1t Is said on authority that seems un.
improbable that the coal strike will end
next week. One of the most importan,
operators in Pennsylvania says that al
the conference of coal presidents on
Tuesday certain terms were agreed upon
which P. A. B. Widener was authorized
To make known to Governor Stone, and
the latter has communicated the offer to
Mitchell It understood that individ-
ual operators who have become hard
pressed as result of the protracted
conflict. have made a. demand on the
hard coal road presidents to do some
thing that will save them from financial
ruin. The new terms will, be better than
those offered to Mitchell by Governor
Stone at harrisburg last Saturday. The
strikers are weakening, but the coal
companies probably are too hard pressed
TO be able to Withstand four or five
weeks more, of the struggle.

UNITED STATES STEEL

a director of United States Steel says:
While no definite action has yet been
taken, 1t is reasonably safe to say that
the price Of finished iron and steel will
not be changed materially during 1903.
The price of rails has already been placed
at SIS per ton, and while much higher
prices could be obtained in many lines.
we believe it best to maintain conserta-
tive policy and to keep the market with
IN bounds The prices for raw mate
rial have advanced but we are doing our
utmost to eliminate all speculation in the
finished steel market, and If our Gus
toners know at what prices material can
be obtained the demand will be stable
We control our pig iron. and for that
reason we have a marked advantage.
We can turn out steel rails between s1l
and SIS per ton, and, although rails could
command as high as s32 per ton. we refuse
to ask over s2s. A steady demand is
what we want, and a, market without
violent fluctuations is what the consumer
wants"
