To a con- siderable extent the improvement is due to the protective tariff that the industry now enjoys, but there' is a parallel movement in America and on the Continent which shows demand is of a world nature, aris- ing from a partial dissipation of the great slump, Steel, being a for basic material, is required many purposes, but there is no doubt that a large part of the present demand can be traced to three or four speciflc., industries.

There is first, and foremost, the now highly prosperous motor in-

dustry. Bide by side with this has gone the building of new roads and the modernising of old

ones, both of which activities involve the construction of new bridges, now generally made of steel. Then, too, there has been A renaissance of shipbuilding, always a large consumer of steel. The railway companies, encourag ed by rising receipts, are placing orders for renewals. Finally, the British Government's compaign against the slums is leading, and will increasingly lead, to demands
