NEW YORK, April Z?Representatives of the twenty-one leading manuI facturera of Bestremer steel in this country w?ro In seslon here to-day. i One of the members of the conference said that there would be no adjournment until something hadtbeen done to regulate the amount of production. It Is denied that there 4? any lnten| tlon4o form a trust or pool At the conclusion ui uv uievmi* Georgo T. Oliver, president of the Holnsworth Steel Company, of Plttsburgh, Pa., made the following statement: "With the exception of a few weeks last fall the manufacturers of Bessemer steel In tlfe United States have been conducting a losing business for the past thuee yean. This has resulted more through the growing Influence of the mldOlraen than on aoouist of competition between the manufacturers themselves. "With tha purpose In view- of eliminating suck influences, and of bringing about cloar relations between buyer sod seller, the steel mao met In session and ham succeeded tp agreeing among themselves that In the future all negotiations statu be oonflned strletly to the prodooer on the one hand and the consumer on the other. "It Is not lntsnmrlt) restrict production, except so far as such restrictions will be brongtrt about by doing away ?'*u rtMMHmia transactions and the conflnlng^of bu*nes? to the actual wants of the country. In mmny Ionianbps a middleman will purchase eteel la largo, quantities (nun & manufacturer tor Wbtob be baa no customer in sight. TOieo the time of dellTery ardrea the manufacturer will natural IT ciokX ids customer to furnish Bpodflcatlons tor the st*eL His only course Is to dump it on the market at any price It will brine. One such transaction has In many Instances resulted Ih the demoralization of the entire market and even the business for the rest of the season, wo hope through the influence of this organization and tf frequent meetings and Interchange of vttws tp do away with tfcfc evfl. vra OUhk we can Bo so. 'This or?ulintlon dbes not Include all the maaafactnren of Bessemer steal, nor Is suah unanimous action necessary-. Tfce great ftrm of Schoenbcrger A Company, of Pittsburgh, Is not i mi assatsd at all. neither Is the Illinois Compsnx, of Chicago, bound by O* action of our members, but ttnejw Is no doubt in our mind that both of 0M9B large interests will act In harmony with other manufacturers, as neither bu the reputation of being a dlsturher-ln the market. "It is not our latenttaa to bring about any undue advance in the price of steel. The price whtc? has been screed upon for tbe present, ISO per ton. Is fully Justifted by the strong advance which has taken Place within the pant two weeks In pig won and iron ore, dad it is really doubtful whether In view of the existing conditions manufacturers can make any profit at that-price." Mr. Oliver admitted with some reluctance that another meeting would be held to-morrow afternoon. He intimated that organisation would probably be effected at this meeting. Andrew Carnegie, who las Just returned from Florida, said to a reporter that he had not heard of the proposed combination of steel manufacturers. "* *?'* ?nu*nn? tn munh." "i BUft V VUlltK it nu. ? ooB?Jnu|d Mr. Carnegie. "In times o( darn ni and stagnation, people are disposed to get together and agree to suspend the lav of competition. But no permanent results follow. I never believed In combinations. They are only for weak people. They give a little temporary strength to these weak persons. but they are not good for the strong MiA4iealtby." "What t?-yourtplnlon of the general outlook In business?" "Well business Is not good," he replied. "A general depression prevails and 1 .think that we must get the presidential election over before we can hope for general prosperity. After that I hope-that the currency system of the government will be placed upon a proper financial basis, so that we will get rid of the agitation for a change of standard." Iron and Steel Trade. FITTSHRJROH, Pa., April 2.?The American Manufacturer and Iron World will flay to-morrow: The Iron and steel trade this week la In rather a mixed condition caused by the announcement of the Bessemer steel arrangement. So far only Bessemer baa been changed, but the trade Is waiting: to sec what effect It will havo on other lines. Consequently It Is very difficult to guess the Immediate future of the Iron and steel trade. If the compact among the Besemer steel producers 1? made thoroughly effective. It is very likely that there will bo a marking up of prices all along the line and It Is urged that the certainty of advanced prices will bring out the demand which has been so long guppressed. Orcy Forge Is quoted at $10 7.p.?li 00; Bessemer 913 00ft>13 50; muck bar $20; steel rails $28. THBILLIRQ 8XPZRIZH0E Of Two Children?Alone with Their Drnd Father in the Middle of the Orran.

ELSIHS SPEAXS In the S?iu(c in Behalf of tlu Boooua|?- j mcnt of American Commerce* WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2.?The postofflce appropriation bill served to brine out some sharp discussion in the senate to-day on the propriety of abol- i lshlng country postofflces and absorb- 1 ing them as branches of cityiofBoes. Mr. I Gorman opposed 4he plan, aa un-Democratic. Hesitated that the Baltimore nfldtofflco territory included two con .gresslonal districts and this postoftlce power was exerted towards influencing the selection of men (or Congress.

Thero was no work for the committee to do. It is stated that an agreement has been reached that the 70 cent rate is to prevail in the Pittsburgh district during the lake season.

Fourth district Republicans Bee in Mr. Atkinson the Moses who will lead them In the cam-# poJgn of next fall that will bring tho state out of the wilderness of Bourbonism, where she has been for so long a time side-tracked, onto the main line of the railroad of progress and prosperity, where the Republican party furnishes the motive power. And speaking of trains of progress, where could you get a better all-round conductor than "Wes" Atkinson, as he Is generally known? Polltlos in the Fourth district, on the Republican side of the fence at least, will not be the Intensely exciting game it usually Is when a congressional nom-' lnatlon Is the stake. The reason Is plain; the district convention which Is to be held In Parkersburg next Julys will last a very few minutes, and in doublMulck time the present representative, Hon. Warren Miller, of Jackwon. will h* renominated. Here In his own "back yard" Stiller Is considered the beat representative^ the "Wert Virginia delegation. He has been a hard worker and is accomplishing more In one term than a "Farmer" .Capehart would have done In a half a dozen terms.
