Lumber and steel markets face mixed week amid strikes
Lumber prices were kept steady despite small shipments and a shipping strike. Mills anticipate a railway wage settlement favorable to employers and expect railways to demand more lumber for cars and ties. The shipping strike eases gradually with some sailings resuming. Iron and steel output in May shows about 30 percent operation, with pig iron production at 1,221,221 tons for May and 1,193,041 tons for April.
