 ment From Washington

New York, october 1.-The announce ment in Washington by Attorney General Gregory that the department of justice would scrutinize closely any attempt to organize combination of independent steel companies aroused the greatest in terest today in financial and steel circles, as the statement follows closely the am nouncement of the organization of the Midvale Steel and Ordnance company, a $lOO, 900 corporation which has brought together four concerns
 At the same time negotiations are pend ing for q combination between the Bethle- hem Steel corporation and the Pennsyl- vania Steel company. which may become the nucleus for another combination equal to, and possibly larger than the Midyale merger. Insistent rumors are In circulation that both these combinations have still more ambitious plans. Neither of them, it was pointed out, today, either alone or together. would approximate the size of the United States Steel. corpora ton. unless several other large steel com panies. which have not been mentioned as possible components were to be in- cluded, such as the Republic Iron and Steel company and the Jones x Loughlin Co,

The public apparently was in the market. veteran observers said, to an extent undreamed of before in the his- tory of the stock exchange. Not New York so much as the entire country. they thought, was responsible. commis- sion houses whose clients mostly are In western and middle western cities In 20 states were deluged with buy ing orders. All America appeared to have thrown it's purse into the stock markft and for the first time in years neither the bulls nor the bears. but the so-called lambs, set the values.
 From 20 to 90 commission houses, busy executing orders originating, for the most part, in the vest and middle west were the busiest of the stock exchange members. They dealt almost exclusively in speculative favorites. Dealings in the chief speculative stocks tell the story:
 American Car and Foundry. ranging from S0A to S4, 14,600 shares; Ana conda, from 721R to 75ss, 56,000 shares Baldwin Locomotive, from 1101a to IT, 20, 900 shares: Bethlehem Steel from 409 to 450 $500 shares, Colorado Fuel and Iron. from 52A to b6B, 44.200 shares: crucible Steel. from S5h to 93A. 39.300 shares: Inspiration Copper from 457s to 47le. 100000 shares; Pittsburg Coal from 37a to 4oA, i2,- 200 shares; United States Steel. from house from 12S4 to 134%. 156. 400 snares; and Wyllisoverland from 236 to 2391a, 101,20O shares.

.CARRANzA ID BE RECOGNIZED BY THEU.S. SHORTLY Formal Action Will Prob ably Re Taken Within
 the Next Few
 Weeks

Washington. October 7.-Reeognition of the Carranza government in Mex leo, it was learned in official circles today. is likely to be accorded by the
 United States within the next few weeks.
 Data submitted by the revolutionary factions Is being considered now, and next Saturday another conference ot by Secretary Lansing, will be held. IL is generally believed that the intention of the United States with respect to recognition will be communicated by diplomats here to their government sc that action may be taken by other na- tions at the same time.
 Although 1t is possible that the dis cussion may not be terminated at Sat urdays meeting, and another may be held next week, the general belief is that some announcement eventually will be made by the conference stat ing which faction should be recognized
 Some diplomats are said to believe that no faction has met the standard of material and moral capacity set for an established government, and ad wise continuance of the policy Of waiting. Officials of the Washington government. however. are understood to believe that such a course would only add to the chaos Tn Mexico.
 Within the last few days the Car ranza authorities have transmitted to the American. government statements which conform to consular reports showing that the Carranza forces have achieved military supremacy in Mex leo, in controlling most of the states and the large cities. General Carranza has transmitted guarantees that the lives and property of foreigners will be given protection In accordance witl international law and treaty obliga tions; that amnesty will be granted soon after the central government il established to all who have fought hin except those guilty of complicity 1T the plot that overthrow Madero, or o. civil crimes, and that religious free dom will be permitted. These assur ances, 1t is thought, in official guar ters, cover the requirements of mora capacity and that unless some de lvelopment arises to complicate the sit uation, extension of recognition to Car ranza by the American government it almost certain. st General Carranza within few day. will take a trip from Vera Cruz t, Tampico aboard one of the Mexican gunboats, and then will tour the va | lrious cities and towns in northern Mex lico. so that on bis arrival in Mexico City at the completion of his trip O I.three or four weeks he will have famil l iarized himself with affairs in man, parts of the republic.
