The. selection of James A. Farrell. president of the United States' Steel
Produets Export company, to succeed yilliam E. CoTey as head of the United
States Steel corporation when .the latter goes out of office is looked upon lnx
the financial world as the corporation's reward to an officer of a subsidiary
concern who had been especially actiTe in promoting business in a dull sea
son. The Steel Products Export company conducts the United Staes Steel
corporation's foreign business and has been thriving while unfilled orders at
home decreased and rumors of price cutting filled 'the air. The steel corpora
tion's trade abroad has surpassed all previous records in the past year, and
individuals in a position to know what has been accomplished do not hesi
tate in giving Mr.; Farrell credit for his successful efforts. Mr.- Farrell was
bofn in New Haven in' 1863, and he earlywent Into-lhe sfeel business. He
