Importing Iron Amid Strong Demand In Steel Trade
The Iron Trade Review notes weekly sales of about 125000 tons of bessemer iron for delivery largely in the current quarter. United States Steel Corp bought much at 15.78 to leg furnaces or 16.50 Pittsburg. prices elsewhere ranged up to 20.25. Coke shortages slow production, boosting imports and signaling higher prices ahead. German bessemer iron and other foreign sales to the United States are reported, with domestic mills unable to fully meet demand. No vember treasury data show rising pig iron imports, while independent mills prepare for foreign steel needs as central western plants rely on imports. Continuous movement of coke to furnaces and anticipated six month constraints on furnishable steel characterize the market.
