Steel Mills Expand
Production as War
Menaces Europe
Increase in Orders So Far
Not Due to Arms but
Sharp Demand Possible
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Prsss.
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 29.-While
gray war clouds hover over Europe
today, the glare from the vast steel
mills and coke ovens of America s
workshop of the world" once again
are Frightening skies here.
1t was not the orders from the
disciples OF Mars which lighted the
bright fires Of the blast, open hearth
and Bessemer furnaces, although
certainly in the background was the
possibility OF sudden increase in
demand that might tax the Nations
production capacity for the first time
In decade.
Informal discussions with execu-
tives of the United States Steel
Corp, Jones & Laushlin, National
Steel. Pittsburgh Steel, Crucible
Steel and other smaller units Of the
lve-billion-dollar industry centered
here brought out virtually unani-
nous opinions Of optimism.
Prices Reported Firm.
Prices which few months ago
were disastrously weak definitely
were reported firm. That was ad-
mitted by high officials like Ernest
T. Weir, chairman of National Steel
and president of the American Insti-
tute of Iron and Steel.
They said the law of supply and
demand once again was being as
serted.
I'm the past several weeks there
has been q considerable increase
In ORDERS" volunteered one of the
industry's most conservative lead
ers. 1T Is a general increase in
which no one line predominated. 1t
is the best national economic
strength we have felt in years"
Significantly, perhaps, not an ex-
ecutive disagreed.
Automobile Demand Expected.
The production spurt-which in
this center Of heavy goods output
reached the highest point this week
since October, l937-has come on
the eve OF the large orders from the
auto industry, largest consumer Of
steel.
Prices have stirred considerable
comment in light of the possibility
Of war. Here is a comparison with
the scale approved officially by
President Wilson on September 81,
1919.
Evening star., 1939-08-29

a wartime annual peak of $780,
600 tons in 1917, production figure
later exceeded in the peace-time
years of 1923, 1929, 1895 and 1887.
Finished steel products prices to-
day average $5008 a ton, the same
as a fortnight ago.
Rubber Affected Little.
Rubber-On July 25, 1914, three
days before the first World War
declarations were signed, rubber
(ribbed smoked sheets New York;
were selling at 5o1a cents a pound.
An August 7, that year, when most
major European powers were en-
broiled in the hostilities, rubber had
advanced to 68 cents, and by De-
cember 81, 1914, it was selling at 81
cents.
But the war, traders say, actually
had little influence on rubber price
trends. The development of tame"
rubber-growing that began in 1910
had by 1882 carried rubber down
from 50 a pound to 8 cents a pound,
and the war hardly broke the de-
clining trend. Skyrocketing prices
above a 35-cent level are thing of
the past. chemical companies hold.
Du Pont, for example, is reported to
have a formula for q synthetic rub
ber that can be manufactured COM
mercially at a profit for around IS
cents pound.
Yesterday rubber closed in New
York at 1878 cents pound, Cum
pared with 1880 cents a fortnight
ago.
Sugar-On July Is, 1914, three
days before first World War decla-
rations, sugar centrifugal, 96 de-
grees) was selling at 3.26 cents a
pound. On August 7, that year,
when most all leading European
powers had Joined In the fighting;
sugar had jumped 4 full cent q
pound to 4.26 cents. On December
81, 1914, 1t had fallen back to 4.0l
cents. But then 1t began again
climbing, and was selling between 7
and 8 cents q pound when the Gov
ernment nxed maximum prices in
1917 and stopped the rise. In a post
war boom, after price controls were
lifted, sugar bounded up to % 81
cents a pound In May, 1920
Today spot sugar closed in New
York wholesale markets at 2.o5 cents
a pound, compared with $50 cents
two weeks ago.
