CANNERIEs FAIL TO COMBINE.
Negotiations Fall Through Mt the
Last Minute.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 27.-The pro-
posed combine. Of British. Columbia sal
mon canneries has fallen through at least
for the present. Negotiations had reached
the point where the final papers only re-
qured signatures for the payment OF the
purchase price Of s1,2oO,000. when the cam
ners refused to accede to certain stipula-
tons OF the New York capitalists who
were interested in the proposed combine.
These American capitalists made the
purchase conditional upon their having
controlling interest in the stock Of the
combine, AZ per cent. of which was to be
retained by the Gamers Instead OF this
combination of the sixty-six canneries in
British Columbia, forty-six OF which are
on Fraser river. fifteen miles from here.
and twenty on. Skeena river, several hum
bred miles to the north Of Vancouver, 1t Is
now proposed to form what are practically
a score Of smaller combines. three or four
canneries pooling issues and being con-
Quoted under one management. These
twenty pools. while operating independ-
entity as TO management, will probably act
as a unit regarding prices and matters Of
mutual interest.
