SLIGHT GAIN likely
AT STEEL PLANTS
Weeks Operations Maj
Climb, Contrary to Usual
Year.End LuII.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 4.-Contrary
TO the usual year-end trend, the
magazine Steel states that steelworks
operations are expected to hold between
% and 29 per cent of capacity for the
third successive week.
"Under the stimulus Of gradually
mounting shipments" the Weekly Re
view adds, operations this week may
develop a slight rise, contrary TO the
seasonal trend, which usually begins to
draw down the rate from the middle of
November to the close Of the year"
LESS flexible, pig iron production in
November was not affected by the
steadier trend in Steel and a 16.4 per
cent decline lowered the daily average
output for the month to 36,627 tons.
However. the net loss of four stacks OF
November 80 will be partially neutral
lied this week by the lighting Of three
additional stacks at Birmingham
with few exceptions, higher prices
will apply on practically all finished
steel products January l, either through
outright advances being made now, or
through application of price schedules
announced early in the fourth quarter,
after practically all fourth quarter re-
quirements were covered at lower
levels.
Coupled with the generally improved
sentiment for business in early 1884,
these advances supply a cogent reason
for specifying expiring contracts. They
have led to a broader and more diver
sifed demand.
More definite track material require
ments have naatured- Structural awards
are heavier, I" orders from farm i'm
plement builders have expanded.
With the first of the 1894 automobile
models now rolling of the assembly line,
consumption in the Detroit area can be
expected to increase until late Janu-
ary or early February, when the dealers
will have been supplied.
Railroad orders for December now
appear more promising. . .
Structural shape awards for the week
jumped to 80, Jas tons, more than double
the years weekly average. Pig iron
shipments are increasing. Lake
iron ore shipments will close shortly for
the season with a total of approximately
21,625 900 tons, up from 3,500,000 tons
last year. >"

Louisiana and Texas carbon black
manufacturers. for example, report No
vernber sales equaling the July record
These gas users consume around l3 per
cent Of the annual natural gas pro-
duction of the country. Rush orders
from domestic tire, paint and lacquer
makers and foreign bookings, chiefly
from paint and ink manufacturers, are
responsible for speeding carbon black
operations and lifting gas sales in GER
tain sections. Glassware demand, Incl

gas installations by breweries and
ceramic manufacturers, likewise have
stimulated outturn
One of the most intensive sales drives
in the induStry'S history is being pushed
in Chicago, where in the last three
months more than 10000 homes have
been changed from coal or oil to gas
for heating. This sales campaign is
being followed nationally. 1t is being
