OUTLOOK IN STEEL
TRADE IS HOPEFUL
Producers Expect First Wave
of Buying Orders This
Week.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, April l1.-SteeI pro-
ducers expect the first wave of buying
from the automotive field this week, the
magazine Steel said.
Ford has taken prices on fender
stock" the magazine stated, and "a
Northern Ohio mill has reopened on
the strength of an order for strip and
plates. Many mills report more liberal
releases against old direct orders and
broader inquiry from parts makers.
1t VIII take several weeks to put pro-
duction above 900 and steel needs will
accelerate gradually, but steel-making
operations at Pittsburgh, Youngstown,
Cleveland and Chicago should feel some
impulse beginning this week.
This Ford influence may turn the
corner IN steel production and supply
a rebound from last weeks decline of 1
point to % per cent, a rate no better
than New Year week and the lowest
since then. Sentiment also was at its
lowest ebb last week and the daily
lngot rate in March eased to 52,253
tons, 24.6 per cent of capacity.
Helping the automobile industry to
nghten the background of this dark
picture OF production is the noteworthy
stSoA'AtJ NOiAoAdClAlS lIlc Times -- IN
building. Topped by the award of 8 500
tons for bridge at Troy, N. Y, struc-
tural awards last week totaled 1903
tons. compared with a weekly average
OF 1889 tons for 1882 to date.
Railroads are ordering only track
fastenings in quantity, but an improve
ment in freight traffic of Western lines
and reopening of more repair shops
build up hopes of slightly larger steel
requirements.
Foreign iron and steel are increas-
lngly aggravating, penetrating as far as
Cleveland
Due mainly to reductions in foundry
pig iron at Chicago and basic iron in
Eastern Pennsylvania, SteeTs iron and
steel price composite this week is off 7
cents to $29.74, lowest since November,
1915. Finished steel prices appear to be
holding fairly well, though under some
pressure at Detroit. Steel's finished steel
composite remains S47.62 and the steel
works scrap composite continues S7.87."

CURB SHARES EASE
AS OFFERINGS GAIN
Early Advances Are Wiped
Out as Pivotal Issues
Decline.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


NEW YORK, April 1l-Trifling gains
registered at the opening of the Curb
Exchange today were quickly erased as
the session progressed. Unlike in ses-
SionS last week, the selling was not con-
centrated in a few Midwestern cities,
but came from many quarters. Most
of it was of the liquidating variety.
Electric Bond & Share was down
more than point in forenoon dealings
as Boston dispatches indicated that
officers of the company in their own
name held only a little more than one
fifth of l per cent OF the present A.
