worse that they really cannot be quoted
It was not a heavy snow, but just that
wet, mean kind that makes a fellows feet

The mercury, which had stood at As at
10 o'clock in the morning. fell steadily,
until at 10 O'Clock in the evening it was

TRENTON, N. j., March 26.-ArtIcles OF
merger were filed in the ONCE OF the

American Steel Hoop company, National

capital OF the old companies amounted to

w. w. Blackburn and Thomas Murray.
The officers of the company are W. E.

VIII simplify Operation.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March 2e.-The only
explanation offered in Pittsburg for the
filing Of articles for merger at Trenton
today by subsidiary companies of the
United States Steel corporation Is that the
latter is about to carry out its plan Of
merging all its constituent companies,
practically abolishing the subdivisions Of
the general corporation, and having the
parent concern become the operating, as
we'll as the stockholding concern.
This plan will do away with the individ-
ual organizations, such as the Carnegie
Steel company the American Sheet Steel
company, the American Tin Plate COM
pany, the National Tube company, the
Federal Steel company, the American
Bridge company and all underlying con-
Germs operated separately.
It will also simplify matters considerably,
and by arranging them as departments OF
the general corporation there will be prac-
tically no change in methods. while tre-
mendous saving in capitalization tax will
follow.
At present the United States Steel cor
poration pays a tax In New Jersey on Its
general capital, while each Of the under
| lying companies pays a tax on its indi-
vidual capital, although Il Is represented
in the general capital Of the corporation.
In other words. the corporation is paying
taxes twice on its capitalization.
The officers OF the new corporation are all
onicials Of the Carnegie company.
bigger Merger Not Considered.
| NEW YORK, March 2s.-Elbert H. Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel cor
poration and a director Of the newly In
corporated National Steel company, says
the question of merging all or some of the
other constituent companies has not yet
been considered. The merger Of the COM
panies. as reported today he adds, were
decided upon some months ago and was
made for the sole purpose Of promoting
economical administration.
The outstanding shares Of the three
merged companies, preferred or common
are to be exchangeable or convertible into
stock Of the consolidated corporation at the
rate of one-quarter share Of the consol-
idated corporation for every share of the
merged companies.

BRoATcH REVoKES HIS ORDER
Notifies Twelve Saloon Keepers that
They Need Not Close Next
Sunday.

The Broatch order, which closed twelve
saloons of Omaha last Sunday, has been
withdrawn. and once more here is no dis
elimination as to the days off between the
drink dispensers of the city so far as the
board is concerned. Patrolmen from the
police station were sent around yesterday
to notify all persons interested in the
dozen saloons that they would be per-
mitted to run as heretofore next Sunday
without police interference.
Now that the tempest in the teapot is
over and Mr. Broatch has shown his power
it is not uninteresting to know that the
order on which the saloons were closed last
Sunday never came up before the board for
formal action. and that so far as the board
is concerned the order was the work OF
one man-that man presumably the acting
chairman.

IL Intended TO Provide Basis for In-
creasinE Circulation in Case of
strinEeBcy in the Money
Market.

WASHINGTON, March 36.-The secretary
OF the treasury today published q circular
announcing on and after April /, 1903, he
will receive for refunding under authority
Of section IL, Of the act OF March IL, 1900.

issued under the act OF March IA. 1900.
These per cent bonds were issued in 1900
at par under provisions OF the refunding
act. II the new bonds we're to be issued
now at par there would be q profit to the
owners of the bonds, taking the present
market valuation as a basis, of about 4

dered. and about 1-2 per cent for the
fours OF 1908.

able share of this profit tor the govern
ment, which is the reason for charging a
premium Of 2 per cent under the new bonds
to be issued.

for the guidance Of those who desire to
avail themselves Of the privilege Of refund
ing and will be sent to each owner OF
registered bonds Of the two loans in ques>
tion.
The s per cent bonds of 1904 will not be
received for refund under this circular, but
will be reserved for redemption. They ma
ture February 1, 1904. The secretary stated
in explanation Of his action that lie de-
sired to put out larger amount OF per
cents. which would be available to increase
circulation in case Of stringency.
NEW YORK. March 26.--The offer of Sec
retary Shaw seemed to come as 9 surprise
to bond brokers. some OF whom professed
70 b unable 70 understand its scope or pur-
port. 1t was generally looked upon as an
emergency or relief measure. inasmuch az
the offer will release from IS 200, 900 tc
ss.000,ooo, the amount depending entirely
upon the proportion Of 3s or As turned in.
One broker thought the proposition wal
designed to induce banks to increase theiI
circulation. Nobody could trace any con-
nection between the offer and the coming
Panama canal payment.
