Tbe combine is to be on the plan of tbe American Harvester Com pany trust, each mill losing its identity in tbe general concern, tbe capital stock of which will be several millions of dollars. As the trust will use immense quantities of grain, it is expected tbey will be able to control the prices in certain cereals, while by running certain mills with great economy, they will be able to make a large profit, and still keep the prices of tbeir product down. It is said that the general offices of the combine will be lo cated here. SETTLING THE DUEBEE FAIItTBE. A Conference Between the Company and Creditors 'Will Trobably Do It. rEFECIXI.
