STEEL MILLS AWAIT
MANY MORE ORDERS
Production Still Under Mild Peak
Of Last Month, as Reports
Remain Poor.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, May 24.-Steel ingot
production this week has been at &c
or II per cent of capacity, representing
perhaps five points drop from the mild
peak of about month ago. The trade
reports are uniformity unfavorable, ex-
cept as to the large amount OF line
pipe recently booked and the still larger
tonnage said to be in prospect.
However, it appears to have been the
fashion in the last three months to take
quite an unfavorable view of steel pros
poets, perhaps because too high stan
dard was used for comparison.
At the middle of February steel was
doing remarkably WELL When the official
production report came out 1t was seen
that production was only per cent
under February of last year and was
we'll above any other February. Ordi-
narily there would be seasonal increases
after February, but if that occurred
one would have to abandon entirely
the idea that there has been any kind
of depression in business generally,
There have been decreases in steel pro-
duction instead, but they have not been
as great as was apparently being ex'
pected last March by many observers
1t may be unsafe to apply this OBJ
servation to the present and to hold
that by the same token there will be
less decrease in steel activity up to Mid
summer than is now indicated by prac-
ticaHy all the reports, but the point
is we'll worth bearing in mind. The
mills have little backlog business, but
that has been their condition for several
months. Orders and specifications are
hard to get and are needed almost
every day to make up rolling schedules,
but this represents no great change.

SALES OF CIGARETTES
CONTINUE ON UPGRADE

Continued upward trend in sales of
cigarettes thus far in 1880 furnishes
proof that this branch of the tobacco in
dustry is relatively invulnerable to de-
preston. Consumption has maintained
its stride and full year 1880 sales will
probably surpass 130, 000, 1000 Gig
arettes, gain of around 10 per cent, as
compared with the 1929 record, says a
current survey OF the Standard Stats
tics Co. of New York, which continued
in part:
'On the other hand, the saturation
point of cigar smoking has definitely
been reached. Expanding sales of scent
cigars, stimulated by judicious adver-
Using and concentrated in relatively few
popular brands, are obtaining the bulk
of current trade and are gradually elm
mating the high cost producers of ex-
pensive handmade cigars. Consump-
ton of snuff registers the same gradual
increase which has characterized toe
industry for -.;any years.
While no immediate further advances
in wholesale cigarette prices is expected
manufacturers are now enjoying the
benefits of the restoration last Fall to
the $6.40 per thousand level, and in
conjunction with ever increasing sales
volumes, 1880 earnings should establish
new high records. On the other hand,
profits of cigar manufacturers have
lately been sharply reduced, and sub
stantial near term improvement Is not
