NO INCUMBRANCES
Creditors Approve the Wire Company Sale as
 Arranged.

A meeting of the creditors of the National Wire corporation was held with Referee Newton in his office yes- terday afternoon for the ratification of the arrangement of the sale to the United States Steel company. The question which was settled by the meeting was whether the sale should be made for the sum of $e50,ooo, as agreed, and the entire property to be transferred free of incumbrance, or not. This was decided in the afflrma- tive.
 No action was taken on the mort gage rights of the creditors, these subjects to be considered at meetings to be held later
