Steelmakers Report
More Encouragement
For Larger Orders
BY the Assoeioied Pres.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Sales-
men for steel producers are re-
ceiving more announcement
than they have for months, the
Iron Age. national Woodworking
weekly. said today.
And steel people themselves,
the magazine added, see positive
reasons for believing business
will improve. The Iron Age lists
these factors:
Il. The number of customers
who expect to order more steel
soon Is increasing. This in
cludes the automotive industry.
steePs biggest customer, which
takes about a fifth Of all steel
produced. However. the pickup
in automotive orders probably
won't come so soon as had been
expected. Word from Detroit is
that model change overs may
take longer than anticipated. \
q. The majority of steel users
have virtually completed inyen-'
tory reduction. This means
they will have to increase their
stel buying merely to- support
production at the present rate.
Any improvement in their BUSH
ness will raise steel buying ct
least that much more. Some
manufacturers who have cut
steel inventories to the bone may
actually find, 1t necessary to re-
build inventories a bit to support
expanded production schedules.
SO. The steel market has been
getting unexpected support in
the form Of miscellaneous orders
from a variety Of small manu.
featuring plants and parts
makers, in addition to the con-
struction and oil industries. If
this support can be held, for
seeable gains from other big
users should give the market a
lift.
a. The overall economy has
absorbed the shock Of readjust-
ment plus the summer slump.
and the climate seems favorable
for general business improve
ment. Government defense and
nudge programs will furnish an
assist"
The magazine said steel-mak-
ing operations this week are
scheduled at 81 per cent of rated
capacity. unchanged from last
weeks revised rate.
