RULE
APPROVED

General approval of the action
of the Federal Reserve Board in
raising member bank require
mentS to the maximum legal limit
by May l was expressed in bank
ing circles here yesterday.
The action Of the Reserve
Board, which was taken by most
leading bankers here as a sound
measure" which will Sterilize the
vast reserves that are piling up.
Action by the board ended a
long period of uncertainty. Bank
erS expressed relief that the mat
ter was settled and saw the move
as intended to head off injurious
credit initiation.
Bank loan officers, however,
seemed to doubt immediate firm
ness in call or time money quota
tions until fuller effects of the
change in maximum reserve re-
quirements apear next May.
The Washington times., 1937-02-03
Steel Output Rate Up
To 20 Per Cent

plates, sheets, bars, structural
shapes and sheet piling in the
last few days of January for iden-
titled construction projects, in
cluding railroad equipment, owing
to the requirement of steel COM
panies that formal contracts for
such work be entered into by Janu-
ary 80 against price projections
given in December. The amount
of business that was thus driven
in probably totaled several hun
dred thousand tons. In railroad
equipment alone about 100000
tons was entered, as number
of roads closed for upward of a.
900 cars plus about 4.20O that will
be built in railroads own shops.
Untitled orders for plates and
shapes have reached the largest
total in several years.
Notwithstanding the extremely
heavy backlogS on mill books, the
summary said that further addi-
tions are in sight. Resumption of
water shipments to the Pacific
Coast, following settlement of the
Seamen'S strike, will release con-
siderable suspended business; the
United States Navy program and
rejuvenation of American ship
building under the auspices of
the new Maritime Commission
offer prospects for large steel
tonnageS; the agricultural equip
ment manufacturers are operating
at what appears to be an all-time
peak; road machinery builders
are extremely busy: general con-
struction work. including home
building, IS on the upward swing,
and household equipment con-
Germs, especially refrigerator manu-
facturers, are taking increasing
amounts of steel. Tin plate pro-
duction has regained its pre-flood
average of 95 per cent. Settle
ment of the General Motors strike,
with its consequent rush for steel,
would place a still heavier burden
on steel mills to satisfy customers
requirements.
The Washington times., 1937-02-03

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-With the
resumption of steel making by
units in the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
and youngstown districts that
were affected by flood conditions,
the ingot production for the
country has risen to 79 per cent
from an estimated IS per cent
a week ago, according to Iron Age.
Mills at Ashland and Newport,
KY, and Portsmouth, Ohio, are
still idle, but the MiddletoWn,
Ohio, plant, where operations had
been reduced to so per cent be-
cause of diversion of power, has
stepped up to rs per cent. with
capacity production again IN
sight.
The Pittsburgh district has
reached an 80 per cent rate, the
peak that was attained the week
before the flood, and the Wheel
ing district has quickly snapped
back to a 95 per cent operation,
one point higher than in the
week preceding the flood. The
Youngstown district has advanced
to 78 per cent from 76 per cent
last week. The Southern OHIO
output is estimated at 19 per cent,
only a slight rise over week ago.
Rebuilding Needs
AS flood waters recede the eX-
tent of the damage to industrial
plants, dwellings, bridges and
highways will become apparent.
Preliminary surveys indicate that
there will be an urgent need for
considerable steel for quick re,
pairs and a much heavier demand
later on for reconstruction work
and flood control projects on a
large scale, the report said.
Foundries in the Cincinnati area
have been hard hit and it may
be weeks before all of them re-
sumo production, thereby causing
delays in shipments of machine
tools for which orders have piled
up heavily in recent months. Steel
stocks of many jobberS in the
Ohio Valley have been flooded
and new shipments in large
volume will be required together
with reconditioning of damaged
material at the mills. Iron Age
added:
Resumption of work at some
of the plants of the General
Motors Corporation has resulted
in the release of suspended ton
nageS of some products, partic-
ularIy sheets and strip. Mean
while, other automobile COM
panies are straining for higher
production, Ford having reached
5000 cars a day. That COM
pany has inquired for $4,000
tons of square and round bars
and slabs, the latter processing
on its own sheet mills. Total
output of motor cars is moving
up slowly, having gained little
more than 5000 units last week"
