no criterion. of the idea or desire OF the

want good ROADS and are willing 10

lack Of confidence in the present board

In fact the commissioners themselves
are not unit on the matter. Mr..

with the way matters are going. At

den activity which developed In the
pig iron market. little over fort
night ago, as q result Of sharp marking
down OF prices by the furnace men.
The steel men were rather mysterious
in their actsons to-day. convening at
the Railway Club ia the new Hudson
Terminal Building instead OF in the
office Of President Corey Of the United
States Steel Corporation. where the
previous conferences of the so-called
advisory committee, which represents
over 90 PER cent Of the country steel
output. were held.
Therefore. though il was known that
the steel manufacturers were in session
knowledge of their place of meeting
was carefully kept from dealers in
steel and stock market traders until
this evening. The conference ended
with dinner served in the Railway
Club.
Tuesday reduction in steel prices
came as surprise TO the lay
observers of steel markets rather than
TO the members OF the trade Certain
OF the producers at each of the four
preceding conferences held this year
were strongly in favor of cutting
prices. but permitted themselves to be
governed by the norgan-tiary policy
Of sustaining the market
When all the facts are known 1t will
probably be found that the policy Of
price maintenance has not been sup
ported by strong hopes that it could be
permanantlyadhered to but was adopted
as mid. season" policy for the pur-
pose of protecting 10 the fullest extent
such consumers as were engaged in
working up stock on hand purchased
at lats seasons high prices, with the
purpose also in view of giving consum
ers the benefit OF such concessions as
they were entitled TO when the proper
time for cutting prices should arrive
II mas been argued by the pig pro
ducers on each reaffirmation Of the old
schedule that conditions were such that
to cut prices would not encourage
heavy buying. So now 1t may be as
sumed, in the light of to-day's cut
that the steel manufacturers feel they
will get lot of new orders at the low
er prices named.
Some authorities on steel say they
expect TO see steel prices considerably
lower than the new schedule in force
before the end Of 1900.
