REVIVAL IN STEEL
SEEN IN EARLY FALL
Trade Expects Upturn to Follow
Usually Dull Summer
Months.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, June 14.-Predic-
tions are now quite general that there
will be a marked revival in steel de-
mand about September l, making a
decided upturn, and 1t Is remarked
that steel producers are no longer
concerning themselves much about the
next two months.
That makes smooth reading, but it
is not so good as it looks. 1t is clear
that there will be a decidedly dull
Summer, and the duller a Summer is
the easier it is for a revival to occur;
but that may be only in the nature Of
a necessary rebound, hence of no great
significance compared with the activity
there has been in steel thus far in
the year.
The surprising May steel ingot pro-
duction report showed decidedly less
tonnage than there was reason to ex-
pect. In February and March pro-
duction as oficially reported substan-
TALLY exceeded weekly trade estimates
of producing rates, while in April
there was distinct excess. May was
the other way, running below the esti-
mates. Comparing average daily rates
of Bessemer and open-hearth steel in
got production. March was 81 per
cent under February, April "a per
cent under march anu May o'i per
cent under April.
Decreases in steel demand are quite
general. but not universal. The ex-
ceptionS are fabricated structural steel
work, which Is holding up rather we'll,
comparing decidedly better with the
last two years than do many lines.
and line pipe, which is extremely active
relative to capacity.
Prices of some finished steel products
are steady and so low relative TO cost
as to indicate there will be little, if
any. further decline. Bars, shapes and
plates, which represent a large ton
mage, are not in that category. There
is A defined carload and small lot
market while large orders have been
going at various prices, and in time
the open market will presumably have
