American Mailing People
Want Worcester Property.

The efforts of the American Mailing
Company to secure brewing
interests in Worcester are stin
going on. But the promoters
are preserving the greatest Sc
crecy in the movement
A combination of mailing interests
antasepiStic to the American is said to
be forming having in contempla ton the
purpose of fighting the so-called trust.
although the American Mailing Com
pany does not pretend to control the
business. Officials of the American say
that they do not fear the proposed move
as it will only result in Transforming
40 or so enemies into one, against which
1t will Dc easier to compete.
When the American Mailing Company
began to buy up opposition companies
it was severely criticised in financial
circles, the claim being that it was like
trying to bail out the Atlantic ocean
with tin dipper and that eventually
1t would bring the company to ruin, a la
Gfeenhut whisky trust, which, as VIII
be remembered, tried to buy up all COM
petitors.
In answer to this the American Malt
ing Company said that they were ae-
curing all concerns without increasing
the company's capital its earnings and
treasury stock having been applied TO
the purchase.
Ii has now developed that this is not
true. by the fact that the American
company, having just increased its pre-
ferred stock from S12,500, 900 to $14, 900, =
100 and its common from SIS, $50 600 to
l4,50O,000 1t now remains for the Of
hcials of the company to state what
this 81, 600 additional capital was for
II not for the purchase of other con-
Germs.
Promoter Scott, who represents the
American people, and who was in this
vicinity few weeks ago, was uncom-
munlcative on this point. But he was
very anxious to have some sort of a
conference with the Bowlers, leading
TO the securing of an option on the
property. He realized the possibilities
that confronted him in the Springfield
combine, that at the time were incom-
plete But all his advances to the
Bowlers were met with indifference,
particularly by Bowler Brothers,. He
received limitations enough. however.
to convince him that the other hold
ings in the property could be reached
by generous proposition, and 80 he
mas never AZ any time given up hope
| Of eliminating his scheme
man who could engineer such a
deal as Scott put through in the ANAL
gamation of the Pennsylvania brewer
| les was not to be easily discouraged.
Before he returned to New York he
secured promise from John Bowler
to call at his New York office at his
| earliest convenience. A few days later
Mr. Bowler started with his wife for
| Hot Springs and fulfilled his agree
ment with Mr., Scott by calling at his
Office But Mr.. Bowler still avoided
| discussing any propositions for an op-
| ton, and Mr.. Scott told him that he
should come to Worcester some time
during the following fortnight. MI.

IN THE GENERAL MARKET.

some industrial stocks are acting in
d way which might be called threaten
lhg TO the general market if they were
more generally held by commission
houses, put as rule they do not seem
to be widely distributed in loans. and
fof mat reason they do not cause as
ihuch dneaSiness as might otherwise
be the case. A better market is expect
ed as the week progresses.
A leading New York commission
mousse sends this circular TO its GUS
toners: The dealings in Sugar have
peen so large and excited during the
last few days, that the odd lot dealers
at times refused absolutely to trade in
anything less than 100 shares. While it
Is true that they have made trades
curing this period, II is only because
they happened to feel in the mood for
It, or have been able to do it at the
moment. There have been other times
sach DAY when they would not take
orders, and where they would not ac-
cept change of limit on orders all
ready given out. In view of this fact
we cannot, of course, be held respon-
side for any Losses incurred in such
fractional amounts of Sugar, but will
accept them with the pFoViso that we
viii do the best we can at the time re-
celVed. We think il advisable at the
moment to discourage trading in these
until prices again become normal.
Since the Burlington refunding bub-
Die burst that stock has declined about
10 points II is today in stronger po-
sition than 1t was then. or than it
would be had Wall streets plan been
accepted The stock will look specially
attractive again when the rights are
definitely announced, within a short
time, and will undoubtedly more than
recover the lost ground

pany C's outpost, stationed ecross the
track from their camp, was surprised
and driven in, but not before they had
chance to fire few volleys and thus
warn the camp. The company took up
its position behind the embankment Of
the railroad on their front and in the
trenches on their right and facing the
FLYER. and this position they held through
out the night, even after the insurgents
had broken through their. lines and taken
up positions in their rear.
The firing on their front was promptly
followed by a Hank and rear movement
by natives who were supposed to be
''omegos' friends) and who had been
allowed to occupy the town of Bacave Oh

the railway.
At the first alarm Company L had fall
en- in, and before midnight twenty-five
men under Lieut.. Mead were on the way
to the scene of trouble, and the rest Of
the company was left to protect the
camp. The night was black and MAJ.

had his hands full in placing the COM
pany to the best advantage. A great deal
of time was taken up in getting there,

prevent surprise or running Into any

finally occupied was to the left of Com
pany and small BODY oil OregOnS,

and successfully fought for five long

When the first welcome signs of day
put in an appearance the whole scene
changed, and instead of fighting to hold
our positions the boys went out and
over the trenches and drove everything
in front of them. The rset of the regi-
