u. S. NOTES AN APPEAL
In STEEL TRUST CASE
Government Says District Court Erred
in Not Holding Subsidiaries
TO Be Illegal.

The Department of Justice yesterday
filed with the United States District
Court at Trenton its notice of appeal in
the case of the Federal government
against the United States Steel Corpora
ton under the Sherman antitrust law,
which several nvhths ago was decided
by the court in favor OF the corpora
ton.
There has been some talk Of a pos
sibilIty of arguing the case about the
same time as the case against the So
called Harvester Trust, inasmuch as
both appeals involve somewhat similar
questions.
The Harvester Trust case has been
pending before the Supreme Court for
some time and a decision in 1t is ex-
pected to carry considerable significance
in regard to the courts attitude In the
Steel Corporation case. The Department
of Justice contended that the views al
vanced by the District Court in the Steel
Corporation case were directly at vari-
ance with the views expressed by an
other District Court In the Harvester
Trust case. II will, therefore. remain
for the United States Supreme Court to
decide which of these interpretations of
the Sherman law is sound.
The Government in the papers fled at
Trenton contends that the District Court
erred on the following grounds:
In failing and refusing to hold that
the American Tinplate Company Of New
Jersey, the American Steel and Wire
Company, the National Tube Company.
and certain other subsidiaries OF the
Steel Corporation were formed not in the
course Of normal business development
but as a device for suppressing competi-
ton in various steel products among the
competitive plants and businesses ac-
quired by them.
In failing and refusing to hold that
they had been used for that purpose
ever since their formation and that the
necessary effect of the continued con-
troll of said competitive plants and bust
nesses by said companies is a violation
OF the antitrust act"

Cuts Supply Of Eggs.

A lowered quotation on pork and a
scarcity of some vegetables were fea-
lures Of changes in food markets during
the week. Pork dropped one and two
cents a pound in retail markets, chops
especially being affected by the drop In
wholesale prices. Dealers attribute the
lower quotation to the harvesting OF
corn crops in the West.
Vegetables are becoming scarcer, espe-
cially sweet corn, which Is selling al nfty
cents for a dozen ears. No changes In
quotations because Of the scarcity have
resulted.
autumn's period OF frost is noticed IN
the arrival of pumpkins In produce mar
kets, the first supply being received this
week. The product is quoted at 3 to
30 cents each.
Dealers in eggs report a scarcity Of
hennery products. Cold weather, detri-
mental to hens laying, Is given as the
cause. 1t Is supposed the scarcity Is
merely the beginning of the condition
of markets during the winter, and that
egg, AT least, will get no cheaper"
The market SO far has held firm at 10
