CLEVELAND, April 2e.-Another
sharp rise in steel production, to ~
per cent. was forecast during the COM
ing week by the magazine Steel
Compared with IS per cent last week
and 20h per cent two weeks ago, this
is the largest rise Of the depression
and recoups all the ground lost since

This bulge in operations, the review
continued. Is traceable to definite con-
sumner requirements. placed prior to an
nouncement Of Washington's inf1a-
tionary program.
Extent Of Gains.
Production gains were made during
the week in all districts except De-
troit, which held to 80 per cent. Cleve-
land moved up to SO per cent; Pitts
burgh to 81 per cent, Chicago to 2312,
Eastern Pennsylvania to IA, Youngs-
town to %, Buffalo to IS and Birming-
ham to 20.
Because some mills are picking semi
finished steel of their stock piles, nm
ishing mill activity has forged ahead

got rate implies, the magazine said.

cations of further improvements in iron
and steel demand, followed by the gen.
eral strengthening Of commodity prices,

the strong underlying aspirations Tor

Scrap rose so sharply last week that
dealers began to avoid orders. Adjust
ments in foreign exchanges began to
lessen foreign competition in pig iron,
iron ore and ferro alloys. On practically
every finished product, makers talked
Of impending price advances. And to

the week they went back to the Spring
months of 1882.
Larger transactions and an apparent
scarcity Of scrap again raised prices
so cents to 81 in all districts.
Iron Shipments Increase.
"A strong rising trend in pig iron
shipments is attributed in considerable
measure to the higher prices of scrap
for foundry mixtures. With a rush OF
new inquiries, Pittsburgh furnaces are
Withdrawing pig iron quotations. SOUTH
ern makers are adopting new methods
of quoting in the North, making their
prices tust competitive with Northern
