Indicating that the work they had to perform called for more time than had been expected. When It Is realized that this commit tee of steel men represented the Industry in virtually all Its branches and had the difficult part of taking care of tho Just nd reasonable requests of all the dif ferent lines and companies, it can be seen that the meetings which were held In this city In the last few weeks prepir tory to leaving for the capital were nec essary. While, as stated heretofore, none of the members of the committee who could be seen was willing to talk of their gath- . erlng with the war Industries boani. It Is, nevertheless, true that they have taken a somewhat norelui amiuiie. The presented sen rather and professionals, too, sold as did Wall Sinclair Oil street. NVvv Orleans' was a good buer.

The situation, with regard to pig Iron prices. Is unique. Small steel men asked that a reduction In the quotation be requested by the general committee to permit them to operate at a fair profit, whereas, on the other hand, Iron makers opposed such a step. While there are many who believe that a lower price for pig Iron la not out of the question, they admit that tho mat ter is still much "in the air." One pig Iron man, who keeps In close touch with conditions, makes the argu ment that a lower price might work out some difficulties, whereas If the Gov ernment permits a slight advance In-the quotation for finished and semi-finished steel products, the small steel maker would be benefited, without causing any disturbance In the pig iron output. bunks and trust depositories AuKrt-satc rr- servu Keserve reeiulred Surplus tspcle included t Cnlted States 112 nnn.
