DULL STEEL TRADE
ARRIVES EARLIER
Pace of Decrease in Production
Moderating-Portend Not Nee
essarily Unfavorable.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PITTSBURG, July 5.-Summer dull
ness came over the steel trade some
what earlier than usual, and the pace
of decrease on steel production is now
moderating, ingot production last week
being SO to 81 per cent, against IS per
cent estimated for the previous week.
Recently the rate was losing 2 or 3
points week 4s-- ~ 80 49,
Just what this early Summer dizziness
portends cannot be determined but it
is not necessarily unfavorahle. There
was something else in the behavior of
steel not well explained even after the
reaching of the peak production rate
in February, instead of the usual March
or April. An explanation which would
fit both cases, though not necessarily
correct, is that there was too much
confidence early in the year on the
part of buyers and too little confidence
later.
Observing the actual course of gen.
eral business as indicated by car load
tngs and special lines, like automobiles
and steel, second-quarter activity was
in usual relation to first-quarter activity,
changes being only seasonal. The
quantitative statistics show that the
year has not been changing its color as
the time passed.
AS trade sentiment has greatly
changed it is logical conclusion that
there was too optimistic a feeling early
In the year, and lately too pesismistic
a feeling. Perhaps, therefore, the time
is getting ripe for another swing of
the sentiment pendulum.
AS to trade itself, no one seems to
doubt that steel will increase in activity
after its Summer dizziness. It would be
easy enough for it to do that, as in
most consuming lines 1t is very dull, the
conspicuous exceptions being line pipe
and fabricated structural steel.
