NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-An at
tempt by industrial leaders to keep
prices of finished and unfinished
products from following the abrupt
war rise in basic commodities was
seen in Wall Street today in steel,
paper, chemical and rayon lines.
Accepted in business circles as In
dication of the strength of the re-
sistance against hasty elevation OF
prices all along the line were:
l. Announcement of the Carnegie
Illinois Steel Corp, leading United
States Steel operating subsidiary, it
would maintain generally the pre-
war prices in the final three months
of this year.
g Extension of the present price
of $50 ton for newsprint, delivered
at New York and Chicago, to the
first three months of 1910 by the
International Paper Co.
8. Maintenance of prices by the
rayon industry in face of heavy for
ward buying. booking production
capacity ahead for some time.
T. Reports leading chemical sellers
sought to avoid sharp price changes
the rest of this year and on con-
tracts running into next year.
Nash Prices Reduced.
In addition, it was noted, Nash
Motors joined producers making
previous announcements in fixing
1910 model prices at somewhat lower
levels than on 1899 cars.
Tin plate and can manufacturers
already had informed customers
present prices would be held for the
next few months.
The Carnegie-Illinois move, US
uaily the pointer on price making
for other leading producers, was
considered among business observ-
ers Of far-reaching Importance be-
cause steel prices are major factors
in the costs of multitude of man.
ufactured goods and in the heavy
industrial fields now showing signs
Of revival.
Some observers said chances of
stabilizing prices on finished and
semi finished products through next
year were smaller than for the final
quarter of 1889 if war time condi-
tions continue to drive raw mater
ialS and other costs upward.
Stiffening Noticed.
Carnegie Illinois explained prices
of virtually all steel products for
domestic shipment would be MAIN
tanned through the fourth quarter
Some stiffening of the steel price
structure had been reported prevl-
ously through the elimination of
cutting below listed quotations on
rolled steel, notably automobile
sheets. and on export shipments in
competitive world markets.
AS ir most lines, there had been
a pell-mell rush among users to get
orders for forward delivery on steel
books for protection against pos
sible advance in prices.
United States Industrial Alcohol
has announced unchanged prices on
industrial alcohols and solvents.
Anti-freeze alcohol, with the ap-
proach of the cooler months, was
lifted cents a gallon above sum-
mer levels but remained below prices
quoted a year ago. Sulphur and
fertilizer sellers were reported keep
ing steady prices, with large con-
sumers covered well ahead by fu-
