sTRAWBoARD TRUSTS PLANS.
Curtail Production by Clos.

Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. 1.-THE meeting
of the American Strawboard Mamfac.-
urers' Association resulted to-day in a plan
for creating a market for the full output

will sail for London in ten days to spend the
winter and interest English manufacturers
in American strawboard.
A shutdown was ordered for all the mills
for one week from next Sunday. The pro-
duction of the mills in the association,
which is practically the production of the
country. is 10000 pounds daily. and as the
consumption In this country is only one
half that amount. surplus has been ere.
ated. which will be partially wiped out
by one week of idleness. 1t was decided
to run all the mills when any were rum
ming and when the overproduction assumes
too large an amount. a shutdown will take
place. 1t is thought probable that an
other shutdown of one week will take place
in IA month or six weeks. though 1t de-
pends upon the market. After that time. it
Is thought the English shipments will COM
