The business of the promoter of
trusts and trade consolidation has
.prospered SO greatly of late that the
public has come to accept as feast
bic and probable almost every
scheme of industrial combination
which the protective may see fit to
exploit. 1t snot surprising, there
fore, to find it stated with some de-
gree of positiveness that the recent
ly collapsed plan of flour mill con-
solidation has been patched up and
carried to successful conclusion.
The reports, however, may be taken
with many grains of allowance.
The projectors are undoubtedly
pushing the scheme; but the obsta-
Giles to it's success are not less for
midablo than they were when the
plan was rejected by the big North
western millers month or two ago.
The latter appear to be too far
sighted to go into the arrangement,
and the flour trust is still in the
air.
