Frightening Outlook
For SteeImakers

CLEVELAND, July 26. = The
brightest spot in current steel
markets, said the magazine Steel
yesterday, is provided by con-
struction requirements.
while other products are
moving at noticeably slower pace
than a year ago, demand for
some building items is outstep-
ping last years pace" it said.
"Structurals. sheet piling. REIN
forcing, guard rail and rope and
galvanized sheets are definitely
pacing the market. And the
strong demand extends to build
ing specialties and tubular
goods" .~
The trade journal also re-
ported bridge and highway
needs stand out. Meanwhile.
commercial and non-residential
public building continues to con-
tribute surprisingly strong sup
port to expectations Of. at least,
a near-record in construction
during 1854"
Steel production did not snap
back very far after the July 4
curtailment, said the report, and
last week the national ingot rate
was of a half point to GAS
per cent of rated capacity.
The outlook is not too prom
Using for much Improvement
before last quarter. this being
reflected in reported plans to
shorten the Great Lakes ore
