CAPACITY RATIO.
UP FOR STEEL
PRODUCTION

NEW YORK. Feb. G.NS).
Steel operations have continued
their rising trend with current
operations placed at 19 per cent
of capacity, a gain of two points
over the preceding week, and
comparing with a rate of from
IL to 13 per cent in the final
week of December, the weekly
Iron Age Review pointed out to.
day.
The expansion has developed
despite Interruptions in steel mill
schedules in some districts
occasioned by the shutdown of
the plants of the Ford Motor
Company and suppliers of its
automobile bodies.
Sharp Upturn In Chicago
There has been a sharp upturn
in the Chicago district, where
production is at 18 per cent
against IA per cent a week ago,
and a correspondingly good in
crease in the valleys.
Operations both in steel max
ing and finishing departments
have lost ground at Cleveland
and Detroit and have no more
than held their own at Pitts
burgh.
The Cleveland and Detroit
districts are principally affected
by the Ford suspension and a
falling off in the volume of new
business from other motor car
manufacturers. The Cleveland
rate has dropped from A to g
per cent of capacity.
Car Output Fair
The performance of the auto
mobile industry continues to at
tract the most attention in the
steel trade, since it is the most
tangible prospect for tonnage 10
sustain the present operations Of
many mills.
Notwithstanding the Ford
Motor Co.'S difficulties. January
output of cars was fully 100000
units, and official figures may,
in fact, show that the 123,075
units produced in January, 1882,
were exceeded.
Chevrolet's January total was
$4,000 cars, about $4,000 more
than was contemplated and the
best record for the company
since July, 1881.
Rail Prospects Slim
Prospects for railroad buying
are confined to the bare expecta
ton that some rail inquiries will
be issued within 80 days.
The Iron Age composite for
heavy melting steel remains at
$6.75 a gross ton, while pig iron
and finished steel are also at last
weeks levels of $1356 a gross
ton and 1926 a ID. respectively.

The visitors boast a 10-gane

player produced by Duke. These
ex-Maryland players made up the
team that led that university to
Southern Conference title. They
are: Bozie Berger, Bob Wilson,

very likely. Evans and Radice
also were members of Maryland's
great team, but now represent

by a running attack, one point
for each first down. to take the
element of luck out of final
scores"
He also advocated moving the
goal posts back to their former
position on the goal line, to allow
more field-goal and drop-kicking
and develop the Skill rather

Six Men On Line
Warner would permit only six
