THE WIRE AND NAIL TRUST
Organized For the Purchase of
Big Properties.
PLANTS BEING EXAMINED
J. Pierpont Morgan the Leading Figure in the
Gigantic Octopus Prices to Consum-
ers May be Increased.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Gentlemen who are
engaged in organizing a combination of
the wire nail industry have issued the fol-
lowing statement of the proceedings:
with the view of largely increasing the
export trade in wire, wire nails and other
products and also materially reducing the
cost of their manufacture and sale certain
gentlemen who for many years have been
identified with, and successful in the BUSH
ness have, after careful study of the
situation, decided to organize a new cor
poration which will engage in these lines
and also acquire by purchase the properties
of the leading wire nail manufacturers of
the country. The corporation has not yet
been organized but steps will soon be taken
for that purpose. The amount of this capt.
tai stock will be sufficient to pay for the
property to be acquired also to furnish
ample funds for doing the business.
After negotiations covering a period of
many months arrangements have been
made with the owners of the largest and
most prominent class for the purchase of
their properties, including the lands, build
ings, machinery and patents at prices
which are considered reasonable but which
are subject to examination and verification
by expert mechanical engineers and ae-
countants Three of the most competent
engineers have been selected and are now
examining the different plants and one of
the largest and best known houses of ex-
pert accountants in Europe and America
now examining the books and auditing
the accouns of the different companies for
the purpose of accurately determining
their earning capacities. The price to be
paid by the new comapny will largely re-
pend upon the reports of these experts, but
it is believed they wi fully justify these
prices which have been named.
$50 soon the prices have been fixed
and the titles examined the purchases will
be closed and business commenced by the
new company.
"a large portion of the capital stock of
the new company will be subscribed by
those who are now actively engaged in the
business and who will be personally con-
nected with the management Arrange
ments will be made with Messr. ]. P. Nor
gan G. Co., to underwrite the balance so
that under ali contingencies the necessary
cash capital shall be Forthcoming.
at is not proposed to antagonize the in
terests of any other manufacturers in any
respect nor to increase the manufacture
of steel bilets, nor is it likely to increase
prices to the consumers. The new COM
pany will be managed on an economical
basis and it is expected that large in
crease in manufacture and trade will
cheaper production and result in larger
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 union and such a
large scale Us will reduce the cost of pro-
duction.
