pecially emphasized when ex-Attorney

STEEL PRICES CUT
Manufacturers Agree Upon a Genera
Reduction.
New York. June 1<J.?Announceni?-t
was made by Judge Elbert H. Gary
chairman of the I'nited States
Corporation, that a general redi:
in the prices of finished steel pr<
had been agreed upon by repr??
Uves of the large steel Interests aft? I
an all day conference. The red
affects qi! bars, plates, stru.
turai iron, merchant pipe and wirr
nails.
The statement was as follows:
"Th? ntatives of the lea?lir.g
manufacturing companies bav?
been in session during the day. It i
understood that the price of iron or
has been or will soon be reduced t
ut s per ton base.
"Each one of the steel manufactu?
ers expressed the opinion that thar
should be a readjustment in th?? prices
of their r?eapactlva coaaaaodltlaa, as
follows: Billets, from ? ? ?? to
t bars, from $29 per ton ;
a, from $1 70 par 100 poun ?
to $1.60 per loo pounds; BH rch r.
pipe, a reduction of two points, or $'
per ton; wire nails, from $2.or? p
pounds to| 100 pounds.
"She?*t and plate- i<?>d early
in the year; therefore no cha
considered in the prices of these pro?
ducts.
"It Is hoped these changes will aoi
necessitate a general or radical
justment of wages, which it is desirous
to avoid."
