The Price of steel Comm on.

After the meeting OF the finance COM
mittee OF the United States Steel Corpo-
ration yesterday afternoon 1t was stated
that there would be no announcement as
to the price at which employees would
be offered 10000 shares of the company
stock Judge Gary said that there
might be am announcement Friday.
Most of the selling that forced steel
common down below 80 yesterday was
Cue to the disappointment of the day
before, when some persons in the specu-
lative district had expected the price to
employees would be announced. Some
traders believed that price would be
very low and followed up their belief
with heavy short selling. The delay In
the announcement has given rise 10
every type of conjecture as to the rea-
son, but conservative men gave voice to
the opinion that the price to employees
would depend entirely on the average
cost of the stock TO the corporation. II
was recalled that it had been the Gus

trade with Japan proper consisted almost
exclusively OF raw cotton and manufac-
tured articles of iron and steel. whereas
with its leased territory In China the
growth lay especially in the purchase OF
boots and shoes. one OF the important

The Sinclair Oil and Refining Copora-
ton has acquired the outstanding half
interest in the Garfield Oil properties in
the so-c3lled CARRIER field OF Oklahoma.
The deal is for more than 10000 acres
Of oil leases, representing gross daily
production OF about 1900 barrels Of
crude oil. which brings a premium of
sl.75 barrel more than the price Of
ether midcontiucnt crudes. On these
holdings there are now sixty producing
oil wells. so placed as TO define 1000 or
1000 acres OF the 10000. which means
that In the part Of the pool already de-
fined there Is room for more than 1000
wells Az the holdings of such COM
pauies as the Prairie, Carter and Co.'S
den are relatively small. the deal, with
the half interest already owned. makes
the CARRIER field virtually Sinclair

by the company, includes no financing.

HUNGAR|ANS
GOING TO BERLIN
To Make Treaty With Germans
Against Allies. Commun-
lists and Their Plan
FOR DIVIDING PROPERTY

Budapest, April 1.-The Hunga-
tion to Berlin to conclude a treaty
of alliance against the Entente Al
lies. German officers formerly be-
longing to Field Marshal Macken-
sens army have arrived in Buda-
pest to reorganize the Hungarian
army along German lines. The ar
my now numbers one hundred thou
sand men.
Budapest, via Vienna The
plunge of Budapest into anti-capi-
talism continues with feverish eff
forts to show that the reign of law
and order is undisturbed. The city
is outwardly quiet since the first
few days in which there was much
looting, especially of jewelry shops.
AS a result of the looting, 1t is re-
ported, $50 persons were executed
by the new regime, their communis-
tic ideas apparently being too vio-
lent.
The new freedom exists for those
who are willing to live as the gov
ernment dictates. Two important
newspapers, the Poster Lloyd and
the Azest, print only what the CEN
sor permits. Foreign correspond
ents may transit by telegraph If
they write what is desired by the
government.
Czech troops who have been fight
ing the communists in Southern
Slovakia have captured the city of
Kanchau, 140 miles northeast Of
Budapest, and other points. The
German colonists in Western Hun
gary and Pennsylvania are hostile to
the communists and are attempting
to establish their independence
The French troops at Szegedin,
is said, are permitting the commun-
lists to establish themselves in con-
troll as they wish, despite the fact
| that there were riots in small in
| dustria1 centers where the commun-
lists held organized parades after
fashion set in Budapest.
Those entering the the country
may leave only by the personal per-
| mission of Bella Kun, foreign min
lister has acknowledged in an in

does not desire to make war on the
entente at present, but asserts that
