MERGER OF GREAT INTERESTS.

Morgan, Carnegie and Gates to Unto Iron

New York, Feb. S.-There is good all-
thority for the statement that negotia-
lions have been entered into by j.
Piermont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie
and John w. Gates, the object of
which is Il merge of the iron and steel
interests controlled by these men into
II great company to be directed by
substantially the present management
ofs the. Federal Steel company. There
is reason to believe that Mr.. Carnegie.
who is not so young as he once was.
desires to put more of his eggs into
II basket h he has at present,
n has informed Mr.. Morgan that
the Carnegie holdings in the Carnegie
Steel company, limited, may be ac-
CURED If a price can be agreed upon.
Mr.. Gates, president of the American
Steel n Wire company. was quoted
the other day from Chicago rs saying
that it would not be unnatural il d
combination should be effected be-
tween his company and the Fedora
New York. Persons in a position to
know said that Mr.. Morgan had u
conference with both Mr.. Carnegie and
Mr.. Gates.
Not long ago Mr.. Carnegie offered to
sell his holdings in the Carnegie Steel
company. limited. to his partner,
Henry C. Frick. He did not sell. The
uson given was that Mr.. Erick vas
unable to carry u his part of the
contract. MIR. Morgan is in a different
position.
The Federal Steel company has
been regarded as a Rockefeller Nor
gan company. Its authorized issue of
common stock is 500, 900. 900. The Car
negie Steel company's capital is $780,
900, 900, with a bond issue of $160. 900, 600.
The capital stock of the American
Steel and Wire company is 500, 000, 900.
1t seems it will take a considerable
sum of money to DC able to merge
these three companies. In that event
the Standard Oil people would be in
control of the steel and iron industry
IF the United States.
