1.-The current outlook points to In

said, but not much improvement in
the immediate future in the heavy
products, such as shapes. plates, pipe
and rails.
The light products will undoubted-
ly benefit from rising trend in auto
mobile production of new models.
from expanded farm buying power
and generally good prospect for

"A possible reflection Of revised

steel business is the action taken by
a number of important mills in sus-
pending shipments OF steel scrap.
This, together with some apprehen-
sion in the trade that shipments to
Japan might be stopped at any time,
and the further fact that steel COM
panies are bringing pressure to bear
on scrap exporters to reduce the
volume of scrap exports, has caused
weakness in all scrap markets after a
sustained rise for about two months.
The Iron Age composite price declined
to s20.17 from $20.58 a week ago.
