Trade Paper Predicts
4th-Quarter Decline
In Demand for Steel
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. ga
shrinking market for steel in the
fourth quarter was predicted to-
day by the Iron Age, national
Woodworking weekly.
"The most influential develop
ment in the steel market today
is the changing buying attitude
OF the metal user" said the pub
lication. mo longer panicked by
shortage into long-term forward
buying, the metal consumer is
altering procurement policies to
fit the new temper of the times"
Iron Age said uncertainties
bred of the widespread feeling
that the production boom is at
crest and must ebb moderately"
are pushing manufacturers into
shorter-term buying. With short
ages of even some tight steel
products seen dissipating in fu-
ture months, the expanded steel
industry is adjusting its gain to
that of industry in general, it
added.
Noting that steel consumers
are pairing their fourth-quarter
orders. Iron Age declared:
Without question, the over
all steel market will decline in
the fourth quarter. Several large
steel producers told the Iron Age
that the main affliction of the
market is a desire of consumers
to reduce inventories. These
users see the steel industry's ex-
panded capacity as ironclad in
surance against future shortages,
don't want to enter an uncertain,
more competitive era with heavy
inventories"
There is no incentive to push
hard for most steel products,
especially since prices will Ger
tainly stay static, the article
went on.
The Detroit steel market ap-
pears to be easing daily, Iron
Age said. and the recent fire
at General Motors Livonia.
Mich, automatic transmission
plant is only part of the reason.
Contributing to the current cas-
ing are automotive parts sup
pliers who are starting to cancel
steel orders, it said.
Iron Age predicted that some
steel products now in great de-
mand will ease as months wear
by, and the overall relationship
between demand and supply next
year will be "one of closer bal
ance-a trait of a normal mar
ket."
