Nav YoRR. Oct l9.-The report that the
Thomson hunston Company has bought
the parent Brush Company for t9,25O. 900

dicted. as II result OF this move, that the
elsctric business OF the country will souu
be dominated by three great corporations
the Thomson Houston, this Westinghouse
and the Edison. The Thomson Houston
has at present invested capital Of "a,
5HU,0O0 which does not however, repre-
sent all their property, having within u
comparative recent period absorbed 2s
street railways IN different parts OF the
country, and now building 10 or 20 more
iine5, besides doing miscellaneous busl-
ness OF enormous proportions.
The Westinghouse Company, another
great absorbent, has secured control OF q
large number OF patents. and 1t was Its
purchase OF the Sawyer Mann patents that
brought 1t into conflict with the Edison In
tBrest with regard to the exclusive use OF
the carbon iiliinent In electric lighting.
