|S138 Billion
Steel Sales
Seen for 81

CLEVELAND. July / R.-
Steel magazine said yesterday
that the sales volume of the
Woodworking industry is ex-
pected to reach a record $13e
billion this year compared with
$685. billion last year.
1t said second-half sales are
expected to increase 3.8 per cent
over those of the first six months,
but that profits would be down
slightly because wages and the
cost OF materials are rising more
rapidly than selling prices.
The magazine said it based its
estimates on a survey in which
the general managers of more
than 5000 Woodworking plants
were queried.
-Four of five think second
half sales volume will be as good
or better than that of the first"
the publication said. Two of
three expect the second half to
be as good or better than the
second half of 1856. Seven of
10 predict that their dollar vol
ume in 1857 will. be as large OF
larger than it was in record
1856"
Steel said selling prices in the
second six months of the year
would be up IL per cent CON-
pared with the first half, but
that manufacturing costs would
rise 81 per cent. 1t added that
many plants are reluctant to
adjust selling prices to cover
increased costs because they fear
tougher selling in a buyers mar
ket and complain that Cheap
imports aggravate competition
problems"
Steel's price composite on Steel

Is cents last week to $3.50 q
gross ton, the highest since jan
uary. The composite on finished
