series OF concerts In the village, should
the merchants and others purchase

there was no move among the citizens.
Finally about a month ago the Crompton
company offered not only 10 furnish
location but 20 build a stand as well. The
bandstand was not accepted by the band
however and as result IL was not built.
Naturally there was no concerts. without
the stand and the band has now decided
that It is too late in the season to begin
the concerts. and so the matter Of con-
certs Is declared off.

STEEL TRUST
MAKESB BIG
REDUCTION

New York. Aug. 1s-what Wall Street
takes to be the opening shot in great
trade war was fired yesterday by the
announced drastic cuts In all wire pro-
ducts.
According 10 Pittsburg advices. these
cuts range from IS to s12 per ton. accord
ing to grade, but the information which
reached the local steel men put the price
reduction somewhat lower. According 10
them the price of bsrbed wire has been
reduced 81 ton. plain wire IS a ton and
nails 81 a ton.
The war which has thus commenced is
a direct result OF the Republic Iron and
Steel company having made a contract
a few days ago for the conversion for
the Pittsburg Steel company Of 10000
tons OF Bessemer pig iron into steel bill
lets at a rate to bring the cost OF the
billets "a ton under the regular pool
price for billets OF s23.
All the other companies in the Billet
association, which is the formal name
for the steel billet pool. have been an
gered by the action Of the Republic COM
pany.
The United States Steel corpora tion
has been particularly interested In the
matter. because II is the biggest manu-
facturer OF steel products in the country.
There have been rumors for week that
in some way the matter was to be dxed
up. and that no decentralization In the
trade would ensue.
Rumors which spread through Wall
street yesterday had 1t that the trade war
would not be confined 20 wire PRODUCTS
alone but would extend 50 as TO take
In practically the entire steel field, rails
only excepted.
The normal output yearly OF wire pro
duts by the steel corporation is about
1000. 900 tons. so that yesterdays reduc-
tion can be figured as cutting down the
gross income of the subsidiary companies
OF the corporation which manufacture
this class OF product all the way from
81 90 900 to $1,000. 600 a year
Wire products include cut nails, barbed
wire and meshing and wire nails. The
quotation for wire nails, Z. o. b. Pitts
burg, yesterday was $50 to sl.s5 a hun
dred pounds.
