International Nickel
Sets 1910 Budget
Of S8,325,00O
Smelter Improvements
Will Take Large Part
Of Expenditure

TORONTO, April "a canadian
Press),- capital budget estimated
at S8,325 900 for 1910 will be ex-
pended largely in concentrator and
smelter improvements to provide ca
pacity for treating up to 10000 tons
of ore day, Robert c. Stanley
chairman of the international
Nickel Co. of Canada, Ltd, told
shareholders at the annual meeting
today.
The company's policy now is to
extract more ore of lower grade,
thus extending the life of the mines,
he said.
Due to the war, operations have
ceased at the company's property
in Finland and the future of the
property is uncertain, he reported.
Expected l941 Production.
He added: During the six-year
period 1934-39, inclusive, the ore
body (at Kolosjoki, Finland was
opened up by tunnel, shaft and
underground development, and a
smelter and a hydro-electric power
plant were under construction. Had
no interruption occurred, nickel
copper matte would have been pro-
duced not later than early in l941.
Since its acquisition in 1884 there
has been expended total of $6,723,-
908. and it is estimated that an ad-
ditional SO 500 900 will be required to
complete the project"
Mr.. Stanley added that reserve
of Sc, ,723 908 had been provided from
earned surplus to cover the outlay
to date.
Since hostilities began all export
sales of nickel, copper and Platinum
metals have been made under Cana
dian government permits with the
sanction of the British government,
he said.
U. S. Takes 101 zoo, 900 Pounds.
Sales of nickel in 1899 totaled
210,l94,l35 pounds. The United
States took 101 100000 pounds.
Heavy sales in the United States
were providing the company with
sufficient United States funds for all
requirements and there would be
no interruption to dividend pay
mentS in Canada or other countries,
he noted.
The company's contract with the
British government is effective till
September /, 1910, for the supplying
OF metals. Should the war con-
tinue beyond that date, said Mr.
Stanley, the agreement may be
renewed by the Ministry OF Supply
with due consideration to condi-
tions existing at that time"

Steel Industry Sees
Little Chance for
Withdrawal Of Cuts
Expects Sheet and Strip
Prices to CONTINUE
Through Second Quarter
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 24.-Iron Age,
forecast mo immediate withdrawal"
of recently lowered prices on sheet
and strip steel in a weekly survey
today.
What is likely to happen" said
the steel magazine, is a continuance
OF present quotations for shipment
through the second quarter until the
time comes for announcement of
third quarter prices. Whether the
recent concessions will then be with
drawn, wholly or in part, probably
will depend upon business conditions
in late May or early June"
While some consumers took ad-
vantage of the lowered prices, the
magazine said, there was none of the
rush which followed the sharp cut
in sheet and strip quotations in May
last year.
Feared Spread Of Weakness.
Satisfaction is expressed by steel
companies according to the survey,
that the cuts have gone no deeper
and that other products have not
been seriously affected, notwith-
standing the expectation among a
good many buyers that the price
weakness might spread"
Looking over the present operating
scene, Iron Age said:
Export tonnage continues to be
a substantial factor in current mill
operations. While the export trade
outlook is less promising for the i'm
mediate future, steel companies
have backlogs of unshipped orders.
steel orders in the aggregate are
running ABOUT 10 to Is per cent
ahead of the March volume. That
steel business is not much better
than it is due largely to a definite
lag in building construction and
railroad requirements.
Operations Holding Steady.
steel operations are holding their
own. The ingot rate for the in
dustry this week is estimated at
81 per cent, unchanged from last
week. There have been losses in
some districts and gains in others.
"At last the scrap market seems to
point to the expectation of some i'm
provement in steel production"
The Iron Age scrap composite
advanced cents to S16.13 a ton,
the second small gain in two weeks
following months of decline.
