Steel demand dominates war era steel sales in New York
New York, Sept. 12. The steel industry remains dominated by war munitions demand. Last week sales of blooms billets and bars were about 150000 tons, a drop from the prior week as mills could not take on more heavy output. Prices for finished steel rose amid broad demand for rails and locomotives, with railroads ordering tens of thousands of tons and major lines preparing new specifications. The American Locomotive Company secured a Spanish engine order, and a notable local merchant visited Coffinworth. The Board of Review is set to meet Wednesday morning.
