Government price fixes cut steel and iron costs under wartime agreement
A wartime agreement between manufacturers and the War Production Board lowers prices for steel, iron, and related products. Pig iron and steel bar prices fall markedly, with steel plates and shaped steel hit hard. While nominal prices drop, farm prices still lag, and overall producer profits rise as production stays above normal, triggering favorable reports in Wallace's Farmer.
