BIG CAPITALISTS ARE
INTERESTED IN MIDVALE
William Ellis Corey Will Head Cor
poration. Say Financiers in Close
Touch with Steel Affairs.

Philadelphia, Feb. S-Some of the
foremost capitalists and promoters of
industrial corporations in the country
are interested in the formation of a
si50.O0o,0oo steel corporation, with
headquarters in this city, which will
be the outcome of the purchase of the
Cambria Steel Company by the Mid
vale Steel and Ordnance Company
Financiers in touch with the steel
situation said today that the affairs
OF the new company would be directed
from the present offices of the MID
vale Company in this city. and that
there was no doubt that william Ellis
Corey would be made president Of the
consolidated corporations. and that
the reorganized Midvale Company
would enter every branch of the steel
business.
There was a report current that
several big steel orders totaling mil
lions had been received from the Ger
man government for delivery after the
war. Officials of the company, how
ever, refused to discuss any future
orders.
Until something definite can be an
nounced, the prospective owners of
Cambria steel would not speak Of
their plans today. except to say THAI
settlement for the stock would be
made through Dre1el & Co Febru-
ary 23.
