REDUCED AUTO
NEEDS HURTS
STEEL RATE

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Steel
demand has tapered, mainly be-
cause Of smaller specifications
from the automobile industry, but
average ingot production contin-
ues at good rate, with no
sharp recession in early prospect,
the Iron Age will report tomor-
row.
Although steel makers special.
tzing in automobile steelS have
been forced to curtail operations,
other producers are holding their
own or expanding further out
put.
The ingot rate at Chicago, in.
fluenced by releases of pipe steel.
has risen from 90.to 95 per cent
Of capacity, and Alabama opera
tions average "a per cent.
On the other hand, output in
Pittsburgh and the valleys has
receded from 80 to IS per cent.
Raw steel production for the
country at large is estimated at
30 per cent, compared with 81
per cent a week ago, while the
rate of Steel Corporation plants
remains unchanged at IS per
cent.
A more conservative viewpoint
prevails in the steel trade than
a month ago, following the spec
tacular recovery of buying in
January. Certain estimates now
place automotive consumption OF
steel this year at only 80 per
cent of that of 1929, but until the
arrival of open weather gives defl-
mite indications of the volume OF
retail demand for cars, all cal
culations must be regarded as
mere conjectures.
Ultimate consumer purchases
are particularly difficult to an
ticipate in view of the unsettled
business situation that has pre-
vailed since the stock market
crash.
Added contingencies may affect
the flow of steel to the building
industry and farm equipment
plants. President Hoover's pleas
to Congress for economy have
raised doubts as to the extent Of
the Governments public welfare
program, which had been counted
on to stimulate business activity
later in the year.
The recent declines in wheat
and cotton prices have also caused
concern for the future, although
the manufacture of agricultural
machinery has not yet been af-
fected.
While the long view has become
more obscure, prospects for the
next month or two are regarded
as good.
Railroads, fabricators, shipyards
and farm equipment plants con-
tinue to take steel at o high rate.
The carriers have placed num-
erous supplementary rail orders,
calling for 1000 to 5000 tons,
each swelling the excellent back
logs Of rail mills.
Freight equipment purchases
thus far this year have exceeded
those for the same period in 1929
by 1000 cars. Railroad steel now
accounts for 38 per cent of the
total production of a leading
steel interest.
The confidence of the indus
try in the immediate future is
reflected in a firmer attitude on
prices. Plates still show weakness
in certain markets, but structural
shapes are Steadier and bars are
firm.
Scrap markets have an easier
tone at Chicago and at Pitts
burgh, particularly in the latter
center, where fresh demand from
the mills has subsidized.
The Iron Age composite price
for finished steel has advanced
from 2.3O5c toa2.312c a pound.
The pig iron composite had de-
clined from $18 to $17.92 a ton,
the lowest figure since 1928.

 Horsepower Project
WILL DEVELOP THREE LAKES THIS SECTION
San Francisco Pub lis her Ready to Co Ahead
 with Paper Mill

George T. Cameron, pub- fisher of the San Francisco Chronicle, today filed an ap- plication with the Federal Power Commission for a final license to construct a S4,000,- 900 power project near Ju- neau. This was made known here in an Associated Press d e S pa c h received by The Empire.
 The application asks for a license to build a project producing S1,000 horsepower to be used in the operation of a pulp and paper mill on Gastineau Channel.

 Will Speed Report Acting for the Federal Power Commission, B. F. Heintzleman, As- sistant Regional Forester, aided by J. c.

 The $4,0OO,Oo0 estimate of costs submitted with the application. MT. Hentzleman said, covered the wat empower development alone, and did not include the pulp and paper mill project
 Preliminary Work Done
 The filing of the application for license indicates that the pre- liminary investigations and works, carried on by the Cameron inter ests for the past three seasons. is complete, and that the plans for building the project are settled. No indication of the plant site was given, other than that it would be ] located on Gastineau Channel.
 The approval of the plans by the Power Commission is believed to be assured. All of the work that bas been done leading up to the pplication for license has been made known as it progressed to the United States Forest Service anc has had it's approval It is hoped that the field report by Mir.
