FLOUR TRUST coLLAPsEs
STATED THAT THE COMPANY
COULD NOT FLOAT ITS
SECUJRITIES
(By Telegraph 10 virginian- Pilot)

(By Telegraph 10 Virginiau- Pilot)
Milwaukee. Wis, Feb 26.-The United
States Milling Company. generally
known as the Flour Trust, collapsed
Saturday afternoon, but the fact did
not become known until to-day. when
Judge Jenkins, in proceedings ancil-
larry to the United States Court of New
Jersey. appointed three receivers for
the company, two of whom are now in
charge of the property. The collapse is
credited TO the company's inability to
float its securities on the open market.
The receivers are Daniel Thomas. of
New York: Charles e. Ilimblaa, of
Summit. N. J., and Albert c. I<orine
of Minneapolis. The same receivers
were appointed in Minnesota and New
Jersey.
II was formed last April and capt.
tallZed at $4,000, 600. Proceedings SINH
lar to to-day's will have to be institute
ed in every circuit court where the
company owns property The greatest
litigation will probably be In IViscon-
sin. as the majority of the company's
property is in this Stale. The company,
Mr.. Ballou's bill sets forth, will be
unable to meet any of its obligations as
they mature. Its cash in the bank is
about $1,000 and ii has no bills OH ac-
count receivable, the proceeds Of which
would be sufficient to meet the matured
and maturing obligations.
George Wilson Hallou, OF New Jer-
sey. the stakeholder who instituted the
suit. said to-day:
COULD NOT FLOAT ITS PAPER.
Because OF the tight money mar
ket and the depression in industrial
securities, the company was Obliged to
