Portland, Feb. 25. For a consid
eration mild to bo about 11,000,000.
tho Aniorlcnn Steol nnd Wlro Com
pany, genornlly rogardod us holng a
subaldlnry concern to tho United
States Steol Corporation. Iihr pur
chased all tho internals of the Pa
cific Steal nnd Wlro Company of Oak
land, Portland. San Frnnolsco. Bo
attlo, and Now York. The one deal
In Itself Is not considered of groat
Importance, but because of tho Intl
inato conneotlon botwuon tho Pacific
company and tho groat DeKalb Fence
Company of DoKalb. III., thoro Is good
reason to believe. It Is said, that the
steol corporation has taken ovor both
concorns.
Today representatives of the pur
chasing company, the American Stoel
and Wire Company, with C. K. Illoom,
Portland sales agent for the company,
are taking an Inventory of the Pa
cific company's stock in Portland.
Tho company has a warehouse and
distributing branch nore.
"The American Steel and Wlro
Company might have purchased tho
Western Hemisphere and I wouldn't
know of It." asserted Mr Hloom to-!
day. "All I know Is what wom con
tained in a telegram which I received
from tho head offices In San Fran
cisco It Instructed mo to take an
inventory of tho Pacific company's
stock hero."
Local ngontH for tho Pacific com
pany admitted today that a snlo had
boon mado and that tho Amerloau
company had ncqulrod thoir Interests.
Thoy also received telegraphic word
to this effect.
More than seven your ago tho
Pacific 8tal and Wlro Company was
organUed In San Fi-uiioImuo with a
capital stock of 1250,000. A factory
was oroetod In Oakland. At thai time
It whs partly eontiolled by what mhh
then tho National Fence Company and
tho National Wire and Stoel com
pany. Lator tho Pacific company be
came separated from tho larger con
cern, which wont out of huulnoiui and
was reorganized au tho DoKalb Fetich
company, now one of tho mammoth
Industries of Its kind. Itecently tho
Pacific company wus reorganized, but
tho details have been kept qulot. It
waa believed that It had bton taken
In by the DeKalb company.
If It be a fact that tho steel cor
poration ban purchased tho DeKalb
interests It may be that which lion
long threatened tho buying up by
tho corporation of a majority of tho
smaller Independent concerns, has
been started in earnest and that the
so-called trust Is really fighting for
IU life.
