QUESTION OF PRICES
HALTS STEEL TRADE
Effort Being Made to Adjust
Situation So That Business
May Proceed

New York. April PA number of
steps were taken during the last week
in an effort to eliminate the conditions
created by the action of Director Gen
eral of Railroads Hines in rejecting the
prices agreed upon for steel rails. but
up to the time of writing no definite
information was obtainable as to what
the prospects for settlement actually
are.
What is believed to have been the
most important step was the conference
between Judge f. Fl. Gary. James A.
Farrell. Charles NJ. Schwab. Eugene G,
Grace. John A. Topping. W. B. Dick
son and one or two other steel men
with r. S. Lovett. II. r. Spencer and
Henry Walters, representing the rail
road administration.
This meeting was held at the invita-
ton of George n. Peek, chairman of
the industrial board of the Department
of Commerce, who apparently is as anx-
ious as any one to have the situation
adjusted so that business in this coun-
try can go ahead uninterruptedly and
who has apparently failed in his many
efforts to adjust matters.
While only a most meager statement
was made after the meeting. saying that
the steel and railroad men had dis
cussed producing costs of materials re-
quired by the railroads and that the
federal representatives would report the
information obtained to Director Gen
eral Hines, it is learned in some quar-
ters that the steel men must have made
good impression with their argu-
ments.
There is no doubt that the cost of pro
ducing steel rates. for instance, averages
higher for all companies than the prices
agreed upon, and it is believed consid
erable stress was laid on this point
Another argument most likely used was
that rails could not be sold cheaper un
less there was a radical readjustment
of the present wage scale, and it Ii
known that the powers at Washing
ton are anxious to keep the pay of thu
workers unchanged at least for the tim,
being.
While there is no way of knowing
what might develop, it is signifcan
that there are many observers who ex
pect Mr.. Hines to back down from til,
! position he has taken. They argue thai
this can be done with grace after tn,
cost of sheets and other data are sub
mitted to him, and 1t is hoped that b,
will do so shortly, in order to agar
stimulate the demand from reguia,
consumers.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

New York. April 12.-The foreign
exchange market was listless today. and
showed heavy tone. Some of the
larger operators in exchange expressed
the opinion that still lower quotations
were likely. particularly in Italian ex =
change. Sterling and francs were close
to the lowest of the week, but bust
ness was at minimum.
~Quotations were:
Demand sterling 4.65. cables 4.66.

Fact ana rumor combined to keep
alive such interest as there was in out

either Secretary Redheld or Director
General Hines would resign as a short
way of cutting the Gordian knot of the

would seem to hinge on the way the
President decided the controversy. which
