STEEL POOLS FATE
Not Yet Determined by the Com
panies Interested.

NEW YORK, Deg. Representa-
tives of twentyl of the largest steel
and iron companies in this country
met today with a view, chiefly, of de-
Gliding whether the present pool shall
continue in existence or be dissolved.
Maj. L. P. Bent of Philadelphia, was
chairman. When the meeting adj
journed, Secretary Griscom announced
that nothing definite had been decided
upon, owing to the absence Of a report
from one of the largest interests. This
interest, it Is presumed, is the Bel
laire Steel company, which, some
weeks ago, drew out of the pool. there
by causing an immediate slump in the
market. 1t was also learned from a
trustworthy source that the Carnegie
Steel company evinced a disinclination
to- agree to certain terms of sup
posed new agreement. Another meet
fng will be. held tomorrow. In reply
to a question, Secretary Griscom said
II do not think that a dissolution of
the pool is at all likely. On the con-
trary. believe it will be strengthened
in short time"
