ScrubIr0m

The market for scrap iron and steel
is booming in Henderson as perhaps
1T never has before, according to A.
R. Perry, junk dealer, who is hand
ling virtually all of the waste metal
for which there is a price. Shipments
are going away in carload lots almost
daily and sometimes several day.
The international ornaments race
is accounting for much of the de-
mand, and a great deal of the ma
terial is going abroad. This is true
particularly of steel, which is ship
ped from here to Norfolk, thence by
boat to it's destination across the
seas. Scrap iron is sold to domestic
consumers and is melted down in
blast furnaces to be made into other
new and useful implements besides
engines of war.
At the present time the price for
scrap iron and steel is Is cents per
hundred pounds. And it doesn't take
a great deal of it to make 100 pounds.
The price has been as high as 35
cents per 100 pounds, but the decline,
considered temporary, is ascribed to
the embargo imposed at terminals be-
cause of the enormous quantity OF
the metal dumped at the nearby sea-
ports, and which is creating great
congestion because of scarcity OF
boats to transport it.
Japan is one of the largest buyers
of the scrap metal because Japan is
trying to Keep abreast of the United
States and Great Britain in building
a tremendous navy. Many European
nations, however, are taking huge
quantities Of the metal, for they are
engaged in an ornaments race, too
and each trying to gain or retain an
advantage.
And SO thousands of dollars in cash
money is pouring into this community
and presumably others as we'll, in
payment for old scrap brought in for
sale and shipment to waiting markets
abroad.
