Iron Trade Activity Grows Amid Policy Tensions and New Orders
The Iron Trade Review reports rising mill activity and favorable overall iron world conditions despite a potential strike against the open shop policy of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company. New orders for cars rise, rat and billet divisions show strong monthly rolling orders, and building activity increases with major architectural firms receiving many plans. England shows fair conditions, Germany shows coke and pig iron excess and weak business, while pig iron orders stay small and prices hold. In Chicago, 199,900 tons are projected with about 6,000 tons contract closures last week. New contracts include a Kelvin smelter project, a 2700 ton New York apartment, 3500 tons for the City Hospital in San Francisco, and more. The Iron Age notes steady markets with pending heavy work, moderate pig iron business, and a consolidation movement among Central and Eastern Pennsylvania bar mills not tied to recent mergers.

High Record for U. P. Preferred Stock
Union Pacific preferred stock rose to a new high of 1034 amid recent strength. Rumors of retirement via convertible bonds or two for one common exchange were dismissed by well informed sources. The charter lacks a retirement provision and stockholder approval would be required, making such a move unlikely. A revived holding company theory offers little support pending government probe results.
