;; "Top Trading Houses Are Making Big Inroads Into High-Growth Markets For
;;  Rolled Steel In Southeast Asia."

;; glosses:
;;	"top trading houses" are an indeterminate set of "trading houses"
;;	whose "size" by some measure (revenue dollars, employees, capital,
;;	etc.) is very large.  Although the term is used metonymically, it
;;	is not clear that we should substitute the set of employees; the
;;	legal 'persons' of those companies' businesses may be better.
;;
;;	"making big inroads into markets" means expanding (increasing)
;;	one's share of the business represented by those markets.
