GIGANTIC STEEL TRUST.
COMBINATION OF GREAT INTERESTS
EXPECTED SOON
CAPITAL IN EXCESS OF 800 o00-CAR-
NEGIE PROBABLY TO ENTER THE
sCHEME-OTHER COMPANIES
INTER ESTED

| Every indication seems to point to the early
formation Of a gigantic combination, which
shall include all the great iron and steel inter-
| ests OF the country. with a total capitalization
well in excess OF $5OOOO0,OOO Representatives
| OF most OF these companies have been In con-
ference at the Holland House every day this
week. and the announcement Of their agreement
on a plan of consolidation IL generally expected
by the end OF the week. 1t is said on excellent
authority that the great Carnegie interests, the
American Steel and Wire Company, the Ameri
can Tnpate Company, the National Steel Com
pspy and the recently incorporated Steel Hoop
Company have already agreed to become par
lies to the combination which will include also
the Rockefeller iron properties: that the Repub
lie Iron and Steel Company, incorporated yes
terday at Trenton, with a capital OF S55,0OO.
0O0 will promptly enter it, and that the Fed
eral Steel Company will be consolidated
with the rest. although terms have not yet been
made with that 100000 corporation. AL
though the Federal Steel Company has many
iron mines. 1t is declared it has not enough to
render its position impregnable the rival in
terests having succeeded in obtaining control OF
certain properties which would have been OF
enormous advantage to Federal Steel. the result
being that the latter corporation will be obliged
to come into the combination There were re-
ports yesterday that the proposed new COM
pany would be financed by the National City
Bank. j. P. Morgan & Co. and ]. & w. Seg-
man & Co. The first two denied the report. and
a representative Of ]. & w. Seigman & Co. said
that the time was not ripe for a discussion OF
the matter.
One OF the leading officers Of the Federal Steel
Company said yesterday: I'VE hope the Car
negies the National Steel, American Tinplate
and American Steel Hoop companies will sue
ceed in effectng their proposed combination. but
we shall not be in 1t. We have been approached
at various times with propositions but have
seen no reason for taking up any of them. We
control our business from the material in
the ground to the finished product, and could
not improve our position by entering any COM
bine. The other people need something of this
kind. If they succeed, the competition we now
have with the different interests will be ma
terially reduced"
