Structural Steel from China

, Mr "Walter C. Pettit, 279 Clarence Street, Sydney, who represents, amongst other Eastern firms the Han-Yeh Ping Iron Co., of Hankow, China, returned from a visit to China and Japan on May 8. He states that whereas the foregoing company were formerly in a position to supply pig iron in this market they are not now able to do so owing to extraordinary demands of Russia and Japan, obviously in connection with the war. The firm, however, arc large manufacturers of structural steel, and have now arranged to quote for this and mild steel bars in Australia. Although shipping facilities are not what could be desired, the firm are in a position to execute reasonably large orders and give fairly prompt delivery.
