With a Cuast Mill He Can Compete
With the World,

PittsburG, March II Gossip is rife
among the iron and steel brokers and manu-
factureTs over the probabilities involved
as result OF the amCable arrangement be-
tween tine Carnegie Steel Company, Limi-
ted, and the Pennsylvania Steel Company.
by which the Pttsburg firm is TO furnish
steel billets to tie SteeltOn Company ut
81 below the cost OF making them at its
own plant, and the plant of the Maryland
steel Company, at Sparrow's Point. which
is owned lay the stockholders of the Penn
sylVania steel Company, is to be turned
over for use by the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, Limited, to roll rails for export.
This is thought to indicate that the Car
negie Company has booked large orders for
rails and thatitcannots supplythem as fast as
demanded, and has arranged TO roll those
intended for export to Europe, Asia and
South America at the Sparrow's Point
plant. Others think the Pittsburg firm
intends to enter more largely into the
export trade, and finding the plant of the
Maryland Steel Companyidle, wellequipped
and conveniently located at tide water,
has n view its purchase for the manufac-
ture Of its export products.
