Steel Corp. Wednesday increased its prices for large volume steel sheet and strip products by $8.50 to $13 a ton, effective with shipments June 16 and July 1. The increases, which U.S. Steel said averaged 6 1-4 per cent, affect products used by the auto, appliance and other industries. The boosts generally had been expected because the steel industry has been boosting prices on most of its products this year as fast as the 12-month price freeze guarantees attached to the 1970 price hike roiind expired.

In Washington, a spokesman for the President's Council of Economic Advisers said the price increases were "not particularly surprising" and the steel industry "apparently considers this their annual increase." He said a much greater worry to economic planners is the possibility of further increases this year to offset higher wage costs. The price boosts on flat rolled are not designed to compensate for any additional wage cost increases they may incur. Industry sources also have indicated that a second round of price boosts is possible in the second half of this year to compensate for any wage hike. Bethlehem Steel the nation's second largest producer, has calculated that, should the USW win a settlement like the three-year, 30 per cent-plus pact won from the can makers in March, it would have to boost its steel prices across the board by eight per cent a year -jsfvitri mm i Mi j' I Ui fil i ill -I'te ffi UT I for three years "just to 6tay even."

BOTH SPELL products are close to the level which the Nixon administration apparently found acceptable when construction steel products went up last March.

One producer had posted increases of $16 to $17 per ton on construction steels, but later substituted increases of $9 to $12 per ton after U.S. Steel came in at that level. The price freeze guarantee on other producers are expected to follow include: A $9 a ton increase on hot rolled sheet and strip, effective June 16.
