Judge Gary Gives Some De-
tails of an Immense FL
nanciaI Transaction.

Gary, chairman of the board of direct
ors of the United States Steel corpora
ton, gave out a statement today in re-
gard to the syndicate contract for the

ing that no further conversion of pre-
ferred stock beyond the amount Of

ready converted, would be, made and
that the syndicate CONTRACT would be
terminated at this fig:sre. Already
$146, $685. worth of bon.Es have been
issued in exchange for, stock George
W. Perkins, Off. P. Morgan & Co., said
that there was no truth in the report
that new syndicate was to be formed
to take care of the uneonverted stock.
Mr. Gary's statement says:
"Tf1e matter now stands as follows:
"One hundred and forty-six million
four hundred and eighty eight thousand
flve hundred dollars of bonds have al
ready been issued in exchange for
stock received and Cancelled.
"Three million six hundred and elev-

was paid to the corporation Oct. l and
which will be issued whenever; the re-
naming rs per cent shall be called for
and paid.
Making total issue of $170,000,-

remaining available for exchange for
preferred stock will be held subject to
the exclusive right of the corporation
itself to deal with from time to time as
the board of directors may see f1t."
Denial was made by a high official OF
the report that q new syndicate was
to be formed to take over the United

tions. The existing syndicate, 1t was
added by this authority, will continue
until 1t expires by limitation in July,
1904. This syndicate 1t was explained,
has simply released to the United

itary and hospital supplies at small
fraction of their market value. Several
X-ray machines, costing the govern
ment $1,000, were sold at 50.
