Iron and Steel ReUieu

Cleveland March D. Special )-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Washington holds the fixed attention of the whole iron and steel industry. An nouneement by the President of prices and conditions which will prevail from April 1 is awaited following conferences this week between new price fixing com mittee of war industries board and rep resentatives of iron and steel manufac- turers.
 Weight has been laid upon price in- equalities and practical defects of the system developed by several months op- erations under government regulations. This may bring about modification of existing methods and schedules. One change urgently sought ill the interest of greater stability is the extension of the period at the end of which prices again must come up for review. An other interesting development of the reg ulated price situation is the request for competitive bids by war department for 1000 kegs of wire nails Accompanying
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-22

the proposal is statement that $50 maximum price on nails is only recom- mended and has no presidential confirm ation. This position parallels that taken by the navy department when it was able recently to bring out competitive bids on certain lines below so-called of ficial levels.
 Two eastern consumers are bene- ficiaries of virtual communicating of additional 2s00o tons monthly of Con nellsville coke. The government has or dered prominent producer to ship these companies 100 per cent of their contracts in order to maintain their output of still making iron. This means that oth- CT eastern consumers of coke must be curtailed correspondingly. Apprehension among consumers as to pig iron supplies is spreading as their difficulties to cover are multiplied. Increasing difficulty to find open furnace space during the next several months for governmental loca- tions is resulting in virtual conscrip- tion of tonnage already booked. Indi- cations strongly point to steady growth of this condition with it's attendant com plications.

FTP. OLCOTT'S EXPERIENCE

About two years after the late Fred erick F. Olcott became president of the Central Trust company (soon to be con solidated with the Union Trust com pany), an acquaintance called upon hIm for the purpose of asking his advice. This acquaintance said that he had bor- rowed $200,000 from a man of capital and had given as security stock of the Standard Oil company. The loan was represented by four notes. each of S50- 000 but a single block of stock of the Standard Oil was given for security for the entire loan. Suddenly there came the panic of 1884 just at the time when the first of these notes fell due The borrower hoped that the lender would show lenity to him and allow him 10 renew the note. but he found that the lender although esteemed a personal friend, insisted upon the immediate pay ment of s50,000, and where was the money to be found?
 MT. Olcott, after considering the matter for a moment, said that the Central Trust company would take over the en- tire loan. But the lender was not will ing that this be done. He would not transfer the loan to the trust company He insisted upon the payment of the s50,000 note or else keeping the Standard
