OUTLOOK IN STEEL
INDUSTRY IMPROVES
Increased Inquiry From Auto
Makers Assures Better Pro.
duction Schedule.
Special pIspatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December 25.-Further
increases IN specifications from the
automotive industry, large awards of
fabricated steel, additional strength in
scrap and drastic reduction of con-
SumerS stocks are encouraging features
of the steel market at the present time
according to the weekly summary OF
The Iron Age.
The publication states that a rush
Of new business in January is not looked
for, as many buyers are awaiting further
price tests, but betterment is expected
in proportion to the damming up OF
requirements in recent weeks.
The summary says in part:
Mill operations have been sharply
curtailed, with many units idle for the
entire week. Raw steel output will not
be cat down proportionately, but the
average, counting suspensions, may not
be more than 40 per cent of capacity.
The rate for December promises to be
lower than that for any month, save
in the Summer Of 1924, since the de-
preston of 1921.
1.-The very severity of the fourth
quarter decline in production is
regarded as the best promise of an early
recovery. December's. recession in ingot
output from November may approx
mate November'S 19 per cent drop from
the october rate. The greatest decline
in any single previous month was "a
per cent in December, 1907.
The thoroughness with which both
manufacturing consumers and ware
houses have debated their steel in
ventories definitely calls for an i'm
provement in tonnage releases next
month. This expectation is borne out
by developments at Chicago, where the
blocking of shipments by one of the
worst billiards in years was immediate
ly reflected in increased specifications
from steel users.
1T is noted that the automobile
industry, which has largely passed its
inventory period, is continuing to in
crease its drafts on the mills. First
quarter contracts for alloy steel bars
have been placed by the largest buyers
in the automotive field, and fair Janu-
airy bookings from both motor car
builders and parts makers have been
entered for sheets, strip steel and
carbon steel bars. The Ford Motor Co.
has made large purchases of automotive
accessories and now Is understood to be
aiming at an output of $4,000 cars next
month"
