Steel billets sale hints at price cut in Pittsburg district
A report in Wall Street yesterday claimed a sale of 7 000 tons of steel billets in the Pittsburg district at about 3 per ton below the regular price. The seller was said to be a New York firm, though steel circles deny that big producers have broken ranks. The Iron Trade Review notes a 3 cut and notes the high billet price remains a vulnerable point in the price schedule. The Iron Age discusses pig iron talks and limited prospects for price action. Output declines at steel works show lower coke and anthracite furnace production in April versus March.
