CUNARD co. TO BUILD
ANOTHER BIG LINER.

LIVERPOOL, April 21-Alfred A.
Booth, chairman of the beard of di-
rectors of the Cunard Steamship COM
pany, announced at the annual meet
ing today that the line was planning
for another great steamer to take Its
place beside the Mauretaria and Lusi-
tania in the Liverpool-New York serv-
ice, and that tenders already have been
invited for the construction of another
vessel of the Franconia type. This is
official confirmation of earlier reports
regarding the company's plans.
The new vessel of the Franconia type
Will be added to the Boston service. Mr..
Booth said that the relations between
the North Atlantic lines was most
friendly. He regretted that the Cunard
Company had found it absolutely nee
essary to omit the call at Queenstown
of east-bound mail steamers.
The chairfan complained of the fact
that the British postal authorities in
sisted upon the company's losing six
or sever hours while awaiting for the
mails at Queenstown and so prevented
the regular landing of their passengers
in New York on Thursday evenings.
He thought that the postal people at
tached undue Importance to late post
ing on Saturday in London, and ig-
nored the immense advantage of an
early delivery in New York.

BERLIN, April 2L-The ~so-called

pooled for investment by Prince Egon
Won Fuerstenberg and Prince Hohen-

The princes voted 81. 500, 900 Of the
stock against s1,125, 900 represented by
the S. Bleichroeder banking house,
which had held a controlling influence
in the company for many years. 1t is

pairing to obtain control of the surface

Since they began operations together
iii 1907 the Princes nave invested some
thing like $50, 600. 600 in city building
lands and transportation companies,

IRON AND STEEL. MARKET
IS GENERALLY QUIET.
Buyers Show Hesitancy in PlaC-
ing New Business.

CLEVELAND. O., April 21.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
Buyers are showing more hesitancy
in placing new business. The iron and
steel market generally is quiet and
there is evidence of some disappoint-
ment in certain lines, including pipe,
wire products and bar iron. There has
been a good movement in finished lines
SO farSthis year, but during the last
ten days there has been a noticeable
falling off in new bookings.
Makers of plates report heavy specifi-
cations against contracts, although
there is little new business coming out.
The sheet and tin-plate emarket con-
tinues to be one of thes most active
in the trade, but there Is cutting in
sheets. Lower quotations are being
made on Bessemer billets and sheet
bars Open hearth semi-finished steel
is commanding high prices. Demand
for merchant bars is heavy, and several
large sales are noted. The bar iron
market is weak. and prices are irregu-
lar. Some fairly good business in struc-
tural lines is coming out.

COTTON TRADERS CALLED
BEFORE GRAND JURY TODAY.

ers who are supposed TO know some
thing of the bull pool said to have been
formed several months ago went to the

the grand jury. The jury vas too
busy with other matters yesterday TO

One of the witnesses is said to have
admitted that he has a copy of the bull
pool agreement on which is based the
governments case against William P.
Brown, Frank B. Hayne and other
leaders of the bull movement, and that
he would produce it before the grand
jury.
Clark McKercher, assistant attorney
general, who was sent here from Wash

cation, said he had nc idea Show long
the grand jury proceedings would take.
