Steel Mergers

NEW YORK, Oct. THE announce
ment in Washington by Attorney Gen
eral Gregory that the department of
justice would closely scrutinize any at
tempt TO organize a combination of in
dependent steel companies aroused
the greatest interest today in financial
and steel circles, inasmuch a. the
statement follows closely upon the an,
nounncement of the organization of

pany, $i0O.OO0.000 corporation which
mas brought together four concerns.
AT the same time negotiations are
pending for a combination between the
Bethlehem Steel corporation and the
Pennsylvania Steel company. which
may become the nucleus for another
combination equal to and possibly
larger than the Midvale merger and
insistent rumoTs are in circulation
that both these combinations have stilI
more ambitious plans. Neither of
them II was pointed out today. either
alone or together would approximate
the size of the United States Steel cor.
poration unless several other large
steel companies which have not been
mentioned as possible components
were TO be included. such as the Re
public Iron and Steel company and the
Jones and Laughlin company.
None Of the companies now in the
Midvale combination is a competing

however. expressed the opinion that

LONDON, Oct. Z. 1880 p. m.-The
long-threatened Austro-German offen-
sive in the Balkans. with the assist
ance of Bulgaria. has begun in earnest.
Almost simultaneous with the rupture
OF diplomatic relations between Sofia
and the entente powers. an Austro-
German army estimated at 400 900
men, With an enormous weight of
heavy artillery. started to attack Ser
via from the north and west. and, ac-
cording to the Berlin Official report,
crossed the Drina, and Danube and
save rivers at many points and firmly
established itself on the Servian side.
The Anglo-French troops, which
were landed Al Saloniki with the tacit
consent OF the Greek government, are
being hurried northward to assist Ser
via. and. IL possible. keep the Bulga.
rians from capturing the Saloniki-
Nish railway. the only source by
which the Servians can be furnished
with munitions of war.

has not been forthcoming, King Con

nations at the same time.
