ber Companies Of the United States
Boston, Jan. 2.-The Herald in the morn
ing will print the result. OF conversations with
prominent rubber manufacturers regarding the
proposed consolidation of all leading rubber
companies in this country. 1t was acknowl-
edged such movement was on foot, but MOTH
ing definite has yet been accomplished beyond
ascertaining the feeling in regard to it which
is almost universally favorable. One manu-
facturer said all rubber companies of any ac-
count will enter into the combination, the cap
ital siock of which will be from twenty to thir-
ty millions.
We want to have a combination of capital
of such great strength that we can go into the
Brazilian market, bag ali the rubber. We
want il at as low rates as any syndicate OF cap
italists. The combination would not be inclin-
| ed to advance prices aud could not have a mo-
nopoly of the market SO long as foreign pro-
ducts can be imported. The arrangement
would secure better class of goods Dy the use
of pure rubber aud place their production
above the disabilities which speculation in
crude material is sure to bring TO isolaled and
| weak manufacturers.
