The Price of Flour Made by a Trust.

MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. 14-In regard to the
alleged Millers' trust reported today it was
learned from a gentleman who claims to
have personal knowledge that for more
than three months the leading spring wheat
millers in the belt bounded by Buffalo, st.
Louis and Minneapolis have been trying to
form an organization looking to the con-
troll of the price of flour Most of the
spring wheat millers have finally got into
the organization, which is now under full
headway, with all the necessary officers and
committees

THE CRESCENT MILLS.
A Treasurer Magnifies the Assets So as to
Keep His Place.

Keep His Place.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. Efficiently
at special meeting of the stockholders of
the Crescent mills the capital stock was re-
duced from $500, 900 to 100000 and after
ward increased to 100000 for the purpose
of liquidating the debt of the corporation.
Old stockholders were asked to contribute
$4,000 on a basis of three shares of new
stock for five shares of the old. They did
not respond freely A recent investigation
into affairs has disclosed the fact that the
assets of the concern were largely exagger-
ated by the treasurer, who was deposed
some months ago. Accordingly another
meeting has been called, and the stock
holders will take action regarding the con-
tinuance of business. The deposed treas
urer has stated that he magnified the earn
ings so as to keep his position, which he
would have lost had the true state of af-
fairs been known.
