LITTLE EFFECT on STEEL E1RyTyGS

1t has been urged I'm some quarters that no exact
comparison OF the earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation for the last six months can be
made with those OF the preceding period. because
the Shelby Tube Company not taken over
until June 1901 1t was said yesterday. however on
excellent authority that the actual net earnings
of the Shelby works for the six months ended
June 20 were only little 100000 which
amount represents only small fraction of the total
net earnings of the United States Steel CORPORATION
for that period
IT developed yesterday that Mrs Miriam Berger
who has secured injunction restraining the
United states Steel Corporation from carrying into
execution It's plan of retiring $500 of the pre
IeTred STOCK ana issuing $4,000 000 of bonds is

about 10000 900 of 1t could delivered to them dur

bushels long of July at the end of July. But
he was of the opinion that the handling OF the

for cash would cost Harris. Gates & co. about as
much they could make the 100000 bushels
which could be delivered. He also said he
thought the squeeze might result in driving some
small commission brokers to the wall.
No representative Of the firm of Harris. Gates &
