FLOUR CONSOLIDATION
THE LARGE MILLS OF NEW YORK
AND THE NORTHWEST
PULLMAN CAR EARNINGS
Real Estate Statistics for September.
Stamp Tax on Receipts Meant
for Checks
OFFICE OF THE HERALD,

Los Angeles, Oct. s. 1885,
The news Of the proposition to console
date the largest flour mills of this city ana
the northwest into one corporation was the
chief topic of conversation In the Hour
trade and on the New York produce ex-
change today.
The plan. says the New York
Evening Post, includes the consol-
idation of the large flour mills of
Minneapolis, Duluth, Milwaukee and Su-
perior with the Hecker-Jones-J Jewell COM
bination here. Thomas A. Mcintyre of the
well-known firm Of Mcintyre & Wardell
is said to be arranging the deal.
Many -four merchants appear to be some
what skeptical on the subject, but Presi-
dent Eugene Jones Of the Hecker-Jones-
Jewell Milling company confirmed the
story and said It was substa ntially true
and that the deal would go through. 1t is
proposed to take in all the large mills in the
northwest, and a merchant who has seen
the hst said they represent total capacity
Of about $4,000 barrels of -four per day.
The following mills are said to be in
cluded In this list: Pillsbury- -Washburn of
Minneapolis, with daily capacity Of 25 900
barrels; Washburn- Crosby of Minneapolis,
with n capacity of 1000: Northwest Consol-
idated Flour Milling company of Minneapo-
lis. $1,000: Hecker-Jones-Jewell company
of this city, capacity 1000; Imperial Milling
company of Duluth. 5000: Anchor mills of
Dulutn, 4UUU. Daisy mills OIL Duluth, 5000;
Daisy mills of Milwaukee,. 5000, and tho
William Lispman mills and Freeman mills
of Superior, Wis, with daily capacity of
$500 barrels each, and numerous smaller
mills.
The consolidation scheme proposes to
make 1t n stock company, with a capital of
$40, 900 In stocks and bonds.
The terms on which the various mills will
be taken in have not yet been arranged
The consolidation will, as a matter Of
course. make a great change in the flour
trade. especially in regard to the disposi-
tfon of the output, as 1t is the expectation
that the new company will fix prices and
act as the general selling agent. AS all the
mills have selling agents here now, most
of whom sell on commission, the consolida-
tion will necessarily put a large number
OF them out of the business, unless the COM
panies take them in as statesmen, etc. An
agent said today that the object of the
consolidation was undoubtedly due to the
desire to control the markets and do away
with the middlemen and cutting of prices.
President Jones said the combination will
help the trade and stop ruinous competi-
tion. but that the public need have no rea-
son to fear trust. 1t was reported that
Mr. Pillsbury was in favor of the PROPOSE
tion, and that probably he will be the pres
ident of the consolidated corporation.

legitimate ways in which money can be
withdrawn from a commercial bank. The
use of receipt, while not In terms forbid
den. Is presumptively 90, and any attempt
to use a receipt In lieu Of a check is a mani
fest attempt to evade the tax, which can
only be prevented by taxing the receipt as
a check. A receipt Is not a negotiable in
and any attempt to treat 1t as
such would result in difficulties to both the
bank and the depositors."
