The st. Paul situation is still in doubt
but many believe that for the present the
deal is off. II is said by these people
that the Hill interests are anxious to Sc
cure control OF the st. Paul. but that up
to the present time they have not been
willing to offer satisfactory terms One
story is to the effect that the recent I'M
mense advance in the price of the stock
has disinclined the insiders TO sell at the
Hill figure. The outlook for the stock is
not in the least discouraging, however.
The deal will be made at some future
time. even If the talk of its being of

A third excellent reason for cheerful
ness regarding the future OF Steel and
Wire securities as we'll as those of the
other steel companies is in the probability
that there win be nosfght between the
Carnegies and The other companies, the
rpmor yesterday in good quarters being
that an agreement has been reached 1t
is said that as result there would be
no cutting OF rates and no aggressive
competition such as has been threatened.
Presidents Charles NJ Schwab, Of the Car
negie Steel Company. arrived in New York
there to confer with some of the officers
of other big steel companies regarding
the agreement upon which they had de-
cided. A despatch from Pittsburg says
that the Carnegie Steel Company has ar
ranged 10 furnish $1,000. 900 worth of steel
bars to the American Sheet Steel Com
pany every year for FIVE years, and that
in return for this big order, the Carnegie
Company has consented to abandon its
plans for the erection of q s.. 00G, 0oG plant
for The production OF sheet steel at Du-
quesne. Another agreement, the despatch
says. has been entered into with the Ma
tional Tube Company, which will end in
the abandonment by the Carnegie Steel
Company of its project looking toward
the erection of a si2 ,000, 900 steel plant

principally for the production OF tubing
of different kinds and in operation would
