Iron Age" in its weekly review
today.
Consumers were seen by the trade
publication as pursuing cautious
policy of hand-to-mouth buying.
Such improvement as may come in
the next few weeks, the review as
serted, will be mainly in new orders
from the automobile industry,
specifications for structural steel
and possibly some additional rail-
road buying.
"A good share of incoming tom
mage at the mills consists of specifi-
cations for structural steel and re-
inforcing cars. The automobile in
dustry is placing small orders, with
larger volume expected in late jan
uary or early February.
Railway buying is long way
from being brisk, but it is becoming
much more of factor than it was
during most of last year.
steel ingot production for this
week is estimated at 52l2 per cent
of capacity, up half point over

Steel scrap markets were re-
ported "still waiting to take their
cue from the trend of steel produc-
ton"
