British Urge Imports Controls Over American Steel Prices
British steel makers worry over US prices and urged import restrictions. American finished steel costs are about 12 dollars higher per ton than British rates, while four inch billets fetch 88.50 dollars in the United States versus 55 dollars in Britain. Reports to the National Foreign Trade Council say overseas trade and domestic markets are at risk, with freight costs delaying American raw steel imports. The June 12 note cites a 4.25 dollar price cut in American prices.
