THE WIRE COMBINE.
1t is a Beneficient Institution to Control
the Foreign Trade.

Chicago, December 18.-The gentlemen
engaged In organizing commission Of
the wire manufacturing interests have
issued the following statement:
'With the view of largely increasing
the export trade in wire, wire nails and
other products and also materially reduo-
ing the cost of their manufacture and
sale, certain gentlemen decided tc or
ganize a new corporation which will en-
gage in these lines and will also purchase
the properties of the leading manufact-
Jurors of Wir3 throughout the United
States.
The new corporation has not yet been
organized, but steps will soon be taken
for that purpose. The amount of capital
stock will be sufficient to pay for the
properties acquired and also to furnish
ample funds for doing the business.
Arrangements have been made with
the owners of the largest and most prom
inent class for the purchase of their prop.
critics at prices which are considered
reasonable but which are subject to ex-
animation and verifcation by experts.
The prices to be paid by the new COM
pany will largely depend upon the reports
of these experts but 1t is believed they
will fully justify the prices which have
already been named So soon as the re-
ports have been made and the prices liked
and the titles examined the purchases
will be closed and business commenced by
the new company.
"A large portion of the capital stock
will be subscribed by those now engaged
in the business. Arrangements will be
made with Messrs. j. P. Morgan & Co.,
to underwrite the balance.
sit is intended to select officers who
have the greatest experience and produce
the best results in the manufacture of
wire and whom will retain large inter
ests.
GA few small concerns are DESTROYS of
selling their plants to the new company
and it is probable they will be purchased
il offered at d fair price
sit is not proposed to antagonize the
interests OF any other manufacturers in
any respect nor to increase the 1nanufact-
ure of steel bi1lets, nor is it the intention
to increase prices to consumers. Tho
new company will be managed on an
economical basis and it is expected the
large increase of manufacture and trade
will cheaper production and result in
fair profits. There is no doubt the United
States can obtain and hold the enormous
foreign trade now enjoyed by some of the
foreign countries, but this can be done
only by manufacturing in unison and on
such large scale as will reduce the cost
of production"
The Portland daily press., 1897-12-20
FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.
Acting comp,roller Coffin on the Stale OF
the Money Market.

Washington, December 16-In speak
ing of the present situation OF the New
York money market. Mr.. Coffin, acting
comptroller of the currency, today said:
IF anyone doubts the financial indie
pendence of the United States, ne should
study the quotations showing current
rates of interest on loans in New York,
London and other places Of interest 1t
will be found that the rate for demand
loans yesterday in New York was per
cent lower than in London, Berlin.
Hamburg and Amsterdam. In these
centres rates ranged from 2 1-2 to 4 1-2
per cent. This fully accounts for the
non-import of gold by the United States,
although our heavy exports of cotton,
corn and wheat have established large
balance of trade in our favor. This is
all the more remarkable while such large
amounts of money are needed for NOV
ing our great crops and there is 1887 200, :
000 of money Withdrawn from circulation
because locked in the treasury balance.
This condition demonstrates beyond
question that there is no lack of the cir
culating medium in this country. but
perhaps the most valuable lesson i'm
pressed is that international trade bal
ances can be settled without the use of
gold or other metallic money simply
through extension of credit by adjust
ment of interest rates. provided always
there is no question as to a single standard
of values on which these credits are
based -

NHIPPLE AND FURBUsH.

In regard to the Lewiston despatch in
which mention is made of the trouble be-
tween Whipple and Furbush in Saturday
nights game, Portland gentleman who
saw the incident had this to say about
the matter Saturday night:
"The despatch does not state the affair
correctly. Furbush had the ball in the
corner in the second period when the
score was Portland 0, Lewiston 2. Whip
pie came up and tried to take the ball
away from Furbush and by pretty piece
of work finally succeeded in doing SO.
just as Whipple was going off with the
ball Furbush drew off and struck him d
blow with his clinehed fist. Whipple
returned the blow and then Furbush
lifted his heavy polo stick and struck
Whipple with it over the ribs with all his
might. The blow almost knocked WhippIe,
down and after he had been ordered off
the floor by the referee saw his side and
there was a ridge there as large as a man Is
wrist where Furbush's stick had landed.

GLOUCESTER vs.--sosToN.
The Home of the Bankers Doing Its Own
Business.

Gloucester, Mass, December 1s.-The
second week Of the fresh fish business at
this port since the adoption of the policy
by which all Gloucester vessels land their
cargoes here, ended today, and the statis-
tics for the fortnight make very salts
factory showing. No trouble has been
experienced in disposing of all the fish
landed. Receipts Of fresh fish here today
were S., 900 pounds against $4,000 landed
at Boston. This week l,2ll 600 pounds
were landed here and $4,000 pounds at
boston. During the correspor ding week
of 1886, 2,G55 900 pounds were landed at
the latter port. Gloucester vessel owners
expect to increase the amount as the sea-
son advances.
The trade in salt fish is generally light
", YEAR SHIPMENTS are small, but win in
crease after the holidays. Stocks are not
large and prices are well sustained. The
GEORGES hand line fishery is badly handi-
capped by a scarcity of bait, and the YES
sells are making poor trips.

TO PROTECT THE FLAG.
A Movement to Prevent the Dissertation of
Old Glory.

New York, December 1S.-A mass
meeting of the representatives of the
flag committees appointed by patriotic
societies all over the United States was
held here today to organize for concerted
action regarding legislation to prevent
the desecration of the flag of the United
States. Among the societies represent
ed were the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution, the Loyal Legion
and the Founders and Patriots society.
The bill drafted by a society in Mil
waukee making it a nisdemenor to use
the flag or national coat of arms as an
to attach to the flag any
special device or to degrade it in any
way, was discussed. 1t had been pro-
posed to submit this bill TO Congress.
The general sense of the meeting seemed
to be that merely 3 campaign of edu-
cation among the people should be begun
in which organizations of all kinds
should be invited to take part A COM
mittee was appointed to prepare a more
suitable bill than that proposed and a
special committee was appointed to
arrange for fund to carry on the work.

HANNA's CHANCES.
The Senator VIII Not. Discuss Republican
Opposition.


Washington, December Ex-senator
Hanna will leave for Ohio next week and
will remain there until after his cam
paign for recollection is ended. He will
spend Christmas week in Cleveland and
early in the following week will 20 to
Columbus. The legislature meets Jan
uary 3, but the balloting does not begin
until January II. The date of the Re-
publican caucus has not yet been fixed,
but it is usually held on Thursday or
Friday preceding the bnlloting. Senator
Hanna declines to discuss the situation
for publication, beyond saying that he
has not heard of any other Republican
candidate. Today he said: | stand as
the choice of the Republicans Of Ohio,
as that choice was decared by them in
convention in Toledo, and my candidacy
has been formally endorsed by all except
four counties in that state. .
He would not discuss the Republican
opposition to his candidacy.

THE BOWLING TOURNAMENT.

Another team of Portland bowlers
visited Willard Saturday night and met
with ''the usual defeat. The Wizards
put, up a beautiful game, and one that
would be very hard for any team to beat,
but the Portland team managed to win
two strings out of the four, although
the game should have consisted of three
strings, but through the kindness of MIR.
