                     This Amendment No. 8 ("Amendment No. 8") amends and

No. 2 filed on December 8, 1997, Amendment No. 3 filed on December 24, 1997,
Amendment No. 4 filed on May 20, 1998, Amendment No. 5 filed on August 6, 1998,
Amendment No. 6 filed on August 13, 1998 and Amendment No. 7 filed on September

Partners, L.P. ("Greentree"), Greenhouse Partners, L.P. ("Greenhouse"),

L.P. ("Greensea"), Greenhut Overseas, L.L.C. ("Greenhut Overseas"), Alfred D.
Kingsley ("Kingsley") and Gary K. Duberstein ("Duberstein"; and together with
the foregoing persons, the "Reporting Persons"). Capitalized terms used herein
and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 1.    SECURITY AND ISSUER

                     This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock
("Shares") of Ryerson Tull, Inc. (the "Company"). On February 25, 1999, Ryerson
Tull, Inc. ("RT"), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company (which was then
named "Inland Steel Industries, Inc."), merged with and into the Company and the
Company changed its name to Ryerson Tull, Inc." Pursuant to such merger (the
"Merger") each share of RT Class A common stock was converted into 0.61 Share of
the Company. The Reporting Persons owned (i) immediately prior to Merger,
360,100 shares of RT Class A common stock and 1,851,307 Shares, and (ii)
immediately after the Merger, 2,070,968 Shares. The principal executive offices
of the Company are located at 2621 West 15th Place, Chicago, Illinois 60608.

ITEM 3.    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                     Since the filing of Amendment No. 7, accounts managed by
Greenbelt purchased an aggregate of 504,900 Shares for total consideration
(including brokerage commissions) of $6,326,984 derived from capital in the
accounts that it manages and indebtedness from Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.

                     Since the filing of Amendment No. 7, Kingsley purchased an
aggregate of 200,000 Shares for total consideration (including brokerage
commissions) of $1,612,700 derived from personal funds of Mr. Kingsley and
indebtedness to Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Spear, Leeds & Kellogg.

                     The Reporting Persons acquired 219,661 Shares in connection
with the Merger.

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                     The Reporting Persons believe that, given the present low
market price of the Shares, the Company should take affirmative steps to create
shareholder value. To this end, the Reporting Persons believe that the Board of


                                       11
<PAGE>
Directors of the Company should consider, among other value-enhancing
possibilities, a sale of the Company. The Reporting Persons intend to monitor
developments at the Company and may communicate with the Company, other
shareholder and interested parties concerning the Company.

                     The Reporting Persons may from time-to-time (i) acquire
additional Shares (subject to availability at prices deemed favorable) in the
open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or (ii) dispose
of Shares at prices deemed favorable in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise.
