A NOVEL TRUST.
By Which American Goods VIII be Sent
Abroad.

srecisl 70 the Gazette.
New YORK, Feb. 27.-Another vast mercantile
combination it seems is to be sprung within a
short time, but it has the merit according to the
announcement made OF being injurious only to
oreigu industries and of advancing the interests
of working Americans. The board OF trade
of Newark. N. J., held its regular
monthly meeting last night and dis
cussed the subject OF export trade.
F. B. Wheeler OF this city made the principal
address. In the course of his speech SIR.
Wheeler stated that company with whom he is
conn tied is on the OF forming a gigantic
trust in which this country viii be Interested for
stock company will be formed and goods
of every description will be handled for
trade throughout Europe, and especially
OF Newark manufacturers have partly consented
to join the syndicate. just what Mr.. Wheeler
proposes Is this. A stock company will be
originated and include one of the leading manu-
facturers in each line OF goods which can be adj
vaptageouSly expected. Each one in the COM
bination viii be q stakeholder, but the Wheeler
company viii assume complete charge of trade.
They viii place their statesmen in the countries
to which 1t is proposed to send the goods
and in fact they have already travellers out and
have started the scheme on a limited basis. The
statesmen wall solicit orders in the name of the
corporation, when they will be sent to the New
York Office. The manufacturers viii receive or
ders for the goods that he may make through the
Wheeler company, anu he only, for those not in
the trust VIII not pc allowed TO receive any or
the trade thus controlled. The F. &. Wheeler
company have already opened Offices in
sydney, New South Wales and BriEben, and
they expect to establish others at an early date.
The lines OF goods that Mr.. Wheeler thinks can
be handled best are axes and cutlery, oils of all
kinds, carriages, hardware sud woodward,
cloth and leather and shoes. 1t is thought that
later limited number OF English firms viii
be admitted, making a ombination which would
extend over q larger part of the manufacturing
and commercial world. With the Wheeler COM
pany are intrusted such firms as n. j. Demorest
s. Co.. saddlcry: Sergeant manufacturing com
pany, saddlery; Phineas, Jones & CO., car
riageS; H. N. Streehy & Co., carriage hard
ware and Butler 81 Ward harness leather

BRITISH INVESTMENTS IN AMER

BRITISH INVESTMENTS IN AMER
ICA.
1t is estimated that British investments
in foreign countries fer last year ex-
oeeded 5000 900, 900, the total for the
fret eleven months being $3.50 ,6l7 ,695,
exclusive of vendors shares. In 1883 the
capital subscribed TO loans and compa-
mics OF all descriptions amounted to
$500, 745, 900 against $3.50, $50 900 for
1887. and S5O5 $40, 900 In 1886, the latter
being little less than the total for 1884.
The astonishing magnitude of these in
vestments in the last two years may well
cast doubts on the sobrIety of the
Judgment OF the men who are respon-
sible for them aud the wisdom of
those whose capital has been distributed
by them over every quarter of
the habitable globe. These British in
vestments have formed a prominent
feature in the United States Che last few
months. They have included elevator,
breweTies, Touring mills, patent medi-
oines, and probably some other lines of
industry. High prices were pad in each
case reported thus far, but in most in
stances systematic investigation pre-
coded the purchase, and the property
may prove TO be worth the money,
though there may be pairing
down OF the profits promised as an in
0ucement to the public to take the shares
out of the bands of the promoters. Much
greater risks have been undertaken Ia
the investments in some other countries,
especially in the Argentine and Brazilian
