operations more fully.
There was demand from bag manu-

A small amount OF brown goods busi-

FRELINGHUYSEN WORKS
FOR COAL REGULATION

He Offers NeW One.
Special Despatch to The NEW fonK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., May IA.

Two moves toward Federal regulation
OF the coal industry were taken On tho
Senate to-day. The Interstate Com
merce Committee favorably reported the
sill OF Senator Frelinghuysen On. Jo.
permitting seasonal rates to be enforced
in the summer months TO stimulate
production In idle transportation pc
iods.
Senator Frelinghuysen introduced an
other bill. under which the industry, IN
cluding production and Distribution
could be regulated jointly by the De-
oa art,,,ant OF Commerce and tho Bureau

sta bilize the coal business. avert coal

NEW BANK MERGER
BEING DISCUSSED
Metropolitan Trust and U. S.
Mortgage and Trust Re-
ported in Project.

Informal discussions between the
dominating interests in the Metropolitan
Trust Company and the controlling in
terests in the United States Mortgage
and Trust Company looking toward the
merger of the two institutions have
reached the point at which considers
tion by the directors of the two trust
companies is imminent. Several weeks
ago there was a report that the two
institutions would be merged. but at that
time there had been no consideration OF
the subject. Active conversations, how
ever, took place during the last week,
and a presentation OF the problem to the
directors of the Metropolitan company
may be made at their next meeting,
scheduled for Wednesday. II action be
not taken then special meeting is
probable.
No official OF either institution who
was available yesterday would discuss
the subject OF the proposed merger eX-
cept to say that the question had not
come before the executive committees or
either institution. Elsewhere 1t was
ascertained that the principal stockhold-
ing interest in the Metropolitan company
and Harold /. Pratt. its president, had
devoted considerable time to the pro-
posed merger during the last week.
SO far as capital surplus and un-
divided profits are concerned the insti-
tutions are not so very far apart, as
each has capital OF S2,000,00o. The
United States company possesses surplus
and undivided profits of s5,0S3,50o as
of February 2S, which was its last state
ment Gay, and the Metropolitan S3,43s,-
700 surplus and undivided profits as OF
that date. without taking account OF
assets. According TO last
bank statement other impor-
tant items compare as follows:

STEEL PRODUCTION
0NE-THIRD CAPACITY
Hand to Mouth Buying Is Fea-
ture, With No New Lines
Of Consumption.
PIG IRON DROPS SLOWLY
Recent Price Scales Never
Really Tested With an Order
Of Good Proportions.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD
PITTSBURGH. May 14.-Whiis the
United States Steel Corporation has
been operating at somewhat better
rate than the Independents. the advan-
tage is not so much as formerly. Pro-
duction Of steel ingots In April was at
the rate of about 80 per cent. OF capac-
ity, or at about 100000 gross tons
a year, and the rate at present IS ap-
proximately the same. The rate of pig
iron production is about 1900. 600 gross
tons a year, or about 80 per cent OF
capacity. Merchant furnaces alone are
operating at less than 20 per cent. only
q few stacks being in blast.
There are no evelopments OF new
lines of steel consumption and the small
demand is merely for current require
rnents However. there is a slightly
better buying movement by the job
bers. but large manufacturers are using
less steel proportionately than jobbers
are distributing, and construction work
is absorbing less steel in proportion than
the manufacturing consumers. Export
demand Is extremely light, except that
Japan is buying in a moderate way and
Canada is taking a little steel
Sales OF steel ceased at the old
prices Of the independents before the
advance was made to the uniform prices
now quoted, and the whole market Is
actually on the equalized basis. The
real test of price stability, however. has
not yet been made, as no tempting orders
have been offered. The Steel Corpora
tion Is receiving slightly heavier specif-
cations than before it reduced its prices
five weeks ago.

cations decreased by 439.541 toao sn
