There is more than possibility that
the Wheeling pottery will be conducted
as an independent plant, even after the
plans of the promoters of the pottery
trust have materialized. When the To-
cal concern was gobbled up, along with
the potteries located elsewhere, the
American Potteries Company was Civ
en- an option on the Wheeling Pottery
Company's property, until April first.
The option named certain conditions.
Now there is proposed departure from
the original plan, and the new scheme
is unsatisfactory to the stockholders
and officials of the local plant. Pres
ident c. w. Franzheim has given Off
cial notification, in response to letters
of inquiry as to the attitude of the
Wheeling company toward the new
project, that only the terms Of the OPP
ton will be acceptable.
When Mr.. Franzheim was seen by a
Register reporter last night, he oe-
clined to discuss the difference in the
original and present propositions. The
New York Commercial has the follow
ing anent the matter, however:
while the financial plan at first
adopted for the pottery combine proved
to be too heavily watered, endangering
it's successful completion, the scheme
has not proved a failure. The promo
tiers have substituted another financial
plan, which is meeting with favor. 1t
is expected that the deal will be ready
for the bankers by Wednesday of this
week"
1.-THE new terms are not agreeable to
the stockholders in the Wheeling pot
terry" said Mr.. Franzheim. "and will
not be accepted. We do not consider
them to the advantage of ourselves or
to the interest of the people of this
city. The pottery trade is excellent at
present, and we have proceeded in our
usual way, making plans for the spring
and fall trade, without regard to the
consolidation. My information is that
the new plan is acceptable to a large
number Of the concerns interested"

entirely satisfactory and as placing it
in the same position as other European
powers who had sought ports in China.
This, it is said, brings the negotiations

authorities. The reported action of
Italy since then in making its demands
on China and following it up with
threats of a demonstration, have not
been officially communicated here.
