Scrap Junk Is 1940 Prosperity Bandwagon Warned
Pittsburgh January 10 The Institute of Scrap Tron and Steel predicted the American junk market will drive prosperity in 1940. Scrap dealers at the annual convention expect a rise in activity as fourth quarter waste metal shipments exceed prior records. Edwin C. Barringer of New York, executive secretary, called the outlook a merry round with steel output fueling more scrap. He said the automobile sector uses more steel in a week than the Navy program in three years. Half of all steel comes from scrap and dealers last year sold 34,800,000 tons to the steel industry, mostly along the coasts and for export to Japan and wartime powers.
