at lower Mississippi
River points for shippent to the
Southwest continues.
The tin plate now being shipped
was ordered some time ago in most
cases This is one product on which
the British strike may have a marked
effect, since the United States was
expected to buy about $23.000,000 to
SIS 200, 900 worth of British tin this
Year
The demand for automobile steel
has taken healthy brace. not only
due to weather conditions, but to the
prospect that continuation of the
strike will arouse a sudden foreign
demand.
Small Foreign Autos.
The small light car of the bug
type so popular in England was ex-
pected to break into this market in
1926. The British and French makers
have SPECIALIZED in automobiles of this
type and they felt there now were
warrant a sally into our markets.
The arrival of the British type prob
ably will be delayed and an American
firm will put two such cars on the
market around June l.
The Peugeot Automobile Co. of
France has announced that it's bug
cars will be rushed into the market
here and possibly manufactured in
this country.
The American bug car TO be ex-
plotted has a 100-inch wheel base, a
4-cylinder engine with 3ls-inch bore
and As inch. stroke. 4wheel brakes
and balloon tires. 1t is said to be
capable of a speed of 80 to 80 miles
an hour. giving % to 80 miles to the
gellon of gas.
England IN 1925 bought $1S,733 900
worth of automobiles from the United
States.

U. S. LOSING FOREIGN CORN
TRADE TO ARGENTINA
Department of Agriculture Sees
Way to Regain Business-Would
Demonstrate Lower Grades.

The United States is losing out to
Argentina in the competition for the
European corn trade. but the Depart
ment of Agriculture believes that eX-
ports of American corn might he ma
terially increased if European i'm
rorters could be convinced Of the
feeding and industrial possibilities of
the lower grades of the grain.
Argentina exported about 100000
bushels of corn to Europe in 1924.
This was approximately equal to
American exports in 1921. but much
in excess Of the average for the past
five years. In 1924 American exports
had shrunk to 100000 bushels.
Twenty-Five years ago this country
was exporting about 100000 900
bushels annually.
European importers are said gen
orally to prefer the Argentine corn
because it Is of the hard flint variety
and stands the sea voyage better, al
though many European buyers prefer
the American grain because of its
higher starch content.

The new five million dollar Pontiac
Six factory which will bring Oak

The new factory will be the last

conceded that if such a bearish esti-
mate had appeared a week ago it
would have caused a bad break in
stocks and the fact that no such Sc
