Steel Producers
Find Buying Wave
Is Barely Checked
Price Announcement
Has Little Effect on Rush
Of War Orders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Iron Age
Magazine reported today the war
steel buying wave barely had been
checked by the announcement that
prices would be maintained un-
changed through the final three
months of the year.
The expectation that rising costs
will force some steel companies to
charge higher prices before the year
end is causing steel users to protect
themselves to the fullest possible
extent" said the publication.
1t added:
Should higher prices come for
the first quarter or sooner, steel COM
panies would undoubtedly have diff
Guilty in shipping all of the business
on their books by December 81. To
guard against such a contingency
restrictions are being more forcefully
applied. So
The avalanche of orders has so
greatly swamped the operating and
clerical forces of the steel compan-
les that some of them may not know
definitely for another week or two
just what their delivery situation
will be over the remainder of the
year. $50
although export bookings have
been small in comparison with do
mestic orders. the total sold for eX-
port since the first of the month is
estimated to be well above a half
million tons. Negotiations are in
progress with the British for the sale
of 100000 tons of semi-finished
steel. ~*-
canadian railroads, which have
a S25,OOO,OO0 program, may be forced
to place some orders in the United
States.
Rail purchases total more than
100 900 tons. with about $4,000 tons in
the offing. Repair programs embrace
many thousands of cars, while in
quiries have appeared for more than
1000 new cars"
Inc magazine added: This week S
advance in the Iron Age scrap COM
posite price is $3.50 ton over last
week, one of the greatest weekly
gains on record, bringing the aver
age up to 1925, and more than S5
over the low point of s1403 on

''Ingot production. which for this
week is estimated at 79 per cent, a
gain of 8 points over last week, is
scheduled for a further gain as soon
