THE ALLEGED CORNER IN SODA ASH


The Manager OF the SoIvny Process in
Syracuse Explains the SituntIon.
SYRACUSE. July 2s.-The solvay process
works In this city are the largest manufac-
turers OF soda ash In the United States. A re-
porter called at the establishment TO learn
what views were held there regarding the cor
ner In soda a. outlined in THE SvS's cabes
gram from London. dated July Is, The whole
article was looked upon as facetious by VIII
liam b. CoRswell. manager OF the solvay
Process Company's works In fact according
to Mr.. CoGswel, the article gave no sort Of
idea OF the situation in London. MIR. Cogswell
seems to believe that the London papers arc
protesting against something OF which they
know little OF. They seem to think that tho
object OF the proposed trust union, or what
ever you may choose to call It. is for the pur-
pose OF running the price up to high figure.
whereas the real object OF the syndicate is to
oasI few years. Mr.. CoSsweIi says. W the Price Of
Mr. Cogswell explained it IN this wise:
Is obtained. The first is the wed, or. ammonia
process, which was made practicable through
the Le Blanc. or the sulpburio acid system,
the soda ash being secured by treating the dry
salt With sulphuric acid. The Le Blanc system
evolved by their process. and so has been able
to compete with us. However, there has been
- COutlAut CuttlnR OF pTlCeR OWING 10 the
Bleaching Powder Union. to which tho Le
Blanc Company belonged before 1t went to
pieces. the le Blanc people were able, to get
enormous prices for their, product Of chlorine.
and thus sustain themselves. The Bleaching
out, and now the Lee Blanc dry
process people are clamorous for o COM
bination. The syndicate 10 proposed merely
to do away with the cutting OF prices IL the
trust is effected II will be combination Of the
ammonia aud dry process systems, As things
now are in London, neither the lie Blanc nor
the ammonia process companies are doing
business on paying basis. An increase OF 30
or Az rence per ton. Willie II would not materi-
ally affect the public would put the soda ash
companies OF England in fair way toward do
ing a paying business.
What atruck Mr.. Cogswell as being particu-
larry amusing was the statement that uro-
moters OF the union have secured q promise
from the salt union not to supply firms erect
ing their own plants at q fine OF 80 pence per
ton. Mr.. CoRswell said that the soda ash
makers Of Engl land already have their fac
tories built and their machines in them. More
over tho salt union publish their schedule of
prices at the beginning Of each year. and
maintain them without deviation. They have
TO any one who cared to buy at scheduled
prices. As there are already more factories
than enough to supply the demand in England.
he thought that the suggestion that private In
divlduals would try to start manufactores
on their own account WAS quite ludcrous. All
that the Manufacturers Of soda ash want said
Mr. Cogswell, is to make soda ash on paying
basis. Alarm at the proposed corner as II is
termed. 10 needless.
