COTTON MILL TRUST.
Twenty billions offered for the Full
River Mills.

New York. August 23.--The World says:
Two rival syndicates are bidding for the
purchase of all the print cloth and cotton
bale mills OF Fail river. Barrow. Wade,
Guthrie g. Co. of No. II Pine street,
representing English capitalists, have
offered $50 900, 600 for the 2.235, 3l2 spindies
OF the various mills. Nelson G. Green
has submitted "A proposition TO the treas
urers to pay more than the prices offered
by the English syndicate. Mr.. Green
represents John Il. Seares and Charles r..
Flint.
The fact that both syndicates are after
the mills has led stockholders to believe
that fancy prices may be secured and
many have announced their Willingness
to sell. The Searles- Flint syndicate Is
acting for the American Round Bale Cot
ton gin trust and the purchase of the
Fall river mills is the beginning OF the
plan absorbing all print mills in the Unit
ed States
Leading cotton cloth brokers in this city
believe tho cotton trust Will succeed in
el1ecting the consolidation OF the mills
under one general management. Already
efforts have been made by the Searles-
Flint syndicate to amalgamate the same
class OF mills in the South. The efforts
have been unsuccessful because Oh the
antitrust laws of Georgia, Mississippi
and Texas where the mills are located.
Cotton mills now extend from Maryland
to the cotton belt of Texas.
Nelson Green says that he expected to
hold options by Monday on all the mills.
j. b. Willard Is one of the largest brok
ers of cotton cloths in the city. Discuss
ing the matter. he said; THE consolida-
ton of the mills by trust will not be re-
ceived kindly by commission men The
formation of trust will be fought by the
Southern mills. The Fall River mills will
sell out Money can buy anything. hut
these same men will cross over into Rhdoe
Island and establish rev mills"
G.. II. Pope said; If the Fall River
mills are consolidated by the syndicate now

class of goods will be largely increased
New mills will be erected in Inc South and
