STEEL PRODUCTION
REDUCED BY z PCT.
Current Developments Throw
Little Light on Course

NEW YORK, May 20.-The iron and
steel market is drifting and current de-
velopments throw little light on It's
course, Iron Age will say tomorrow In
its weekly review Of the industry.
Steel ingot production Is unchanged
in most centers" the review says. but
has given further ground at Pittsburgh,
causing the national average to decline
from AZ per cent to IS per cent of ca
pacity. Steel Corporation operations,
which have been conforming rather
closely to the general trend. are esti-
mated at point or two above the rate
for the entire country.
Steel shipments are only fractionally
lower than in April, but new business
is sagging. particularly from the auto
mobile industry. Construction activity
is the only steel outlet promising early
expansion. The weeks awards of line
both pipe and fabricated structural
steel have failed thus far to measure up
to the large amount Of inquiry that has
come out for figures. New Structural
projects added to the pending list dur
ing the week total So 500 tons; yet con-
tracts actually placed, at only 10000
tons, make an even poorer showing than
q week ago, when they aggregated 49,
500 tons.
Prices Are Stin Weak.
"The tone of prices Is still weak, al
though the diminishing size Of orders 10
tending to relieve the pressure for con-
cessions. Scrap prices are soft and here
and there have given further ground,
but show signs OF approaching bottom.
The Iron Age composite for heavy
melting scrap is unchanged at 1888 o
ton, following five weeks of uninter-
rupted decline. Billets, slabs and sheet
bars are of 81 ton to $29, Pittsburgh
or youngstown, and wire nails have re-

Barge construction in the Pittsburgh
district is at fair rate, with improve
