With deliveries and mill congditions growing worse, capacity sold up to an extent precluding normal interest in néw, business, and ‘with Ntel¢ certain- ty as to government needs except that they will ‘steadily. increase; the steel H.0. P. SILK SHIRTS $3.50t0 $7.50 trade moves on in an unsatisfactory | way. 5 The, letting of contracts by -the shipping board for a number of steel vesscls has been followed promptly by inquiries for plates and shapes, and it {s evidently the pian to have such steel provided directly by the govern- ment. Thus far the steel corporation has taken the brunt of the.govern- ment's plate demands, and independ- ent plate mills have been little inter- fered with in supplying their regular trade. This condition, from present indications, will not last - long, and plate producers who buy their raw materials view with ooncern the ris- ing prices of pig iron and scrap. The ‘government’s 2.90c price on plates is below cost for some mills, though the pig iron now going into their steel was bought $10.to $15 & ton below today’s market. Progress. is being made on the plans for united buying of steel and other. metals by the government and the Allles. In negotiating for 24,000 tons of wire rope, a portion of which goes to France, the government has had the co-operation of wire mills, so that ‘wire will be furnished the rope man- ufacturers as needed. As to prices on all further purchases of steel roducts, the goveriment policy Iis not definitely developed. A .copper price of 24c to 26c, as now indicated, points to fairer prices for steel than those now paid for plates and shapes. Foreign inquiries for steel are still large, and have been for weeks, but few orders come from them, since the mills do not care to make deals which later government requirements will upset. Large tin-plate sales could be made, offers runnning as high as $12 per box, but there is doubt if shipments out of the'country will long be permitted. Russia’s car requirements, which have been talked 'of for over a year, are given a better standing. by the government’s loan 't ' 'Bupsis. Car builders now expect t! rder will be for 10,000 to 30,000 cars of 40,000-1b. capacity. Domestic cars have . been placed in Canada~ New locomotive contracts total 500 and the two lead- ing bullders are well booked for months ahead. One order Furope seeks to place s for 6,000 tons of small angles. Italy would take tin plates in large quantities. There is revived interest in a 25,000-ton rail inquiry from Great Britain, one for 40,000 tons from Sweden, and the 300,000 to: Russia will need can be booked by, any mill willing to take That the scarcity in steel bars is more disturbing appears from urgent inquiries in the past week for spot shipment. Agricultural implement buyers have had no results as yet from their appeal to the government for preferential treatment at the hands of the mills. Advances in semi-finished materials show no indication of the end. A sale of 2,000 tons of open-hearth sheet bars has been made at $96 by a Cleveland mill for delivery in the Pittsburgh district. More than 650,- 000 tons of billets for shell making have been up for ‘bids, but the order has not been given. Rallroad spikes and track bolts have advanced again and the demand for the latter is’' unusually heavy. The Carnegie Steel company and other makers of. cotton ties announce $2.10 per bundle of 45 1b. as the price for this season. Last year's contract basis was $1.35. The $2.10 price is in effect through June and on July 1 the carrying charge of 1c per bundle per month goes into effect. It is esti- mated that the years cotton crop will require 2,600,000 bundles. Basic pig iron has figured in both eastern and central western markets in the past week. A sale of 15,000 tons to an eastern Pennsylvania steel company for this year established advance in that district to $42, & livered. A Massillon, Ohlo, steel company has taken 10,000 tons for the first half of next year. Sales of 2,500 tons of Bessemer iron have been made at $45, Valley furnace. Foun- dry pig iron is $1 a ton higher at Chicago. For southern foundry iron $40, Birmingham, for prompt No. 2 and $36 to $38 for first quarter of 1918 represent the week’'s market. An eastern steel company ' has closed for 10,000 tons of coke per month for the second half of ‘this year at $8 at oven, and there are negotiations for 10,000 to 16,000 tons per month additional. : With ‘deliv- eries still much resatric aad labor supply mot likely to Vw“' cok: producers are in a fair' %o crary their contention for a contract price close to that which has ruled on spot delivery. + The western scrap markel shown more likeness to the pi market in the past week than months. At Chicago under heavy buying by two steel companies, one of which is credited with purchases of 75,000 tons, prices have advanced in an almost unprecedented way . to the point of making even sellers unéasy. St. Louis dealers made large sales to Chicago, while prices «of some grades advanced more than $8 per ton. All descriptions of scra Jwere swept up in the effort to gef adequate supplies - for open-hearth plants. Pittsburgh’and eastern mar- kets showed no such activity, but at Pittsburgh low-phosphorus. melting stock ‘has advanced $2 a ton, ‘and heavy melting steel is held for higher prices. ® ‘Washington, May 24.—The safe ar- rival in Switzerland of more Ameri- cans from Turkey has beeén ‘reported by-American - Minister. .
