THE STARCH TRUST.

An ORGANIZATION which Controls the Corn
starch Production or the Country-A
High Taritf to Help II.
The National Starch Co., which is the
legal title Of the starch trust, was or
ganized last April. 1t has recently held
its first annual meeting and was able 70
declare dividends on three kinds Of
stock. Since the trust was organized
II has managed to put up the price Of
starch about one cent a pound. The
wholesale price Of starch at the facto-
ries last April was cents pound, i
| Is now from 81 70 80 cents.
| When the trust was organized last
| April one manufactures who went into
| II was asked whether the price Of starch
| would be raised. Here is his answer:
| No. don't think so; not unless the price
| OF corn goes up, NJ any rate. Corn mas
| already gone up three cents since the new
| organization was effected. II the price o.
starch should be increased by the manufact-
urer-. however. il would probably not apect

same price that he has been getting Tor many

This manufacturers declared that one
purpose OF the organization was 70 pre-.
vent ovcr-production. although he did
not think prices would be raised. The
trust has for months held the price "
10 point higher by amost half than
the price last spring.
The Mckinley duty on corn starch i
two cents pound, being the same a
under the old law. The figures used
during the tariff debate by the United

was noticed that tonic she was
