 Steel news was in line with ex- pectations. The Iron Age. how ever, found the decline because of the holiday less than had been ail- ticipated. It placed production at 13 per cent of capacity, against IA per cent a week ago. Dow, Jones x Company estimated the industry as a whole at 12 1-2 per cent, a. gainst IA 1-2 a week ago and 10 1-2 per cent two weeks ago. Ik found U. s. Steele corporation at 12 per cent, against 15 per cent an dthe leading Independents at about 13 per cent, against IA Ia per cent.
