RATIO Of STEEL
OUTPUT OFF
APPOINT

NEW YORK, July 26 G.N.S0.
Steel operations have declined for
the second consecutive week
under the influence Of lower fin
ished steel demand, with current
output placed at 81 per cent of
capacity, as against the So per
cent rate a week ago, the Iron
Age Review reports today.
While production in most mar
ket centers has remained un-
changed, the Chicago rate de-
clined from 80 to Sc per cent
and the Cleveland-Lorain average
from 10 to CT per cent.
Scrap Prices Rise
A favorable feature has been
the mark-up in sc<ap prices to
new high levels for the year,
with advances of 81 at Phila-
delphia and so cents at Pitts
burgh raising the composite price
Of heavy melting scrap from
$11.5S to $12.08 a gross ton.
Specifications for most Of the
lighter, finished steel products
continue to decline, but releases
Of bars, plates, shapes, pipe and
wire products are growing and in
some districts have prevented any
decline in aggregate bookings.
The automotive industry contin-
ues to press for deliveries against
contracts but is placing little new
business.
Expected shrinkage in the steel
requirements of the automobile
industry may be counterbalanced
by larger demands from the
heavy industries.
Fabricated Awards Off
Fabricated structural steel
awards of the week, at 6,225 tons,
compare with 1900 tons week
ago. Lettings of reinforcing bars
are large, totaling $3.50 tons.
Advances in pig iron prices are
now well established and, though
new business is light, shipments
against contracts continue to in
crease. At Chicago, July ship
ments are running 80 per cent
ahead of those of June. At
Cleveland, the gain is 40 per cent.
The Iron Age composite prices
for pig iron and finished steel
are unchanged at $3.50 a gross
ton and 1870 a lb. respectively.
