A SILK TRUST
Is Being Formed With a Capital of
100000.

New York, April 2S.-The World today
says:
Circulars have been issued by the pro-
moters for a combination of all the con-
Germs in this country engaged in the
manufacture of silk ribbons and broad
silk goods. Many have signifed their
willingness to enter the deal.
Among the largest manufacturers
who have refused are the Cheney Bros.
of Connecticut and Schwarzbach, Huber
& Co.. who have mills at Union Hill, N.
j., and in Pennsylvania. The prospectus
among other things says:
1T is proposed to form a corporation
under the laws of New Jersey, to be
called the United States Silk Manufac-
turing company, with a capital stock OF
about $1O0, 200, 900. The product of the
silk ribbon factories of the United
States has, during the year 1898, reached
$50, 600 900 and the product of the broad
silk industry $40, ,0O0,0 900, making total
of $40, 600 900 product by the American
manufacturers of silk goods during the
year.
1T is proposed to acquire substan-
TALLY all the concerns engaged in these
industries. The growth of the SILK in
duStry during the last twenty years mas
been phenomenal. From manufactur-
ing about 20 per cent of the goods con-
sumed in the United States twenty
years ago, the industry has now grown
to the foregoing figures, which represent
20 per cent of the goods consumed in
America.
Under one management it is possible
and probable that at least 95 per cent
of the goods consumed here will be
manufactured in chis country"
The circular sets forth that under the
combination economies can be brought
about that will result in an increased
profit without affecting the wages of
labor or the selling price of manufac-
tured goods. These economies are hg-
ured to make a saving of s12,OOO,0Oo.

PROTECT SIXTH WARD.
Fire Marshal Wilmarth Completes
the Arrangements

Chief Wilmarth has issued orders to
the captains of the fire stations rela-

the Sixth ward.
When an alarm of fire is received
from there the hose wagon and chemi-
cal engine from station No. and the
ladder truck from station No. with
the hose wagon from station No. 4 will
answer. If the fire is too far away
from a water plug to be reached by a
line of hose the chemical engine will
continue to the fire and the hose wag-
ons will turn back and the chemical en-
CINE from station No. l will be called.
