final up state tour, speaking in several
cities along the line of the New York

was Confined by Frederick sulzberger
OF the firm Of Schvarzclild Il suIz-
berger.
While declining to enter into a dis
cussion of the matter, Mr.. slllzberger
said that his packing house had been
invited 70 join, but had absolutely re-
fused to be party to the merger. The
sehwaFzchild u SuIzberger company
taISes this stand because such d merger
could only be operated ii direct yio-
lation of the antitrust law.
Through one Of the most prominent
bankers Of this city it was learned
that an attempt had been made TO OBJ
tain the S500,00o,000 in this city to
finance the merger on the proposition
that the holding company would move
to London for charter purposes.
Impossible, Say Bankers.
For business reasons not one New
York banker familiar with the scheme
of consolidation of American packing
plants would permit the use of his
name. That bankers here are amazed
at the andacity of the promoters is
shown by the fact that four Of the
most prominent bankers of this city
held conference on the matter. They
agreed that it would be impossible to
form legal packing combination in
this country.
= cannot see said one of these gen
tIelnen, how the careful English bank
ers would invest in an unlawful
Scheme which has been turned down
by the most prominent bankers of New
York, because we are aware that nei-
ther the goyarnment nor the people
will tolerate such a trust, even though
It should be run through the English
holding company.
Injunction In the Way.
Eve bankers of New York have not
forgotten that Judge Grosscup's in
junction, issued in Chicago, is still in
force and strictly forbids any move Of
this kind.

GENERAL E. S. BRAGG.

The senate of the United States
passed a bill granting a pension of $50
month to General Edward S. Bragg
of Wisconsin. General Bragg has re-
Gently retired as consul at HOngkOng,
and the granting of his pension prob
ably marks the final act of his country
to provide for man whose career in
war and peace has been most credit
| able to his manhood and valuable to
| the rising generation.
OF General Bragg it has been said
that during his congressional service
he was regarded as one of the most
dangerous antagonists in debate in
the house. He had few equals in his
power of acrimonious retort and in
vective. Although he was an intense
| ly partisan democrat, he never could
be counted upon to vote with his par
| ty. In this way his biographer has re-
corded the fact that the bosses could
not hold him.
General Bragg is the man who took
a raw regiment and converted it into
what was known in the war as the
Iron Brigade" He is the man who
in seconding the nomination of Grover
| Cleveland for president in 1884, de-
clared that the people loved him for
| the enemies he had made. This pointed
allusion to the troubles between Cleve-
| land and Tammany during Cleveland's
term as governor of New York first
| brought that Tammany before the
country in an inglorious light. 1t never
| recovered from the reputation given it
| by this one epigram. 1t broke Tam
| many as a force in national politics.
Thenceforward no candidate could
hope to go into a winning fight for a
presidential nomination with the &C
it in 1892 and made a sad exhibition of
moral impotency before the country
| Cleveland walked off with the nomi-
nation without a delegate from his own
state. In 1896 Bryan obtained the NOM
ination without any help from Tam
many, and afterward weakened his
cause by sitting cheek by jowl with
Croker in Madison Square garden.
| General Bragg simply had the in
sight which taught him that Tam
many was not the sort of organization
which wins the masses in the agricul-
tural states. When he exploded his
epigram sincere friends of Cleveland
trembled, but the outcome showed that
for every vote he stood to lose by it
in New York he gained five in the
granger states.

CORNERING FOOD PRODUCTS.

| Financial New York is interested in
the report that one of the big trust
companies that loaned $4,000 to a
MARYLAND firm and took $4,000 cases of
tomatoes for security, has notified the
borrowers to pay back the money or
the collateral will be sold out This
| is the second adverse move in the
affairs of the 100000 tomato syndi-
cate that planned to corner or at least
control the market. The first bad fea-
ture was the calling in of a loan by a
Baltimore bank The borrowers failed
to respond promptly and the bank sold
out 10000 cases and broke the price
from above the dollar line to 80 cents.
1t is still possible the syndicate may
pull through. Prompt payment of loans
now pressing would give a new lease
of life. and the enlistment of new cap
ital might make the deal a success, but
according to New York advices the
syndicate is in position to go on the
rocks unless the wind shifts.
Everyone in the trade is figuring
upon the possibility of a smash hence
it is hard to find round-lOt buyers even
DIT pIl hIlo"l " NC iSdSolio1OiC ICio-
tive to supply and demand. All big
buyers for consumption seem to be
playing hold-off game in hope that
there will be a smash, and they will
get some cheap tomatoes on forced
sales.
The syndicate is said to hold about
2000,0 900 cases. There was a profit at
one time-on paper. But to turn the
gods into cash at the profit prices
was not so easy. Now it is feared
that in case the banks continue call
ing loans and selling out the tomatoes
the market will fall below the prices
paid by the syndicate.
The cornering of a food product is
much simpler in the figuring out on
paper than in the actual operation
Letter. who cOrnered wheat, had i'm
mense paper profits at one time, but
his was a bad finish. Nearly every
thing has been cornered at one time
or another, including corn, oats, bar
ley, coffee, copper, flax and numerous
other commodities. Failure attended
these operations more often than sue
cess. Slower and more methodical
work of the Standard Oil kind seems
the safest and surest way of getting
the peoples money.
