MERGER IS RUMORED Republic Steel Expected to * Absorb Colorado Fuel. Bv Pc,-** NEW YORK. Jan. 24.—Rumors emanating from Denver that Republic Steel Company was negotiating for control of Colorado Fuel and Iron were not confirmed here today, although Wall Street sources expressed belief the union would be a logical one. Information here revealed that a leading official of Republic recently inspected Colorado Fuel's plants, with the object of taking over the company. Acquisition of the company by Republic would give the latter a rail mill, something it lacks at the present time Advices from Cleveland stated that Cyrus S Eaton, prime mover in the recent merger of Republic Iron and Steel, Central Alloy Steel and several other western companies, would not comment.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Jan. 24.—The trading range in cotton up to noon today was between 17.45 and 17.56. the average price about even with last night. The general news was decidedly bearish. Curtailment of wages, decline in silver, curtailment of varn production in Japan, substantial difference —in spine takings as compared with last year, and comparative weakness in the January position which expired at noon. W'e mention all these factors because there must ve been some constructive feature to completely offset these conditions and that feature was mill buying to fix price on their stocks either on hand or recently purchased. The mills are evidently willing, if not anxious, to buy cotton around 17.50 for May. Sentiment might easily become bullish as traders do not like to sell a market after all the bearish news is out. as apparently it now is. For the present, however, we take the same conservative position that following the trade is best and would confine purchases to the 17.50 level for May. NEW ORLEANS High. Low. Close.

BELIEVE VICTIM CUT RESIDENT Identity of Woman Sought by Relatives Here. Relatives of Mrs. Eva Johnson, formerly of 1206 Central avenue, Indianapolis, today continued efforts to remove doubts surrounding the identity of a woman found dead witl’ a companion, Joseph E. Robinsou, Plant City, Fla., in a tourist cabin at Lordsburg, N. M., Thursday. Dispatches from Albuquerque indicated the dead woman was Airs. Johnson, who, relatives here believe, married Robinscfn in the course of an automobile tour in the southwest. George Kincaid, undertaker, 3918 North Illinois street, has gone to Lordsburg to complete identification and return the body to Indianapolis, if identification is verified. Dispatches from Lordsburg, in the remote southwestern section of New Mexico, today said a coroner’s jury attributed the couple’s death to poison taken with suicidal intent.
