With Capitalization of 81, ,1OO,OOO,OOO.

WIN capitalization OF 81, 1OO,OOO,OOO.
New York, Feb. 25.-The Herald
says: j. z. Morgan has just completed
the project by which another and the
greatest consolidation of capital is
added to the notable list of the last
ten years. The steel combination plan
was consummated ut conference in
his office Saturday and the news was
the topic of half the conversation in
the corridors of some of the uptown
hotels. An official announcement may
be expected today from the office of
j. Z. Morgan q Co. to the effect that
the Carnegie company. the Federal
Steel company, the National Tube com
pany, the American Steel and Wire
company. the American Tin Plate com
pany, the National Steel company, the
American Steel Hoop company and
the American Sheet Steel company
are to be combined in one concern,
which is to issue it's stock in return
for theirs. the valuation having been
determined upon the assets and the
earning power of the respective corpor-
ationS thus merged This new COM
bination, it is understood. will be called
the United States Consolidated Steel
company. 1t will have a total capital
ization of 81 1OOOOO,oOO.
The Lake Superior consolidated iron
mines, the Rockefeller iron ore proper
ties, including the Mesaba range,
which passed a few days ago to the
Morgan combination. will not go i'm
mediately into the new United States
Consolidated Steel company. 1t is
thought quite likely that the Lake Su-
perior concern may be turned over to
the great combination at later date.
All of the persons directly interested
in the Carnegie Morgan steel deal
seemed greatly pleased over the sue
cessful termination of their labors.

toward Point Bonita. All went well
