Institute Report Cites
55.1 Per Cent Pace
Of Year Ago
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Steel
mills in America will operate at
64.6 per cent capacity this week,
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute estimated today.
This represented a decline of 1.3
points from $50 per cent of ca
pacity last week and will be the
lowest since the week of September
S last year, which included the
Labor Day holiday.
A month ago operations were at
the rate of tit per cent of capacity
and year ago 55.1 per cent.
Steel mills have steadily curtailed
output since the start of the year,
but the declines have been becoming
progressively smaller. Trade gossip
held out hopes the bottom in the
present recession might soon be
reached
CLEVELAND, March 4 tPJ.-Big
construction orders aided the steel
industry today as the recession in
production slowed to the smallest
rate of decline in five weeks.
The magazine Steel's national
survey reported production at 651a
per cent last week, a drop of IL
points from the previous week. For
the same period year ago the rate
was Sc per cent.
The recent decline apears to have
been definitely checked" the maya
zine says. But orders still are short
of production and some districts will
curtail operations further this
week"
Structural orders jumped last
week to the highest level of the year

new order for $4,000 long tons of
copper with the same group OF pro-
ducers that have been supplying

1t was disclosed in metal circles
today.
The bulk of the tonnage, priced

heavy Russian purchases of Ameri-
can copper were disclosed by an
analysis of figures compiled by the

During January, Russia bought
26,603 tons of copper, said by the

to be record, of recent years at
| least
The purchases comprised almost
half the 57,604 tons exported from
the United States to all countries
in January
Rated second for the month as a
foreign purchaser was Japan, which
bought 1864 tons.
Russia's present rate of large scale
purchases began in December, when
| the Soviet Union bought l7,057 tons

ports from the United States to
22,748 tons-an average of only a
little more than 500 tons a month

Russian buyers had not disclosed
the use to which the copper was to
be put, but the metal is recognized
as an important war munitions
material.
