By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, May 6.—A gain in pig| fron output in April, sustained activity j in the automobile industry, growing de- mands for pipe line and other construc- tion projects, and indications that the down trend of steel production is en- countering greater resistance are favor- able developments in a highly sensi- tive iron and steel market, Iron Age will say tomorrow in its weekly review. “Offsetting factors,” the review says, “include a net loss of three active blast furnaces in April, a further decline in scrap prices and continued tapering of tin plate and rail production. “The increase in pig iron output, the fourth consecutive monthly gain, was 2.7 per cent on a daily basis. Produc- tion for the 30 days of April was 2,019,529 tons, compared with 2,032,248 tons for the 31 days of March, and the daily average were 67,317 tons and 65556 | tons, respectively. Despite the improve- | ment the April rate was the lowest for | that month since 1921 and with that | exception the lowest since 1909.

NEW YORK, May 6.—Reports from leading hardware markets to the coun- try indicate that the demand has a “spotty” character at the present time, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly market summary. In some of the principal market centers sales vol- ume has recently exceeded that of a year ago. In other cities, serving trade territories where less favorable condi- tions have prevailed, sales were running considerably behind the corresponding period of last year. April sales, generally speaking, were | fairly satisfactory, showing a seasonal | increase, which “was near normal in | many wholesale hardware establish- | ments. Future orders are being booked | for Fall delivery in some Winter lines and the orders that have been placed | denote an optimistic dealer attitude. | While prices are showing an easier tendency in certain instances, probably influenced by the declining quotations on most raw materials, most revisions | being announced are inconsequential in | nature, ol o L, One hundred and fifty American tractors are used on one agricultural | project in Russia., In PAINT IMPROVEMENTS of any character DURABILITY should be first thought Paint for exterior work as prepared by the painter weighs twenty to twenty-two pounds to the gallon is made slightly heav ; for interior work it ier. The reason is he uses nothing but pure lead for his pigment. In our opinion the painter’s knowledge of how to make paint s hould be accepted as right; for that reason we use only the lead of the Old Dutch B ment in the “MURC oy brand as the pig- O” paint; the vehicle is pure linseed oil and the necessary tur- pentine and drier, While we are quite willing to suggest the proper method on all paint propositions, we feel that when- ever it is possibl e, have the work done by a practical painter or be advised by him.
