CONSOLIDATION OF SOUTHERN

eathered here to-day to consider proposition
presented by F. NJ. Underwood. of New york
civ looking to the formation of big cot
TON mill combina ton, with a proposed capltai
of $50 100000 A careful hearing was given 10
Mr. Underwood whose plan is to form big
stock company allowing each mill entering so
much stock based on it's capitalization
President J. H. MacAden Of the Southern
Cotton Spinners' Association says that Mr.. IN
derwood's proposition is plausible. However,
the southern warn men are conservative, ana
before anv definite action can be taken each
cotton mill proposing to enter the merger VIII
have 70 cali a meeting of its stockholders to
consider the scheme
II is understood that Mr.. Underwood proposes
70 allow TO each mill taking stock about two
and half times its capital stock thus creating
Ia rye proportion of watered stock.
The conclusion drawn from to-days meeting
;e that the affair is yet matter of uncertainty.
However mill men who manufacture yarns say
that no profits being made now, and they
will consider anything that promises an i'm
nroyement in present conditions. Ninety six
mills were represented.
