THE NEW YEAR LOOKS HOPEFUL
 SAYS WILLIAM E. COREY,
Retiring President of U. s. Steel Cor
 poration-His Future Undecided.

Pittsburg. Jan. 8.-The New Year looks hopeful and business at present is encouraging, but at this early date it would be impossible to give more than casual forecast of the prospects for 1911.
 This was the statement made by William F. Corey, the retiring presi- dent of the United States Steel cor poration, after the annual dinner of the Carnegie Steel company operating officials at the Duquesne club last night.
 As to the future, he said he had made no plans. It was too early as yet. He also said his duties as presi- dent, while supposedly ending with the close of the fiscal year of the corpora tion, might end sooner. He did not yet know what would be decided.
 You will not return to live in Pitts burg, will you?' he was asked.
 No, I guess not" he replied, smiI- ing. T like New York. It's a, health full place to live in, and my business interests are there. However, I like Pittsburg pretty well, too.
