BALTIMORE, February 21.-In-

plant Of the Bethlehem Steel Co. have
brought operations to between IS and
so per cent of capacity, according to
c. j. Cort, general manager Of the
plant, the worlds largest on tide

A pickup in business in the last

OF production operations within a
30-day period from around IS to 20

about SO per cent, with about $4,000
persons on the pay roll.
The tinplate mill is working at

NEW YORK. February 2I.-The
steel operating rate has pushed to
44k per cent Of capacity this week.
up 31a points over last week and 2515
points above the corresponding period
of 1888, Iron Age reported today.
"Automotive demand" said the re-
view. sis still the chief single factor
in the rise Of steel activities. With
evidence that this will be even aug
mented, with the p. w. A. millions now
beginning to penetrate basic indus
tries and with the railroad rehabili-
tation program in definite action, the
steel industry is expectant Of we'll
sustained demand and weekly in
creases in volume.
"A decided sellers market has de-
veloped for cold-finished sheets, due
to the desire of motor car makers
to cover present requirements. Mill
capacity for this commodity Is now
well taxed for the remainder Of the
quarter, one large producer having
been obliged to refuse a 1,000-ton
order during the past few days. Added
to the demand from automotive CEN
tiers has been the urge of automatic
refrigerator makers to cover their
sheet requirements.
Shortage of bodies, parts and ma
tertals are hampering the expansion
of motor car assemblies, operations
this week being approximately on the
same level as last"
No second-quarter price changes Of
consequence were filed by February
10, the last day for such action, and
Iron Age says this would indicate
that steel makers hope to counter
balance their present higher costs and
the accompanying losses through the
economies Of increased volume"
