STEEL WAR NEARING END.
SETTLEMENT SOON-wHAT JOHN
W. GATES SAYS.

/ Persistent rumors Of approaching harmony ne
| tween the Carnegie company and other big steel
/ companies were current yesterday. Trust
/ worthy information received from various
/ quarters to the effect that the ruinous war
which two weeks ago was reported in some
quarters to be close at hand had been aVer'ed'
The consensus of opinion among steel officials
and bankers generally yesterday was that be-
fore many days there would be a peaceful settle
ment of the intercorporation quarrels. on the
basis Of Federal Steel control of the Carnegie
interests. Acting upon this theory buyers sent
in large orders for steel stocks during the day
In consequence these stocks showed exceptional
strength American Steel and Wire common
closed at AZ. a gain of Is. the preferred ad-
vancing 212 points Steel Hoop common gained
. points and National Steel common advanced
3ss while National Tube common closed at 641a
netting an advance of 3la. and $1,000 shares Of
Federal steel were sold the stocks closing at
469s and 75L.
John w. Gates accounts for the strength Of
the Steel and Wire issues by saying that the
company is now in a very prosperous condition
Investors know that we are in a sound
financial state" he said last night at the Wal

abruptly:
What agreement? Certainly not between the

the more recent story that Mr.. Morgan Is carry

competitive influence of the Carnegie plant
know absolutely nothing about that. But
don't think Mr.. Carnegie has any intention OF
lighting the National Tube or the Sheet
Steel Company. Personally don't believe that
actual. or even a tentative agreement be-
tween the Federal and Carnegie companies is
under contemplation. Steel and iron interests
are in closer harmony than heretofore. That is
pretty well proved by recent events II YOU wish
to know for certain whether actual negotiations
are now in progress looking 70 the control or
purchase Of the Carnegie Steel Company by Mr..
Morgan you must. of necessity, talk with the
principals concerned.
