CANNERY TRUST MAY
SOON BE REALIZED
OPTIONS ON TWo-THIRDs OF THE
BIG ESTABLISHMENTS.
All That Remains Is Final Consum-
nation of the Deal-Some Big
Houses Have Not En-
tered the Combine.

Trust upon trust is the order of the
business world to-day. The newest syn
dictate about to be formed on this coast
embraces the major number of big can
merry establishments in this State.
For the past few months Chickering
Thomas & Gregory have been at work
perfecting the outlines of a cannery trust
and their efforts have so far met with
success, for they have secured on behalf
Of their principals an option on two
thirds of the canneries in this State
Those establishments which have come
into the combine are: Fontana & Co. s
San Francisco, Healdsburg and Hanford
cannery; Cutting Packing Company's
three canneries, situated in this city,
Santa Rosa and Santa Maria; King
Morse Canning Company's two canneries,
situated in this city and San Leandro;
Sacramento Packing Company's three
canneries, situated in Sacramento, Ven
tura and V1salia; Balfour-Guthrie two
canneries, situated In Biggs and in Oak
canneries, situated in Oakland and Mil
pitas; San Jose Packing Companys two
canneries, situated in San Jose and in
Marysville; the Carquinez Packing Com
pany's cannery, situated at Benicia; A.
f. Tenney Company's cannery. situated
at Fresno; Hunt Bros. Packing Com
Rose City Canning Company's cannery
situated at Santa Rosa; Russian River
Packing Companys cannery, situated in
Healdsburg; Sebastopol Packing Com
pany. situated in Sebastopol; Napa Val
ley Packing Company, situated in Napa
and Hood Canning Company, situated in
Emeryvile.
There are number of canneries which
have held out and have so far refused to
join hands with the combination. Their
output reaches big portion of the year.
~ supply and they will figure as potent
rivals to the combination should they per-
sist in their present declination to make
one of 1t.
The annual output of those canneries
which have joined in trust is estimated
at about ,o 2 oso eoo cases which f amounts
capitalization of the trust company is
fixed at $3000,000 To those Gamers who
join the syndicate a lump sum will be
paid and also proportionate amount Of
the capital stock. The organizers of the
trust disclam any intention upon the part
of their principals to raise prices They
claim that there will merely be greater
economy exercised in the operation of
the plants and less expense in the pro-
ductioh of canned goods.

GOSSIP OF STATE POLITICS.
Governor Tyler and the Caucus With
druWal of Nh. Ryan.

A gentleman who is very close to the
Governor stated yesterday that he was
satisfied the Executive will have his name
80 before the Democratic caucus. lie
thought there was no probability of the
Governor Withdrawing from the sena-
torial contest prior 20 The holding of the
caucus. In fact, the Governor. he
thought, represented certain principles
which would forbid their exponent from
stopping short of the actual pronounce
ment of the caucus of the party. The
gentleman did not profess 10 speak for
the Governor. hut he felt pretty well as
suIed the views above expressed were
correct.
The announcement that former Speaker
Of the House Ryan has decided NOT 10 be
candidate for reelection TO that posi-
ton has been received with qualification
by the friends here Of Hon. +. W. Saun-
ders, who is thus assured OF election to
the Speakership by reclamation.
1t was stated yesterday that Mr.. Look
abill. Of Roanoke. who desires an office
at the hands OF the state Is writing To
all the members-eect in Southwest Vir-
ginia. making a -barrelled request.
1t appears that Lookabill is a candidate
first for the position Of Superintendent Of
Public Printing, and in the event Of de-
feat for that place. he will aspire TO be-
come Register of the Land once.
Colonel Richardson. the present Regis
ter of Public Lands. is less concerned
about the candidacy Of Mr.. Lookabill and
the other candidate against him, Hon. j.
l. White. than he is about the perpetuity
OF the Office itself. Information received
here is 10 the effect that determined
effort will be made at the coming session
OF the Legislature to abolish the Office.
In connection with the prospective con-
test for the place OF reporter 10 the Su-
preme Court Of Appeals. left vacant by
the election OF Mr.. Burks. the incumbent.
to a Washington and Lee professorship.
IL is recalled that Hon. T.. w. Saunders.
member-elect 10 the House from Frank
lin county. and prospective speaker Of
that BODY was a candidate for the place
of reporter at the time of Mr.. Burks'
election. IL is not known whether Mr..
Saunders viii again be a candidate but
the office is considered a very desirable
one and it would not surprise Mr. Saund-
ers' friends here If he were TO enter the
race again The five Supreme Court
judges elect the reporter.
