CARNEGIE SERENE.
Andrew Is Not Afraid of an Open
Competition.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 11.-Andrew
Carnegie arrived in the city last night,
and was closeted today with the Off
cials of the Carnegie Steel Co., limited,
denying himself to all interVieWerS.
None of the officials of the company
would express themselves upon the
recent collapse Of the billet and rail
pool, and the threatened dissolution of
the iron ore combination. The iron
and steel market is in a highly agitated
state over the present condition, but it
is evident that the Carnegie company
is by no means worried over the pros
poets of open markets with the fierceSt
competition. A prominent steel manu-
facturer said: LAS far as low prices
on billets and steel rails are concern
ed, it is generally conceded that the
Carnegies are prepared to compete I'M
der any conditions The recent COM
pletion of the two largest blast fur
naces in the world by which the cost
Of pig iron is reduced; their alliance
with the coke interests and the fact
that they are paying a wage scale
which contains a 10 per cent bonus
that can be taken off at any time, gives
them an advantage that is conceded in
iron and steel circles
"A matte er that is interesting the trade
particularly at this time is the question
whether the iron ore combination can
withstand the influence that has been
Wreching the combinations on finished
productions Last year the output CT
ore was proportional among the
mines with the view of limiting the
production to 100000 tons, and put
ting the price up from $3.50 per ton to
$3.50 and sustaining 1t at that point.
This was accomplished throughout the
year, but 1T had as a sustaining in
f1uence the steel rail, billet and beam
pools, which kept up the price Of fin
ished products The recent 50-year lease
of the Mountain Iron mine in the Mesa
ba range from the Rockefeller interests
by the Carnegie Steel company, may
prove large factor in the ore pool
1t will enable this company to secure
a large amount of it's ore at a decided
advantage, and this advantage will be
Ell hanced by the low railroad rates on
the Butler & Pittsburg railroad. which
the Carnegie company is building from
Pittsburg to the lakes"

ORE COMBINATION.
Some Question as to Whether 1t VIII
Survive.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 1.-THE col
lapse of the steel pool, and the sharp
decline in the prices was the ali-ab-
sorbing topic Of conversation around
the offices of ore producers and iron
and steel manufacturers in this city to-
day. The ore producers have held
several meetings here during the past
two or three months, but In each case
have adjourned without deciding upon
a policy or fixing prices for the pres
ent year. Another meeting was to
have taken place here Feb. 16, but it
is stated that, for various reasons, it
has been postponed and will not be
held until toward the latter part OF
the present month. 1t is expected then
that the ore men will either enter into
q joint agreement with regards to out
put and prices, or will decide to let
each man shift for himself John d.
Rockefeller has been represented In
the meetings of the ore producers here
tofore held during the winter, and it
is understood will be represented at
the coming gathering this month The
concensuS Of opinion among the larger
ore producers seems to be that there are
now better reasons than ever why the
operators should enter into an agree
ment 1t is pointed out that, with the
collapse of the steel pool and the de-
moraliZation Of prices in finished goods.
there must necessarily be big increase
in consumption on account OF buyers
desiring to take advantage of the low
prices. This will, Of course stimulate
the demand for ore, and the operators,
while admitting that their prices should
largely be regulated by quotations on
the finished product, believe that they
should now. Of all times, work together
harmoniOusly.
One Of the largest ore producers
on Lake Superior said today that. be-
yond the fact that Mr. Carnegie had
leased from John d. Rockefeller one
or two mines, he felt confident that
there had been no further deal be-
tween them, but that all the talk about
consolidation Of interests or working
arrangement between the two was
without foundation.

CONDITION IN CRETE.
Official Statement by Curxon An the
House of Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE parliamen-
tary secretary for the foreign office,
George N. Curzon answering a ques-
ton in the house of commons, concern
ing the trouble in Crete, said that the
British consular reports showed that
there were seven hundred Christians
ON the heights of Halepa and an un-
known number to the westward. He
added that the general tenor of the
reports indicates that the Christians
of that district were rather the as
sailants than the attacked.
Continuing, Mr. Curzon said that the
British naval commander in Cretan
waters cabled on Sunday last that an
agreement had been made by which
the Christians were not to advance any
further. He had no information to
show that the Turkish authorities had
armed or encourage the Mussulmans.
A Mussulman mob, Mr.. Curzon also
said, had forcibly seized the rifles in
the arsenal at Gambia, two Turkish
guards being killed In the affray.

Thrive, Must Either Hold, Himself, or
Drive''-Humphreys Didn't.
Sylvania, Ga, Nov. 3O,-Mr. B. c. Hum
phreys, of Cyclone in this county, is one
of the few farmers, who has given the
cotton planting question a fair and accu-
rate test this year. What he says is in
teresting, from the fact that he hired all
of his work DONE planted good land, kept
an account of every cent that he spent,
and sold his crop as fast as it was gather
ed. His figures are not encouraging to a
man, who is thinking of going into the
cotton-raising business, but they are true.
Mr.. Humphreys planted twenty-seven
acres of cotton on bale-to-the-acre land.
and gathered twenty-seven bales. As
stated, he hired all of the work done, from
start to finish. He has just wound up the
experiment, and after getting the receipts
of the twenty-seven bales. and paying all
the expenses of the crop, he struck bal
ance and found that he was tweny-siX
dollars behind. The crop actually cost him
twentY-siX dollars more to make it than he
got for it, Mr.. Humphreys was fortunate
in selling his cotton as fast as il was
gathered, for if he had held it for higher
prices, he would, of course, have been
much deeper in the hole. While the fact
that cotton at the present prices doesn' L
pay, is no news, and the average farmer
has but to reach down in his pocket to dis
cover the truth of the statement, yet a fair
and accurate record like this which Mr..
Humphreys has kept demonstrates the
fact beyond all peradventure.
