"The present relatively high outpu,
Of raw steel, however, is not believed

"The healthy increase in shipments

for steel is the construction field
Flood rehabilitation work has brought
sharp impetus to steel releases from
this source which were already rising
rapidly. Repairs to railroad and high
way bridges. lock and dam reconstruc-
ton and general industrial rebuilding
will require outstanding steel tonnages
but small miscellaneous items, such as
nails, fencing, standard pipe, roofing
and household equipment will take an
impressive aggregate total
Fortunately, this business will likely
be spread over a long period and will
be followed eventually by flood con-
troll programs of great benefit to the
steel industry.
RaH Needs Grow.
Release Of railroad materials were
stepped up by the floods. Car building
and repair programs are going forward
rapidly and rail and track supply
specifications are increasing. The Nor
folk & Western has placed $1,000 tons
OF rails with the Carnegie Illinois
Corp. and 5000 tons with the Bethle-
hem Steel Corp.
The weeks fabricated structural
steel lettings amount to 1880 tons
compared with 1850 tons last week
while the volume of new inquiries rose
from l2,200 tons to 14,400 tons.
Effective April /, finished steel
prices will be technically higher on q
number Of products Even with maxi
mum deductions for quantity, asking
prices on sheets and strip steel will be
at higher level.
The Iron Age composite price OF
finished steel is still unchanged al
2.084 cents a pound, not yet having re-
f1ected second quarter quotations. The
pig iron composite is also holding at
s18s4 a ton, and the scrap index re-
mains unchanged for the sixth con-
secutive week"
