Slowly but surely is the commercial
sphere being lined by iron-clad trusts.
The latest TO enter the field is the great
cracker syndicate which, despite the de-
malls of the proprietors and the managers
Of Pacific Coast cracker companies, is
now being organized and Will be con-
sUmmated within the next few days. It
will be a Pacific Coast syndicate, with
the capital furnished by New York finan-
ciers, and its aim is 10 end for all time
competition in cracker manufacturing on
this coast.
The formation of the cracker trust has
been in process for several months, but
not until a few days ago had affairs
reached such a state as to assure its con
summation. Within a week the cracker
plants IN San Francisco and in all other
large cities of the coast will pass out of
the hands of their present owners and
become the property of the syndicate
which Will be known as the Pacific Coast
Cracker Company. From Puget Sound
TO the Gulf of California the cracker in
dustry Will then be in the hands of the
syndicate.
OF this trust have been and are being
guarded is eYinced by the denials of all
coast cracker company managers. Man
aSer Dunn OF the American Biscuit Com
pany, the largest cracker mandatory
on the Pacific Coast, asserts IN positive
terms that no such thing as a Pacific
Coast cracker trust exists or is in pro-
cess of formation. Surely if such com
biuatiOn was q fact / would know of il. -
he said. When asked whether there was
any strong likelihood of an immediate
consolidation under the control OF a large
Eastern syndicate, Mr.. Dunn became non
COmmittal, saying evasively that the ten
dency of the times was toward trusts
That was all he would admit.
The proprietors Of the Standard Cracker
Company exhibited the same disinClina-
tion TO say anything. and although they
must know that everything is in readi-
ness for the finishing touches on this
great corporate structure. they StanChly
deny any such knowledge.
r c. Pell, the manager Of The Portland
tends utter ignorance of any trust
scheme.
The capital OF the syndicate will be be
tween s. 900 coo and SO 900 600. The plants
which the syndicate VIII absorb viii be
bought outright and the purchase price
paid in d lump sum. The factories in
this city that Will lose their identity as
independent corporations are the Ameri-
can Biscuit Company, the Standard
Cracker Company the Eclipse Cracker
Company, the Portland Cracker Com
pany, the Eagle Cracker Company and a
few plants of lesser Importance With
these Will be joined the leading manufac-
tories in Spokane. Portland, Seattle, Los
Angeles. Sacramento and Stockton.
With so many plants under its control
the syndicate will he in position to reg

John L. Sullivan Contends That a

The most absurd question asked yester-

championship contest which will be held
this evening in Woodward's Pavilion was,
"Who will win the fight?
Any person who can answer this ques-

A CAPITALIST MLSLAID.
Lives in Savannah, and Griffin
Would Like to Hear From Him.

Lives in Savannah, and Griffin
would Like to Hear From Him.
Griffin, Ga, Dec. 12.-That Griffin
has an opportunity Of securing another
100000 cotton factory is received with
great satisfaction. During the recent
Confederate Veterans reunion in Savannah
one of the Griffin delegation was in CONVEX
satfon with a Savannah gentleman who
wished TO know if there was
any chance of buying stock
in the Griffin cotton factories.
He was informed that such thing was
impossible. He then stated that he would
like to invest about $4,000 in cotton fac
tory in Griffin.
The delegate on his return home was
telling this to a local newspaper reporter
and the interview was published
This started the ball to rolling. and sew

several thousand dollars 70 meet the Sa-
vannah gentleman's offer.
But before they had finished their sub
scription list, a letter was received from
Atlanta stating that a certain capitalist
of that city would put 10000 against the
previously subscribed $4,000 and erect
100000 cotton factory in Griffin. This
news was received with delight for the
prospects of another large cotton factory
meant much for our city.
But a stumbling stone was met. The adj
dress of the Savannah man had never
been mentioned, and when a tcommittee
called upon the delegate who, by the
way. is a large stockholder and secretary
aud treasurer of one OF our mills), he re-
fused 10 divulge his secret, thereby using

factory IN Griffin and will write the ed

a few facts and figures that may be Of
interest TO him.
Griffin will subscribe. 1t is claimed, at
least $4,000 or more, and II the two out
side capitalists Will back their assertion
