Evidence Of Broader
Demand for Steel
Held Not Apparent
Cold Weather and Heavy
Fourth Quarter Orders
Slow Up Demand
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-"Con-
vincing" evidence of a broader de.
mand for steel in the immediate
future, except from the automobile
companies, is nowhere to be found,
Iron Age said today in a weekly
survey.
while January Is normally a
period of slow pickup" the maya
zine said, "the situation has been
affected this year by the heavy pro-
duction of the fourth quarter and
widespread cold weather and snow,
which have delayed the placing OF
orders for spring activity"
The probability the automobile
industry will come into the market
during February for March require
ments was mentioned as source OF
new buying.
Considering these retarding fac
tors, some steel companies derive
degree of satisfaction from steady
flow of orders, even though the
aggregate volume is not increasing
and averages not more than so per
cent of shipments" the review con-
tinued.
"a further reduction of backlog
tonnage accounts for a 5-point drop
in the ingot production rate for
the industry to II per cent this week.
"A more sharply competitive situ-
alton in fabricated structural steel
and reinforcing bars, brought about
by the midwinter dearth of new
construction projects, is accompa-
MED by price concessions in some
districts, the situation on the Pa
cific Coast being particularly weak"
Declining prices for scrap steel re-
f1ected the cloudy outlook, the sur
vey added. The Iron Age scrap COM
posite price declined to s1733 ton.
