PRICES HOLDING FIRM
Consumption Steadily Increasing
and Capacity of Plants Ex

PITTSBURG, Pa., June 5. (Special.)
The steel trade has acquired such mo
mentum and strength that it will easily be
carried over the dull summer period with
out any weakening in market prices. When
the new market opens for early autumn
deliveries, the course of the market will
be demonstrated by the balance, or lack
of balance, between supply and demand
On the one hand, actual consumption ot
steel is steadily increasing and has been
since the latter part ot last year,, while
on the other hand, there is much more
steel-making capacity than is now be
ing utilized. Capacity is about one-third
greater than the present production.
Increase Is 23 Per Cent.
Production of steel ingots in April and
May amounted to slightly over B.OOO.OOO
gross tons, against 4,U00,000 tons in Feb
ruary and March. In other words, the
steel industry made 23 per cent more
steel in the first two months ot the coal
strike than in the last two months before
the strike began. Production in April
and May was at a rate of fully 37,000.000
tons a year, or only 12 per cent under
the average rate in the first nine months
of 1020, when there was extremely heavy
pressure for steel deliveries on the part
of all consuming lines, with fancy prices
being paid for early deliveries. The rate
of production Is now about 38,000,000
tons a year.
Regular prices for finished steel prod
uct are: Bar shapes and plates, $1.60;
hoops, bands and hot-rolled strips. $2.25;
standard steer pipe, 71 per cent, basing
discount; plain wire, S2.25; tin plate,
14.75; blue annealed sheets, J4.50; black
beets, $3.15; galvanized sheets, $3.15;
automobile sheets, $4.60. On some of
these products premiums rule for early
deliveries. In. particular, most of the in
dependents are quoting Jl.7091.80 on
plates, shapes and bars and are secur
ing some orders within the range of early
deliveries. Several sheet mills are quot
ing $57 a ton above the regular- prices
but little tonnage is going at these ad
vances. ,
Sheet Baying Moderate'.
There has been a moderate amount ef
buying of sheet for deliveries beyond
July 1 at the regular prices. For six
weeks nails have been sold at $2.40 by
the American Steel & Wire company and
$2.50 by the independents. Ot late the
business done has been only for early
deliveries, there being no regular trans
actions for third quarters.
The pig iron market remains stag
nant, there being few transactions and
then only In email tonnages, while there
Is scarcely any inquiry. The market is
regarded as standing at $25 for Besse
mer and basic and $24 for foundry, f. o.
b. valiey furnaces.
It is well recognized that when coke
becomes lesa scarce there will be a re
adjustment in pig Iron prices to a
level commensurate with the cost of
production, perhaps in the neighborhood
of $21 or $22, and consumers are dis
posed to clean up their stocks completely
before attempting to buy. Foundries are
taking deliveries well on their old com.
tracts, but It Is plain that the foundries
as a whole are far from being busy.
This as shown separately by pig iron,
coke and scrap , all three lines being in
active as regards foundries.

International Jboans Feature of
" Day's . Market Changes in ,
J - - Balls 'Are Slight.
NEW YORK, June S. Foreign or In
ternational loans were the conspicuous
features of today's bond market, the
domestic list displaying much of its
recent Irregularity, apart from liberties,
which were relatively steady.
The new' hlgn record made by sterling
exchange was accompanied by strength
in United Kingdom issues and moderate
improvement among French, Belgian and
Brazilian bonds, but Mexican 4s and 5s
were at losses at one to two points.
Changes in the railway list were re
stricted mostly to fractional gains and
losses, but some of the industrials, no
tably Bethlehem Steel refunding 6s
showed marked heaviness, although off
set by the strength of the company's
purchase money 5s.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $15,
739,000. The new Brazilian government loan
for $25,000,000 and the City of Prague
$7,500,000 mortgage loan constituted the
important new underwritings. Both were
largely oversubscribed on large par
ticipations from investment sources.
Offerings of market leaders fre
quently exceeded the buying power on
the stock exchange today, these con
flicting movements causing considerable
uncertainty or unsettlement throughout
the active session.
Cross cuorents were most pronounced
among the popular oils, steels, rails and
numerous miscellaneous stocks. Early de
clines of one to four points in. such is
sues were balanced by gains of like ex
tent, but the forces of reactions were in
control at the market's close. Sales
amounted to 1,200,000 shares.
Incidents over the week end, notably
the publicity given to the promotion
phases ot the Republic-Midvale-Inland
steel merger and the extravagant specu
lation of pools in comparatively obscure
specialties provoked fresh short selling
and liquidation for the long account. .
These tendencies became more obvious
in the last hour of the trading periods
on news that the federal trade commis
sion had taken steps to prevent the
merger of the Bethlehem and Lacka
wanna steel companies. Rumors then
current in the financial district declared
that action aiming ,at the abrogation of
other projects of similar character
would be taken by the federal au
thorities. United States Steel was the one prom
ising feature among ter.ders, rising to a
new high for years at 10314 in the final
hour, but the so-called independents
closed at losses of one to two points, oils
rallying moderately on . the - strength
shown by Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Lake Erie & Western common again fea
tured the apathetic rails at a four-point
gain and Du Pont was foremost among
specialties, adding 6 points to last
week's gain of almost 25 points.
Constructive features of ihe day em
braced another buoyant rise in sterling
exchange, easier money rates, further
advances in prices of crude oil products
and optimistic trade reports from , in
terior centers.
Call money opened at 4 per cent, re
flecting last week's expansion of clear
ing house loans, but the rate gradually
eased to 3 per cent. Conditions af
fecting time money were unaltered, most
accommodations again being limited to
30 and 00 days at 4 per cent.
The high rate of the day for London
demand exchange for $4.50, but that
