STEEL RATE GOES
TO 73ZZ PER CENT
Heavy Buying Brings Rise
to Best Mark So Far
This Year.
Ey the Associated Press.

6y tne ASSOCIATED PreSS.
NEW YORK, September 23.-Sup-
ported by fresh wave of heavy buy
ing. steel production has advanced this
week to 1914 per cent Of the country's
capacity, the highest rate of the year
thus far, Iron Age says today.
Further gains in output are likely
to be limited by physical factors at
the mills and not by the volume OF
business" the weekly review stated.
Owing to restricted supplies of pig
iron, scrap and coke and the fact that
many open-hearth furnaces are still in
disrepair. there is a scarcity of raw
steel that Is retarding operations of
finishing mills.
However, steel companies are
straining to eliminate production
bottlenecks in 50 far as possible.
Makers Of refractories are busy supply
ing fire brick for the rebuilding OF
open-hearth furnaces and new con-
struction Is being rushed, two new 150-
ton open-hearth units having been
started at a Chicago plant, with two
more scheduled for initial operation IN
October"
The heavy volume of buying in the
past week has been brought about
partly by the desire of users to pro-
tect themselves as far ahead as pos
sible on those products which are to be
So ton higher in price as of October
l, the review says.
An advance of so cents at Pitts
burgh and one of 25 cents at Phila-
delphia raised the Iron Age COM
posite price for heavy melting steel
scrap to s16.75. where it is only sl.93
below the pig iron composite price, the
narrowest differential that has existed
between these two basic commodities
in more than 20 years.
