new ANTITRUST PLANT
COLUMBIA CLAY PRODUCT COMPANY
FORMED BY INDIANAPOLIS MEN.
Has Capital of 100000, and VIII
Operate in Parke County, Near
Rockville.

The incorporation Of the Columbia Clay
Product Company by Indianapolis men last
week is understood TO be a complete effort
to begin competition with the National
Fire Proohng Company, Of New York.
which is known as the ireproof tile and
clay conduit trust 1t has a capital OF s12,-
500 900. and has twenty-one operating plants
The Columbia company has a capital OF
100000. 1t was organized by Frank Kes-
sing. for many years a contractor here but
who has for nearly ten years been New
York agent for the fireproof trust. Mr..
Kessing played 8 large part in organizing
this trust.
The Columbia company has secured
ninety acres of land near Rockville. Parke
county. and will proceed to build a factory.
The land is clay and shale. underneath
which is a large deposit of soft coal. This
coal will be taken to operate the factory.
which will have when completed about
twenty-five kilns. The company VIII man
ufacture hollow fireproof thing and hollow
conduits. Mr.. Kessing, it is understood,
will have charge of the manufacturing
plant His previous connection with the
trust is expected to be a big thing for the
company, as he knows the trade thor
oughly.
Rockville people are much interested in
the new plant it will be the third anti
trust plant. There is one that makes fire.
proof tile exclusively at Chattanooga and
the McRoy plant which makes conduits
at Brazil. The demand for fireproof thing
and conduts is large that the trust is
some distance behind in it's orders, and
there is constantly increasing field for the
use of these materials. The plant will have
a capacity Of about $50 tons day and the
supply of clay and shale is abundant for
the needs of the factory for a long time.
The economy of the business is found in the
fact that both the material needed for
manufacturing and the fuel for the plant
are taken from the same spot This is re-
garded as a big advantage for Western
business and will put the products in the
New York market on even terms with those
made in the East.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
RATHER DULL WEEK EXCEPT IN
THE GROCERY LINE.
Large Supplies of Fruits and Vegeta-
bies-PrOduce Continues Strong
the Markets for Cereals.

Taken as whole. the period ended Aug.
16 was an off week in trade circles, several
things combining to make ii so. On Com
mission row there were homegrown fruit
and vegetables to compete with. and s0
many people are away on vacations that ii
curtails business with the retail ller-
chants and is reflected to the commission
merchants, cutting down their volume OF
business. Prices are seldom as low on
fruits and vegetables al the present
time. and the consumption is quite large,
despite unfavorable conditions The prod
uce markets are a surprise, poultry and
eggs being fast movers at the highest fig
ures ever known in the market in August.
Choice butter is readily disposed of at good
prices. Cheese is firm. but is in great de-
mand. Flour is much easier, the lower
grades being weak at the reductions of
Saturday morning, and so large is the
wheat crop that an early improvement is
not at all probable. Merchants who have
the call are the wholesale grocers, their
business being at high tide. Farmers are
prosperous and are liberal buyers % staple
and fancy groceries, and prices rule firm in
all lines. Druggists are also quite busy. as
are the hardware and iron dealers. With
the dry goods houses the boot and shoe
merchants and milliners ii is quiet times,
and will be for two weeks TO come, when

BY LOCAL LINES LAST WEEK.

trio Power on short Lines.

The train records show that there were
492 more laoded cars handled at this point
in the week ended Aug. 10 than in the week
preceding. While this is not as large an in

manufacturers still heavy shippers. The
train records show that there were re-

against 19, 1923 loaded cars in 1900, follows:
