Steel Shortage
Gains and May
Get Worse


NEW YORK, Nov. IA tP.-
Steel shortages have become
tighter during the past week
and signs are that they will get
worse, the Iron Age, weekly
magazine Of the steel and metals
industries, reported today.
The Suez crisis has frightened
the market, Iron Age said, and
"edgy steel buyers are taking no
chances" The magazine re-
ported that orders are running
as much as 10 to is per cent
ahead of capacity in some firms.
Even cold-rolled sheets, which
a few weeks ago were in rela-
lively easy supply, are beginning
to feel the pinch, mainly be-
cause of buying for the auto
industry, Iron Age said. DE-
troit purchasing agents are
reversing their casual attitude
toward steel stocks" it added. :
Domestic demand gives no
sign of easing" the magazine
stated. "In fact, the trend is
the other way export de-
mand is strong, but foreign
consumers have little chance
of obtaining more than nominal
shipments from United States
producers"
Iron Age also reported that
steel scrap prices have risen to
all-time highs. Price rises in
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Phila-
delphia have pushed the Iron
Age composite price for No. /
heavy melting scrap to a record
SILT per gross ton. This is
the second week that the COM
posite price has set a new rec
ord. Last week it went to
$59.83 per ton.

insurance man can serUe you best
In insurance, as in many other fields, there is no
monopoly good ideas, good service, or good rates.
One company may have developed better policy for
the homeowner in some areas Another company may
boast lower rates certain forms OF insurance Still
third may be especially noted for prompt service
Which Of these companies should you insure with?
If you ask a company representative he will usually
try to persuade you that his company-and only his
company-is best for you.
