APIG IRON TRUST.
Four Companies Agree TO Establish n
Joint Agency.

New York, March 3l.-The four large
iron producing concerns forming what Is
known as the birmingham district" IN
Alabama. whose representatives entered
into an agreement last week to esta bl.sh
a joint selling agency. intend TO raise
prices on pig iron as soon as the over
stock Is disposed of.
All are controlled in q great measure
by Northern men. John Fl. lnman. of
the Tennessee, said to-day that the COM
bination would not affect the Northern
concerns. as they manufactured Bessc-
mer iron.
The nearing Of the agreement, he
said. is simply that these four concerns.
instead of cutting each others throa.s
through their agents in different cities,
VIII all stick to the same price fixed as
the demand for iron varies.
The price of pig iron last September
| was $3.50 ton. 1t is our intention af
ter the old stock is out of the way, 10
run up the price, probably to $3.50 again.
