Thirteen Companies Unite With Au-

its foundation. On Monday the direct
ors of the Benjamin Atha and Iliings-
worth company, of Harrison, N J.,
which was the last of the important
companies to hold out, met in Newark,
and decided to grant the promoters an
option on their crucible and open hearth
plant. and cast their fortunes with the
other concerns.
The new company will have an au-
thorized capital of $4,000, 600, divided
equally into common and per cent

ganization is looked for within 30 days
Its organization will be On the same
lines as the American Sheet Steel COM
pany. Of the $50 000, 900 preferred stock,
from SIS, 0000 900 to $40, 900 600 will be used
in buying the plants, while the balance
will be placed on the market to provide

said Mr.. Atha, of the Benjamin Atha
and Illingsworth company, but I am
safe in saying that it is not the ex-
pectation of the promoters to have the
stock UNDERWATER. The companies
that will sell out to the Crucible COM
pany will take SEQ 600, 900 of the stock,
and the balance will be absorbed by

not created the interest aroused by the

day.

supreme ignorance which usually char

tiers regarding America is likely to be

few nations have expressed, on account

warmth of feeling toward France the
public here is surprised at the express

have no political motive behind them.

said: There is no probability of any
further exports this year. unless in the
event OF some extraordinary or unfore-
seen contingency. On the contrary we
are much nearer the importing move

not certain If exchange goes down to

would bring better returns than or
