the formation o. a cycling syndicate The yarn
was first whispered about Rochester was then
waited to Chicago and IL arrived in New-York by
special wire Friday. The story goes that
syndicate OF wealthy men has been formed, TO
purchase 10000 high grade bicycles at SIG each
These machines 10 be put on the market FOR $50
each. The deal will require capital OF sS+c"
and the manufacturers are 10 furnish the Wheels
as fast as they up to January !. lS'. All the
manufacturers their principal agents in This
city were seen and all denied the story as rfdicu-
lous in the extreme They said that in the first
place bicycles could be made for SIG or any
thing like tnar sum. efrner or ror many
wears to come. Most OF the leading dealers said
difficulty in supplying the trade and some OF the
dealers were from weeks 10 two months be-
hind in their orders II by any chance there should
be any foundation for the story 1t shows that
the manufacturers have been making a pretty
penny out OF the public.
The story is ridiculous upon its face" said one
dealer 1.-THE idea OF turning out anything like
frs;-class wheel for SIS is preposterous. The tub
ing costs money and do rims and tires The
cheapest made wheel in the market to-day that
know OF costs the maker $24 OF course. there Is
a handsome profit in -'Nees and this cycling craze
will make the turers rich II they protect
themselves and do not go too far OF course,
