POWDER DEALERS COMBINE.
FORCING THE PRICE UP. THEY SAY, To
AVOID LOSING MONEY.

The price OF gunpowder has gone up materially
within the last month. and II appears that nesotia-
lions 10 this result have been going on TOT
some time and have only recently been brought 10
a successful issue 1t seems that the price Is 'esu-
lated and the bulk OF the commodity controlled by
three large manufacturing concerns in this citythe
Hazard Powder Company, Dupont, De Nemours q
CO. and the Latin & Rand Powder Company. A
large number OF smaller powder manufacturing conf
pa MES have been absorbed by these three large
ones while others It is said. have made such ar
rangements that their output Is controlled oy tne
big three" The names of all the smaller com
panes so controlled cannot be ascertaned, but the
Phoenix Powder Company is one OF them. its stock
having passed almost entirely into the hands OF the
Latin & Rand Company OF which ]. A. Haskell
is president.
The new schedule Of prices raises the price OF
sporting powder Is cents keg. and blasting powder
Is cents a keg. The opinion among the trade seems
to be that there IS apparently no good reason why
tho combine" should not be able 10 fix the prices
according to any scale they choose.
At the Office OF the Latin & Rand Company II
was said that the combination was in no sense
trust but was simply endeavoring TO manufacture
powder AT profit Instead OF at a loss.
man who has been interested In the manufact-
of powder for some years, In explaining the
situation, said yesterday:

for a long time. There are many reasons lot tn.s.
