PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 24.—
Philadelphia continued to hold the at-
tention of the entire steel trade today
and out of a mass of rumors the fol-
lowing facts appear:
The changing of control of the Mid-
vale Steel Company and the Cambria
steel are separate and distinct trans-
actions although transpiring at the
same time.
Control of Midvale Steel was for-
mally turned over to the new owners
represented by the banking house of
William A. Reed & Co. today, although
final settlement was postponed. This
may take place tomorrow morning.
The company will be recapitallzed'and
the shares offered to the public.
A portion of the option held by Wil-
liam H. Donner, president of the Cam-
bria Steel Company on the Pennsyl-
vania company's holdings of Cambria'
Steel stocks has been exercised.
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company is the pur-
chaser of Cambria Steel stocks. He
has bought or will buy control for
his Bethlehem Steel Company. This,
it is believed. Is part of a plan to or-
ganize a new independent steel com-
pany.
The Midvale Steel Company’s sale
price approximates 919,000.000. Pay-
ment, it is said, will be made later in
cash through the Girard Trust Com-
pany of Philadelphia.

in the week’s expansion—cold weath-
er, higher prices for cotton and for-

first named factor, coupled with that
