ufacturers In.

ufacturers In.
CLEVELAND Dec. 26.-There is talk
among steel men of further extension of
tho scope of the new wire trust 1t is now
said that Efforts will be made to induce all
the steel billet mills in the country to ally
themselves with the trust, not as members,
but as contributors. The trust will seek TO
induce the manufacturers of bilets to prom
ise not to sell to wire manufacturers who
may possibly start outside the trust and in
return the trust will promise to take billets
from all these manufacturers as 1t may need
them. The object of this is to keep the bill
let makers in good humor, to prevent them
going into the wire business themselves.
Those who are closest to the sources of in
formation express the greatest confidence
In carrying through the plans Of the trust
and it may be said the plans are progressing
favorably
