A WetEhty Com bine.


LOUISVILLE. NY, January - George II.
Hull, OF this city, has been at work for seve-
raj months arranging combination among
the manufacturers OF pig iron. for what pur-
pose is not clearly known. Hull is an non
commission merchant and al present is in
New York on business pertaining TO the COM
bination. Edward Tracy, the manager Of
the company and llulrs associate in the plans,
stated that he did not feel AT liberty 10 say
much about the 0mbination, bat he ssserted
positively that the chief object was 10 benefit
the iron industry OF tue south By bringing TO
itagreat increase OF capital. he also declared
that the combination would have no
effect toward increasing the price Of
IRON 10 consumers. The reasons for
keeping the stair secret he gave
by stating simply that publicity would have
iuieriered with llll's plans, and thus might
have caused delay and possibly failure 70
carry it out. The papers devoted 10 tte iron
trade, be said, hrd promised 10 ss.ist in
Keeping the matter quiet. Tracy declined
tOfurnlsh any further inform ton concerns
ing the progress OF the scheme, though it
seems from what could be learned that It il
already complete. Other iron dealers here
state that so far as they know the c0mhina.
tion originated by HUH in arranging simply
10 nave the furnaces store their products in
warehouses under control ~ the general
custodian, who shall carry the KEYS and issue
receipts for iron stored therein, these re.
ceipis TO be Used for pledges To- raise money
upon no banks. This scheme Is pronounced
lmpraciclOe, however, and the geHera idea
