You can even make a cooketi

face of short inventories, com
mented the national metal working
weekly.
"They will make the switch to
to new models almost without
missing a beat hi production. And
a roll call of other industries
shows pretty much the same pic
ture," Reason for the log-jam is the
short-lived steel "strike" of two
weeks ago. Although it was the
briefest in industry history; the
contract strike "set deliveries
back a week to 10 days on some ,
product," Iron Age stated.
"Mills arc still struggling to gel
back to the pre-strike production
level," the publication said. "It's
questionable whether this will be
achieved in the next several ,
weeks."
Faced With Major Problems !
Producers are faced with these i
major problems: ;
1. The maintenance situation'
complicated by the strike.
2. A cut in available supply of ;
hot iron, because furnaces arc
shut down for repairs.
3. The usual hot weather and ,
vacation factors which normally
slow output. J
Meanwhile, Iron Age pointed out
the steel industry has difficulties
i the scrap front.
"The scrap market is running ;
wild," it said. "Prices this week
jumped as much as $5 per ton in '
some consuming areas. I
"Steel companies are In a bad
way for scrap. The blast furnace
shutdowns and attempts to step
up production to pre-strikc levels ,
have put a premium on scrap."
Ingot Production Up j
Ingot production this week is i
estimated at 93 per cent of the
annual rated capacity of J25.800,
000 tons. This is seven points high
er than last week.
Steel price boosts after the wage
settlement jumped Iron Age's
composite hase. price for finished
steel 57.62 per ton to $103.56.
