Record in Steel Production
lNew York Timesl


 Since this countrys steel production has never entirely renqushed its distinction the barometer of trade" the statement for March, just published by the Iron and Steel Institute is interesting. It shows that months output of 522943l tons had been exceeded only the past monthly record by the 5286 246 of May 1929 Production during the first quarter of 1887 has been equaed in the corresponding three-month period It is safe to say therefore since the weekly increase was continuous curing March that steel production is the largest in quantity of the country's history
 Perhaps these comparisons made even more striking by the well-known facts that, although the active industry has provided the oder-tme volume of demand for steel requsition by the railway and building construction industries is much below the recorded maximum and that export of steel pro- ducts though very substantially advanced over last year, still much less than in 1929. But it is the sudden increase in steel production, compared not Cnly with the depression period but with 1886 which has attracted most attention March the country s output 56 per cent above 1936 in the completed quarter the increase 54 per cent This, with the sustained demand for the higher production at the higher prices is responsible for such misgiving as exists over speculative purchases, and has made even producers apply a restraining hand
 This caution is all to the good Yet 1t must agaln be observed that recovery to previous high records i'll American steel production after industrial de- pression has been unusually belated the present occasion After the breakdown of 1920, annual steel output went beyond the previous high levels, in 1923 after 1907 it reached that mark in 1909 after 1885 in 1895 AS against these older two or three year intervals more than seven years have this time elapsed The explanation doubtless lies in the greater severity of the recent depression and the consequently far greater reduction of steel output. Compared with the previous high record the lowest year of the de- pression following 1920 brought down annual steel production 54 per cent after 1907 it cut down 40 per cent after 1893 fell Is per cent But in 1882 production 76 per cent below 1929.

THURSDAY, APRIL g, 1887
 According to astrology this is an uncertain day in planetary direc- ton. There may be vacillation where positive action is demanded This configuration may be depres- |sing to many persons.
 The morning is fortunate time for signing contracts and agree ments. International understand |ings may be reached on this date.
 This should be favorable plan- tary government for the legal profession. Honors for judges are prognosticated, but there will be bitter competition for high posi- itions.
 Workers are under sinister sway at this time. Inept policies will be advocated and mistakes made by leaders, owing to the menacing as- pect of Uranus.
 Radio and telephone investiga- Itions are forecast as a result of
 
 leaks in government plans of con- fidential nature. Both men and women will be accused of acting as spies.
 Speculation will lure Americans to repeat reckless policies and heavy losses will be sustained in the future. Stock markets will be 'fluctuating and alluring.
 In the summer there may be an unusual number of cases of black mail. Suits for damages resulting from love pacts will cause scan- dals and lead to legislation bans.
 Because of the general sale of firearms, shootings will multiply in the coming months. Crimes of violence will increase.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of much work that brings good returns. Anxieties may be numerous but of short du- ration.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be sensitive and active mentally. Subjects of this sign us- ually have persistence and courage as chief assets.
