New Orders Send
Steel Production
Up Half aPoint
Some Companies Report
10 to IS Per Cent
Goins in March
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April "a gain In
new orders for steel products was
reported today by the Iron Age
magazine.
Some companies" said the jour-
nal. estimate their aggregate sales
in March at 10 to Is per cent above
those of February, most Of the gain
having come in the latter half Of
the month.
"The rise in production, which
has taken place in a number of dis
tricts, has been partly Offset by
declines elsewhere, so that the net
result for the industry as a whole
is gain of half point to 61h per
cent of capacity. -
Tin Plate Production.
Tin plate production is increas-
ing as can companies prepare for .
large 1910 use of packers cans. ."
Further large sales of ingots to
British steel plants are expected.
1t is estimated that Britain may
take between 100000 and 1000, 900
tons OF ingots this year, including
about 100000 tons ordered in Janu-
ary. The British have also been
attempting to buy large quantities
OF tuluol from the steel companies
here.
If the British and French 90
ahead with their large contemplated
purchases of airplanes in the United
States, expenditures by aviation
plants for additional machine tools
will run into millions of dollars.
Railroad Equipment Field.
I'm the railroad equipment field,
export orders and inquiries are the
outstanding business at the moment.
A railroad in Siam has bought 500
freight cars from an American COM
pany and a Brazilian railroad is
lnquiling for Is to 20 locomotives.
Inquiries for 10000 to 10000 tons of
rails have also come from Bra.
Zil. -
Pig iron production in March
conformed to the downward trend
in steel production. The total for
the month, partly estimated, was
3,260,00j net tons compared with
