NO HITCH in THE PLANS
JOHN w. GATES SAYS NEGOTIATIONS
ARE GOING ON SMOOTHLY.
Early Close of the Deal Is Expected
Charles NJ. Schwab Selected for
President of the New Company.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: Every indication points
to a speedy consummation Of the great deal
whereby the large steel and iron interests
are to be combined in a definite trade
agreement bound by community of owner
ship. and Wall street is momentarily ex-
pecting a public announcement Of the de-
tails of the combination. In spite Of rumors
to the contrary, ii was authoritatively said
to-day by John w. Gates that the negotia-
tions were proceeding without a hitch. II
was said that the American Steel and Wire
Company had raised some obstacle. A
special meeting Of the directors of the COM
pany was held this morning, and although
1t could not be learned definitely what was
the business Of the meeting, 1t was pretty
well understood that whatever hitch there
may have been was smoothed over behind
closed doors.
''Mr. Gates said to a reporter of this
newspaper this forenoon: The rumors that
hitch in the negotiations has arisen is un-
true. There is no hitch; everything is go
ing smoothly
Mr.. Clifford. director Of the company,
said: There Is deal on, but whether the
American Steel and Wire and the Federal
Steel companies will be merged by the pur-
chase of the controlling interest of the
American Steel and Wire by j. Pierpont
Morgan. i cannot say
Charles M. Schwab has been definitely
selected as president of the new combina-
tion''
The most authoritative statement given
out to-day was made by Judge ID. c. Reid
a leading factor in the so-called Moore
S.eel Companies" organized and promoted
by Judge Moore, formerly of Chicago
Judge Reid is the president of the Amer
lean Tin Plate Company. and prominent
man in the four allied companies-the
American Tin Plate, American Steel Hoop
the American Sheet Steel and the National
Steel companies. Representatives of the
four companies met in Judge Reds office
this afternoon to discuss the offer which is
said to have been made for their stock by
the representatives of the Morgan syndi-
cate. Those present at the conference are
said to represent the majority holders of
stock in the four companies. At the con-
clusion of the conference Judge Reid Init
mated that these corporations probably
would become part of the great Morgan
steel combination. He is quoted as saying
while cannot give the details of the
meeting, will say that everything is run
ming along smoothly and shall be able
TO make complete announcements in a few
days"
The World tomorrow will say: Andrew
NJ. Moreland, a minority stockholder in the
Carnegie Steel Company. is still in the
city. In an interview regarding the Car
negie-Morgan steel deal he said: L am not
allied to any party in the matter. 1 am

SANCTIONED BY THE COURT.
A Plan to Buy AnE1O-American As
sOciatiOn Assets ApprOyed,

In the consolidated cases of James w.
Carpenter ct al, James II. Claggett ct.
al. and Walter F. Siddall et al. against
the Anglo-American Savings and Loan
Association, Justice Clabaugh yesterday
signed an order approving the proposal
Of the Empire Realty Company made to
the receivers, both in New York and this
city, Of the association, to purchase its
assets. The association was last winter
declared to be insolvent by the Supreme
Court OF the State of New York, and its
affairs were placed in the hands of receiv-
ers. This action was taken on the appli-
cation of the Attorney General for the
State of New York. The association has
considerable property interests in the Dis
trlct OF Columbia, and local receivers for
those assets We're appointed by Judge
Bradley some months ago, for tie pur-
pose OF conserving and protecting them
until the final winding up of the affairs
of the association.
In an effort to save as much as posi-
bic for the stockholders, the former direc-
tors OF the association, comprising among
their number eX-Postmaste General
James, John d. Vermeule. of the Good
year Rubber Company; George NJ Hard,
President of the Chatham National Bank
OF New York City, and others, organized
the Empire Realty Company, under the
Incorporation laws of the State of New
York, and this company offered to pur-
chase all the assets of the association.

cash $4,000. giving bond to the receivers
for quarter of a million dollars that the
property so purchased would net to the
receivers so per cent of their book cost
value. and giving a blanket mortgage on
all of the property so purchased by the
realty company. AS the realty company
sells the property so purchased it is re-
quired TO turn over to the receivers the
proceeds of sales made until the so per
cent book cost value has been realized
and paid to the receivers.

mon stock of generous proportions before

The coalers were distinctly strong
though not particularly active. The ten
dency toward higher prices shown by
these securities recently has less the look
of being the result of manipulation than
most of the upward movements. Little
business is done in the group. but stock
seems to be very scarce, and when pur-
chase is made IT is usually at an advance
in the price. The reasons why these Sc
curities should be attractive are numer-
Gus. the coal situation being fine in every
way and the outlook for earnings superb.

The outlook is for continuance of this
kind OF market for the present. On the
careful people, but they will not grow
enthusiastic over the little advances and
purchase stocks on the top. The season,
the lack of public enthusiasm. the uncer-
tainty over the strike situation and the
corn crop, and the probability that the
monetary situation will not be favorable
to a bull campaign all will tend to make
the market dull and unimportant, during
the present month at least.
