A Statement from Cleveland That Wash

Cleveland, o., March 1O.-This weeks
Iron Trade Review will sayi Every
thing is off in the proposed consolida-

The reports of the experts as to the
earnings of some of the companies do
not verify the representations which
were made, and the properties of these
companies will not be purchased. There
fore the consolidation as originally con-
templated will not be cof1summated. 1t
now seems certain that consolidation
of some, If not a majority, of these com
panies win be made about April l.
"The names of the companies referred
to in the above are not at present avail
able. Thus far the market has not
shown any effect of the failure to reach
agreement at New York, perhaps be-
cause the trade has not been informed
