WON'T CANCEL ORDERS.
steel Corporation May Postpone Same,
But That's All.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 16.--The Unitet
States Steel Corporation has served
notices on all those who have set
about to cancel orders for iron or steel
work that such cancellations will not
be accepted, that In certain cases they
may be considered purely as postpone
ments, but under no consideration will
cancellations be allowed.
Official notice to this effect was re-
ceived in Pittsburg today from the
New York office and created much sat
isfactory comment In business circles,
where it was taken as a master move
on the part of the corporation TO check
a feeling that financial conditions are
to remain as bad as they were.
The firm grip taken by the corpora
ton on the situation, assuming that
the present troubles will last but a
few days. and that customers should
not be allowed to lose their places on
the order books. will, it is thought, do
much to strengthen the situation.
