Many Rumors.

New York. Aug. 6.-The Journal OF
Commerce says While considerable
surprise was expressed over the fact
that several large interests identified
with the American Cotton oil company
has asked for deposits OF stock OF that
company, with the privilege of selling
the same, II does not appear that the
current report Of consolidation OF that
company with other cotton oil interests
is well founded. BY some the move
ment Is regarded as indicating that the
object of securing stock Is TO brlns
about an immediate consolidation with
the Virginia Carolina Chemical COM
pany. The latter company has already
secured the Southern Cotton OIL Co.,
the chief competitor OF the American.
and has also purchased in the neigh
borho0d of a score Of other cotton oil
properties. one report is that SlOO,-
600 900 consolidation is contemplated,
Apparently, however. such deal Is not
under way at this time. a person
closely connected with the American
Cotton oil Co., Is authority for the
statement that the proposed deposit OF
the stocks Of the company in the First
National bank OF New York was merely
to prevent control from passing 10
other interests This statement, how
ever. was given with the reservation
that It was impossible to tell what the
future might bring forth and that IL
the new combination offered a tempting
price. the control Of the American Cot
ton OF company might pass.
Some additional light may be thrown
on the situation today when the direc-
tors will hold their usual meeting. II
is understood that the proposition TO
deposit the stock at the First National
bank will come under discussion, and
II Is possible that a statement viii be
made. fully explaining the reasons for
its issuance This statement will prob
ably show that the pooling Of the stock
is for community OF action. Outside
OF New York interests the largest hold
ings Of stock In the company Is that OF
n. X. Fairbank & Co. OF Chicago.
