At Connellsville coke ovens per cent car supply is about the rerage. Fresh storms and cold have large- ly defeated the plans for breaking freight blockades, and at steel works piled-up stocks of finished product will impede operations for days and in some cases weeks. The scarcity ot cars to move product from the mills is thus fully as serious a fac- tor as scarcity of coal and .coke. The chief gain from the shutdown order thus far has been in the coal- ing of vessels at Atlantic ports. A very promising start has been made in releasing thousands of tons of steel and munitions awaiting ship- ment to American and Allied armies. War shipments make up 75 per cent of the current movement in the heavier finished steel lines. It has been surprising, in fact, on how smali a part of the output the country has maintained its ordinary consumption in the past two months. Pig iron markets have naturally slowed down as tho business of de- livering hag absorbed cvery energy. That the low phosphorus pig iron supply is short of the demand for the turning out of gun forgings and other war material calling for acid steel is one of the serious features of the situation. Low phosphorous ores from Chile, Spain and Sweden are cut off and the Lake Superior supply is | very limited In ferromanganese there has been added to lling domestic production and much smaller imports a recent order stopping for 60 days the ship- ment of manganese ore to seaport | over the Central Railway of Brazi due to lack of fuel. However, after three years of alarms ferromangancse users are not easily thrown into panic. How large has been the volume of government fabricated steel work, particularly for the fabricated ship program, is indicated by tha 205,000 tons of bookings by idge and struc- tural shops in December, 14 per cent. above rated capaci Over one-third of I year’s business was done in the last quarter. Two years ago a spurt due to plant extensions zave a total in December, 1915, of 208,500 tons but general building was not heavily checked then as now. About 45,000 tons of relatively light steel work is needed for 1,500 buildings for the signal corps. the quartermaster's department buildings in the United States tons has been closed. Upward of 500 tons of larme ma- chine holts have sold at $15 per ton below the allowed level.
