NEW YORK, May 5.-Increasing
specifications against second quarter
contracts accounted for a further ad-
vance in steel ingot production this
week. While further gains were said
to be dependent partly upon whether
orders would be placed against all
contracts for delivery before July /.
mill operations on rail orders and
structural shapes were expected to
continue into July. The only develop
ment in the price situation was a
moderate decline in the Pittsburgh
scrap market. Pig iron production
was expected to be more active this
month
