g LONDON. Oct 10.--A great combina-
ton Of cotton mills is impending and
Lancashire cotton circles are watching
with keen interest the operations Of two
syndicates. one in Manchester. the other
In London. Both have been buying, at
sxtravagant prices, the mills engaged in
spinning Egyptian cotton. .... 49,. -,
The Manchester organization is he.
lieved TO have for Its aim the rivalline of
the fine spinners combine, but the Lon
don combine, which has practically un-
limited capital ~; it's command, has al
ready obtained more mills than the Nam
chester combine.
The personnel Of the Manchester or
ganlzation has not been disclosed. The
London syndicate includes Mallaby
Deeley. who purchased Covent Garden
from the Duke of Bedford and resold it
immediately at a big profit; Solly Joel,
the South African financier, and James
White, promoter Of many big real estate
deals ..... .-... g.,
The methods of both combinations re-
call the formation OF the United States
a Steel Corporation. The prices paid for
the mills are explainable only on the
theory that the price Of cotton will con-
unue 10 increase after the war. The
prices paid for some of the mills are de-
olared by practical cotton men to have
been simply bewildering, one mill bring
Ing three times the amount for which Il
was sold n few months previously. For
another mill which Mt best never earned
more than per cent. the syndicate
paid q price which will require a tripled
capacity TO return that amount of In
terest. ...
The expectations OF the syndicates
have every prospect of being realized.
The short supplies OF American cotton.
due to the taking over OF transports for
army purposes, has resulted in largely
increased use of Egyptian cotton. con-
sumption of which has doubled over pre-
war quantities. while American ship.
ments have been less than half of the
weekly needs. Present stocks of Amer.
lean cotton in the warehouses are hardly
more than one weeks supply.
This Cotton Control Board has APP
pealed to the Ministry of Shipping for
additional tonnage. but this Is not avail
able at present. In the meantime the
price of cotton 10 steadily increasing.
