Wednesday,^u<?. 2, 1899. A COMPRESS COMBINE. Efforts to Organize a Trust to Fight Improvements. In view of the attacks upon the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company, and the cry of of "trust" against the manufac turers of the machine for making those bales raised by the owners of compresses and others the following letter, indicating a "cornbine" of a different sort, is ot peculiar interest. The letter was forwarded to the Atlanta Constitution by Richard Cheatham, editor of the Cotton Planter's Journal, of Memphis, Tenn. It is as follows : Nkw York, May 3, -1890.?Kxecutive Committee of the American Cotton Compress Company, 71 Broadway,?Dear Sir: It is proposed to consolidate by purchase or otherwise some of the most desirable compresses in the Southern States, provided such consolidation can Ire arranged on a conservative basis. "We are in consultation with the representatives of all the capitnl roriirml t'i?r tlm linuitincc . . wn..~ . are willing to take it up if it rati be put upon an attractive basis. "We desire to call your at ten tion to the fact that in order to meet the competition thai has arisen from the round bale system. it will be necessary for the compresses referred to to consolidate under one general management, fully able ami capable to reduce expenses by- improved methods, more uniform systems of compressing (aided by the adoption of the standard box), to obtain lower rates of insurance and secure lower rates of frejirlit to foreign and domestic points."We recognize .the advantages both to you and to us of utilizing your personal 'influence in the new business, as well as youi plant, but at I lie same time wc feel confident that unless a consolidation can be arranged on an obviously economical basis, w? may not be able fn the long run to successfully compete with tin round bale systems <>r with othei new compresses winch nfay coiiu into t he field". "If it is your desire to sell youi press property at a reasonable price, please be kind enough tr answer the list of (jiiestions en closed and also sign the optior enclosed. *, m i /' * - - - * i ne information received wil bo strictly confidential and noi disclosed to any one else in tin business of compressing cotton except with your consent. "As there are over two hun dred compresses, artd as it will re quire considerable time and laboi to send a committee to exatnim these properties and books aiu make all proper arrangements, ii is therefore necessary that t Ik option shall hold good for not less than six months from the date o your signing. "Unless we hear from you with -4 in two weeks of this date we shall 1 consider that you are not (lis i posed to entor into the proposed consolidation. Awaiting your re r ply, we are yours truly, Henry C. Knubel, For Executive Committee. ; ......? CONSTERN ATION AT NEWPORT; NEWS. Yellow Fever Breaks Out in Soldiers Home at llainptoii.
