Higher Steel Prices
Seen if Railroads
Raise Freight Rates
BY the kssoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-PressureI
for higher steel prices would result
from increased freight rates asked
by the railroads, the Iron Age,
metalworking trade weekly, said to-
|day.
The publication said that steel
companies faced with higher raw
material costs may pass on the in
crease which will amount to as
much as ST ton on finished steel.
IF rail rates continue their up
ward trend" it added, there is no
chance of return to general freight
absorption for competitive purposes
even if it is allowed by law. No
steel firm could afford it."
Railroads Criticized.
The Iron Age said that 'it looks
as if the railroads are trying to
price themselves out of a large
chunk of the iron and steel buSi-
ness and reported that steel COM
pany traffic managers ARE using
every means possible to find ways
other than railroads to transport
a larger and larger part of steel
shipments"
If the Interstate Commerce Com
mission allows the 8 per cent in
crease now sought in freight rates,
the trade weekly said, the rate for
moving the bulk of iron and steel
products will be about 10 per cent
above the prewar level.
Output of finished steel this year
has an excellent chance OF attain
ing new record level, the Iron
Age said. 1t estimated the total
would be more than 100000 tons,
which would exceed the peak year
1914.
Ingot Production Estimate.
Total ingot production was esti-
mated at around $4,000, 900 tons,
slightly below the 1914 figure. The
publication noted that "a greater
part of the steel ingot is finding its
way into finished steel products"
The Iron Age said that furnaces
now on order being modernized or
in the planning stage will add at
least 100000 tons to electric furnace
annual steel capacity before the
end of 1949. Most, if not all, of this
new equipment will begin melting
low carbon steels"
Steel ingot output this week was
placed at 96.5 per cent of capacity,
highest since before the coal strike.

Stock Market Moves
Slightly Higher as
Trading Is Sluggish
By Roder Wineet
Associoted Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Continu-
ing its second day of recovery, the
stock market today was slightly
higher in the midst of quiet trading.
Except in a few special cases,
most of the market joined in the
advance Of fractions to around a
point.
Oils. rails, steels and motors were
higher, but utilities and airlines
were narrowly mixed.
The opening was steady and the
volume of trading was moderate
until the rise started. Then the
pace of business quickened in later
dealings.
Santa Fe was off more than a
point after directors declared a 81
extra dividend but took no action
on a much discussed stock split
rumor. Other rails like Central OF
Jersey, Great Northern preferred
Nickel Plate and Seaboard Airline
had the best gains.
Oils were led up by Standard Oil
New Jersey, Richfield and Gulf
Oil. They still appeared under the
influence of yesterdays price in
crease for crude announced by Phil
lips Petroleum, although a number
of major producers and ref1ners said
they didn't intend at this time to
follow along.
National Airlines and American
Airlines touched new low for the
year. National faces an inquiry by
the Civil Aeronautics Board to de-
termine whether its scheduled
routes should be transferred to
other companies.
The bond market was mixed and
narrow. and United States Govern
ments in over-the-counter trading
were quiet.
