Awful are the possibilities which this
unsuspecting gentleman has let loose
upon US! No longer will It be possible

industrial com bina ton seems evident Sro-a
the long list of announcements Of Lew con-
solldations, rumored or actually aho2t,
coming TO public view this week. Whether
this tendency has as yet reached its cul-
mination cannot, of course, be easily pre-
dlcted, but in some lines of Industry, the
announcements of rejected consultations
would seem TO have left little room for
further operations OF this kind. Easily
first in this direction is the gigantic iron
and steel combination. announced with
seeming confidence as in process Of forma-
ton. Second only to this, however, is the
actual floating of the great copper COM
blnation- Oufgrowths as these great COM
binations are of immense industrial
changes in many lines, they possess spe-

their projection or their carrying out to a
