Features of trade and outlook for Edgar Thomson Works

The Edgar Thomson Works near Braddock runs about 1,400 tons daily with capacity near 1,800 tons. Orders suffice to absorb output while curtailment among rail manufacturers keeps prices at 39 to 73 dollars per ton. New machinery lowers native rail costs by at least 125 dollars a ton, boosting daily gains. Leather outlook notes slim profits, overproduction, and price competition as tanners seek rival curtailment to restore margins. A New York meeting May 7 and Boston May 12 push toward a nationwide leather production halt, with cautious optimism for eventual recovery and better times ahead.
