OUTLOOK IN STEEL,
TRADE IS CLOUDED
Seasonal influences and Pes
Simism Cited as Factors
by Iron Age.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Seasonal IN
fiuences, accentuated by current pessir-
ism, obscure the outlook ir. the iron and
steel trade, Iron Age will say tomorrow
in its weekly review of the industry.
Summer shutdowns of two weeks or
more by number of large steel-con-
suming plants, notably in Detroit" the
review will state, coupled with the GUS
tomary midyear suspensions for inven-
tory in virtually all lines of industry
make it clear that, temporarily at least,
iron and steel demand will undergo fur
ther reduction.
ON the other hand, heavy pipe line
bookings and mounting requirements in
structural steel remain encouraging fac
tors, and an impending, general buSineAS
recovery is SenSed by leaders of the steel
industry who have passed through many
cycles of trade expansion and contrac-
ton. They believe that curtailment| Of
buying has been overdone, and they see
signs of q reaction in the other direc-
tion in scattered evidences of more
liberal purchases of various products.
plans of the United States Steel Cor
poration to bring as much ore down the
lakes as in 1929 are interpreted as indi-
poets for the last half of the year. The
scheduled blowing in of two blast fur
naces by large Pittsburgh independent
early next month may point to similar
confidence, although probably more
largely influenced by pressure for line
pipe deliveries.
steel ingot production for the coun-
try at large has declined to 81 per cent
from the 65 per cent rate of week ago.
Companies catering to the automobile
trade are curtailing the most, while
those having large capacities in pipe are
holding their own or making gains. The
Steel Corporation average, at "a per
| cent is three or four points higher than
a fortnight ago.
Construction work continues to de-
velop an increasing volume. New struc-
| tural steel projects, of $1,000 tons, are
| the largest this year with the exception
of two weeks ago, when they totaled
10000 tons. A highway project in Jer-
| sey City and two sections of New York
| Subway alone account for nearly $4,000
| TONS More structural steel business is
| in prospect than at any time in the past
year.
"The couftry's capacity in line pipe
Is fully committed for SIX months. The
Republic Steel Corporation has booked
an additional order for 10000 tons from
| the MisSouri-Kansas Pipe Line Co. The
| Sun OIL Co. is IN the market for 200
! miles of 20-inch gas pipe and the Ajax
| Pipe Line will soon buy against its IN
quiry for 100000 tons. 1t is becoming
difficult to find mills that can take or
| ders for line pipe projects scheduled for
completion this year.
The Iron Age composite prices are
lower. That for finished steel fell to
2.l85 cents a pound from 2.214 cents a
pound at which it held for flve weeks.
The pig iron composite is now Sl7.42,
against $3.50 for the last three weeks.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Selling con-
tinued on the curb market today at a
steady pace as volume of trading in
creased. Although virtually all Sec
tions of the list declined, utilities, in
vestment trusts, trading corporations
store shares and miscellaneous indus
trials registered the widest losses.
Among standard stocks Electric Bond
& Share got below its previous close.
This was true also of United Light g.
Power A, Niagara Hudson Power, Cities
Service and Standard OIL of Indiana.
The widest individual break took place
in Glen Alden Coal, which in the last
hour was down 81 u points.
Increased trading, big blocks of lead
ing stocks and wide breaks in hereto
fore firm issues featured forenoon
trading. Sales of 4o5, 100 shares during
this period compared with 275,9 800 in
the same period Tuesday. The large
openings included 12.100 shares of Elec-

around 96, at which level it was said to
be supported by one of the large local
banks. It was attacked by the bears
repeatedly, but until today Glen Alden
refused to decline The 18-point drop
was accomplished on six transactions.
Rails make up no important part of
the curb list, yet the few on this ex-
change have moved down with the same
speed as those on the big board. Pitts
burgh & Lake Erie, which should bene.
fit from any improvement in the steel
industry, hit new low.
Newmont Mining rapidly declined ;

their previous lows, and Noranda re-
