STEEL OUTPUT
RATE BOOSTED
q POINTS

Consumers eagerness to obtain
material before July when iron
and steel prices move to q higher
level, and the nearing of June

unionizing the mills, lifted steel
works operations 2 points to 81
per cent last week, the magazine
Steel states.
At Chicago the rate was up 5
points to 10 per cent, and at
Pittsburgh up 4 points to 81 per
cent. Sheet mill operations as a
national average rose 2 points to
70 per cent, influenced largely by
releases from automobile man.

Prices Held Cause
Steelmakers attribute the bulge
in specifications more to the
proximity of higher prices than
to strike threats, Steel points out.
Many now have orders for all
the tonnage they can produce this
month, this holding true espec-
tally in the case Of sheet and strip
makers. Steel adds:
"This artificial stimulus Is
believed to be Obscuring the
real trend Of consumption,
which normally is downward
ct this time"
Automobile manufacturers made
$4,000 more cars last week than
in the week preceding, but have
not recovered from the resistance
built up by their price advances
earlier in the year, and the effect
Of over-production, says Steel.
These manufacturers, it is pointed
out, are specializing as to the pos

YOUNGEST owns
RATE To DROP

Steel plant operations in the
youngstown district will dip 2
points this week to "a per cent Of
rated capacity, and probably will
hold close to that level until the
end Of June. This figure, based
on open-hearth ingot production
compares with So per cent a year
ago, 10 per cent two years ago and
AZ per cent in the like period OF
1881.
While the melting rate will be
unchanged, indicating that pro-
ducers are not inclined to stock
steel in the face Of a threat Of a
steel mill walk-out this summer,
finished steel output will be
slightly higher, particularly in pipe
departments. Fifty-four Of SO
per.hearth furnaces are expected
to be melting steel Monday as a
week ago, while three of four bes-
semer plants will be operating, as
heretofore.
Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company will cut ingot production
in this district four points to SO
per cent in the coming week, but
will lift finishing output slightly.
The dip in the melting rate is
caused by repairs. Sheet and
Tubes so per cent rate in the
valley compares with "a per cent
a. year ago, Is per cent two years
ago and 80 per cent three years
ago.
The company's pipe schedule is
as strong as any time during the
last four years, with two seamless
mills operating, as this week, and
four fire welding mills producing,
against three currently.

c. NJ. FOREIGN
SALES BEST
SINCE 1929

General Motors sales abroad
from all sources for the month Of
May totalled 1894 units, the
highest figure on record for any
month since July, 1929. The May,
1884, volume represents an in
crease Of Ill per cent from the
volume in the month of May, 1888,
and an increase of % per cent
from the volume in May, 1892.
American-Source sales predomi-
nate in this total, and show an
increase of 1853 per cent from the
corresponding month a year ago,
and an increase of 273 per cent
from the corresponding month in
1882.
Sales from the Corporations
English and German sources at
Vauxhall Motors Ltd, and Adam
A. c., respectively, also reveal en-
couraging gains.
For the first five months of
1884 General Motors overseas
volume has reached a total Of
1881 units, an increase Of SO per
cent over the total in the cor
responding period in 1888, 1913 per
cent over 1882, and % per cent
over 1881.
The gains in question, as they
apply to the American-made pro.

in South America, the Far East,
South Africa and Australia.

CONTROL SEEN
DR|LL|NGNEED

Oil legislation to be effective
and helpful must concern itself
with two problems not now dealt
with in the bill pending in Con-
gress Cd the control of drilling,
which last month was running at
a new high for all time in Texas
and (2) the allowance of a rea-
sonable amount of Importation of
foreign crude so that it will not be
necessary for the United States
to force her wells to the point of
injury to supply domestic con-
sumption.
This view is set forth in the
current issue Of the T. s. Hose
petroleum review, which asserts
that the fact that President Roose-
welt and Secretary 1ckes have
placed themselves squarely behind
new oil legislation is admission
that the NRA code has not been
able to control "hot oil" and that
IAN instrument defective in one
part is defective in its entirety"
The review says:
An oil field today is allowed to
produce a stipulated number OF
barrels of crude, anywhere from a
half to one-hundredth Of per
cent Of. what it could produce
should the wells be allowed to flow
wide open. Under government
regulation as proposed, theoreti-
cally each operator would know
what he was allowed to produce
per well.
The cost could be estimated and
prices set as it is the promise OF
the administration to protect COM
modify prices to a point where a
fair profit could be enjoyed by all,
but useless drilling is restricted
the racketeering element which
has stock to sell can drill wells
just as fast as the suckers will
pour the money into their Golfers.
For every well that is drilled in
ally HOO4 ~ AAACcIAA0S NAAANA VAAS H~~
posed legislation, that the allow
able per day of the other wells
must be cut so that the pool pro-
duces only its allotted amount.
AS this allowable per day is cut,
the cost Of production per barrel
goes up, and should Mr.. Roose-
velt's plan to sell commodities al
q price in excess of their cost Of
production materialize, the public
will be paying an excessive price
per barrel for oil because a few
racketeers want to show their
sucker lists that they are putting
holes in the ground. The pro-
posed legislation started off all
right but it will be Just as much
of a failure as the Oil Code has
been if it is not carried to an
Intelligent conclusion, and that
cannot be accomplished unless a
drilling restriction is placed there
in.

Japanese interests confined their
buying operations in distant

Futures displayed a buoyant
tone from the start, opening Z to

sequent dealings, the list varied
little from initial quotations, per
sistent buying from general
