LOWER BUTTER
DEMAND SEEN

Storage and speculative demand
for butter this year probably will
be below last year, according to
the Bureau Of Agriculture Econo'
mics.
The price Of New York 80 score
butter during the outof-storage
season last year averaged slightly
less than into-storage season price,
a situation that in previous years
has usually been followed by a
decrease into-storage movement
the next season, the report says,
The report concludes:
"A smaller proportion Of pro-
duCtion win 90 into storage
this year than last, with the re-
suit that increases in prOduC-
ton during the usual flush Sea
SON win mot perhaps be accom-
panied by any rise in price such
as occurred during the heavy
production season Of 1888, when
speculative demand was active"

ACTIVITY
NEAR PEAK Of
LAST JULY

NEW YORK, April IS U.N.sJ,
The rapidly growing influx Of
specifications against low.priced
contracts has boosted steel pro
duction four points to Sc per
cent Of capacity, and another
week promises to put the rate
above the 1888 peak Of SO per
cent reached last July, the Iron
Age summary discloses today.
In some steel products, it is
pointed out, mills have such
heavy commitments that they
will not be able to clear their
books by the end Of the quarter,
as required by the code. Recog.
nizing the possibility Of execu.
tive pressure on the mills for
shipments in June an increasing
number Of consumers are antici.
pating their requirements. In
other cases, mills are now rolling
material prior to the receipt of
OSVA0A S4AAPPAA1S OIuGISs
Many Gains Large
Gains in steel output during
the week were marked in a
number Of producing centers.
Operations have risen five points
at Pittsburgh to As per cent,
five points at Chicago to SO per
cent, two points in the Philadel-
phia district to AZ per cent, one
point in the valleys to 60 per
cent, nine points at Cleveland to
SO per cent, three points at
Buffalo to 50 per cent.
The accelerating movement Of
material from producers to con-
SumerS has been sweeping in
scope. May and June shipments
Of pig iron will be the largest in
fully two years.
Scrap Prices Easy
Scrap prices have shown an
easy tone ever since the second
week Of March, when the Iron
Age composite for heavy melting
steel, at $13 a ton, reached its
peak to date this year. Recessions
in prices at Pittsburgh and Chi
cago have driven down the COM
posite from $12.5S a ton a week
ago to $12.42 a ton.
Advances now in force have
raised the Iron Age composite for
finished steel from 2.028 to 2.222
cents a pound, which is $1.50 a
ton below the average for 1929
and 1914 a ton below that Of the
popular index base year 1926. The
pig iron composite has advanced
from $500 per gross ton to
$17.57, or SO cents a ton below
the average of 1929 and $2.S5 per
