TRUST ON ISTHMUS
CANAL COMMISSION FINDS IT.

SION COMBINE.

Washington, Aug. 8. - Provision
trusts and combinations in the 18TH
milan canal zone succeeded In increas-
ing the price of meats, vegetables and
fruits more than 100 per cent and
forced the isthmian canal commission
to pass a resolution at q recent meet
ing enabling its agents to buy supplies
In the open market and without ad-
vertising for bids.
Members of the commission say
they discovered that all the dealers in
provisions who had sufficient capital
TO furnish the bond required of bid
ders on supplies had pooled their in
terests and cornered the contracts for
all vegetables, meats and fruits re-
quired for the commissions hotels
and messes. The combination was in
a position to demand prohibitive
prices and the commission was forced
to change its methods and enable
small dealers and producers to COM
pete for the business.
AS safeguard the commission res
olution provides that not more than
$500 worth of supplies is to be bought
daily in the open market without ask
ing for bids This limits the pur-
chases in open market to perishable
provisions.
