...expected, but was the lowest of any year since 1909 with the exception of 1921. Blast furnaces in operation stood at 113 against 116 on April 1. Steel operations throughout the country were placed at 47% against 48% the previous week, and steelmen hoped a gain by Chevrolet might offset Ford's declining production. Scrap prices dropped lower, tin and rail operations fell. The unfilled orders of United States Steel Corp. on April 30 stood at 3,897,729 tons, a drop of 97,601 tons from March 31 and of 456,591 tons from April 30. 1930. Pipeline...

To offset this 43-million loss further it was announced that $15,000,000 will be lopped from the budgets of all ministries -that is, from all but the war budget. The Italian Army will cost $156,000,000 next year; the navy, $80.923,000; the air force, $40,000.000. Two days...
