Ac- count Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: The first week in the new year has brought blast furna operation to the verge of demoralization.

December pig iron statistics show gone in the second half of the month, and the January showing will doubtless be worse. The total of coke and anthra- cite iron last month was 2,882,919 tons, or 92,997 tons a day, against 3,- 205,794 tons in November, or 106,859 tons a day. Capacity active Jan. 1 v only 93,500 tons a day, against 106,953 tons on Dec. 1, and only 324 furnaces were in blast Jan. of 24 in the month. So far as the market is concerned, the relation of supply and demand out of the serious operating ons is secondary to guestion of government price fixing. Reasoning that price changes will almost cer- ainly be downward, buyers find no reason for contracting except that of getting a none too certain place on rolling mill schedules, and sellers are not making haste to write contracts that are likely to be revised from without. this: If there are new prices April 1 will they apply to deliveries carried beyond that date., even though con- tracted to be made in the first quarter? An authoritative answer will. ‘While Washington assurance is given that no price changes are con- templated that will reduce steel pro- duction by going below costs of small producers, there is an evident purpose to reduce prices obtained by integrat- ed companies.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of export steel is piled up at ports awaiting shipment, and sales for export cauld be put through if bottoms could be had. In wire a 50,000-ton inquiry has been up, but could not be entertained. The gov- ernment is seeking 50,000 tons of open-hearth rerolling billets for shipment abroad. The Canadian Pacific R inquired for 85,000 tons of 8 Quotations on this business have gono as high as $70 for Bessemer, and $73 for open-hearth rails. A Canadian mill is the natural destination of this order, but there is a possibility of its | division. With rail, car and locomotive buy- | a matter of government initiative, some orders for all three may be expected. Price fixing of rails is thus an early prob- ability. Tt appears that rail mill space is not thoroughly pre-empted for the next eight or nine months, though the larger systems covered for 1918 long go.
