SOUTHERN IRON MEN HARMONIOUS.
An Understanding Reached to Prevent Cutting
 Prices.
Special to The Age-Herald.

New York March 11.-An the southern iron and steel companies, with two unim- portant exceptions, have reached am in formal understanding designed to prevent unfair cutting of prices of their product. and to promote more satisfactory trade re- latons The combination Qf combination may be said to exist by reason of mere comparison of prices among agents) in- cludes the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road Company, the Sloss Iron and Steel Company and a number of corporations of somewhat less magnitude.
 A report was placed in circulation today that the directors of the two larger com panes would meet soon in this city to consider a project for a joint selling agen- cy. Not only did this report lack con firmation, but authoritative statements were made to the effect that the chief 4n- terests involved had no idea whatever of taking any action which might place then, i'm the position of seeming to disregard the federal or state statutes concerning un- lawful restraint of trade. At the same time, 1t is recognized that an understand ing well within the legal restrictions plac- upon such measures, would prove advan- tageous to their business; and consequent- ly, they have arranged that their selling agents shall be kept informed of the prices their competitors are quoting, and in this way be better able to conduct the marketing of their company's product with regard to its best interests.

 OF ANXIETY
In Madrid Over the Strained Relations With Uncle
 Sam.

Madrid, March 1.-The anxiety as to the relations between Spain and the United States, which has pervaded financial and commercial circles for several days, cul- minated on Thursday in a heavy fall in funds, all securities of the exterior and interior debts declining one per cent. Treasury bonds declined 1 to 2 per cent, Cuban bonds going down per cent; Bank of ST ain shares dropping from 4.13 to All and Tobacco shares going down from 255 to 240. Foreign exchanges have risen in an unprecedented degree, the prices on Paris being at 38 premium ard on Lon- don at 39 premium.
 All the newspapers call upon the govern ment to stop the panic by a prompt and clear statement as to the real conditions existing in Cuba, and also defining the in- ternational relations.
 The newspapers re-echo the profour sensation and displeasure caused by the United States sending the Montgomery to Havana, and by the appropriation of $5O,- 900 900 for the national defense.
 On the other hand 1t Is said in official circles and announced by the papers that while nothing fresh has occurred in Cuta a or in the relations between Spain and the United States to justify alarm, Senor Cas- tillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, has brought favorable impressions of the disposition of the European press 7and governments toward Spain.
