CONDITION OF THE STEEL AND
IRON TRADE

Certain out of town reports concerning the gen
eral condition OF the steel and iron trade were
made clear yesterday by President Gary, Of the
Federal Steel Company. Dispatches from Pitts
burg and other Western points said that the man
of several of the largest plants, the Carnegie
company included had made cut in the price OF
Bessemer pig iron and steel Inasmuch as the
Carnegie company has been unable for years 70
manufacture sufficient pig iron for its own use the
report that it is selling that product reduced
price is obviously From Pittsburg also
came the report that the Federal Steel Company
and several allied concerns had opposed an open
market" This characterized as untrue by
President Gary. In his opinion 1t is altogether
probable that prices have reached a point where
they will admit Of little further reduction
AS for the report that steel rails are to be cut
from 81 10 SO ton, Judge Gary said that it was
most unlikely. The demand for rails Federal
Steel speciality, is still large, with every indica-
ton that it will continue for the rest Of the year
he said.
A representative Of the American Sheet Steel
Company said yesterday, in reply to advices from
PittsbuTg that the company had signed the sheet
scale Of the Amalgamated Association Of Iron
Steel and Tin Workers: The scale was signed only
for mills running union mills. The Independent
non-union mills arranged directly with the com
pany practically the same rates as those OF last
year"
It is believed that all the mills will make similar
terms with the Amalgamated Association, and that
all the plants now closed will reopen with lttF
delay.
