Cotton mill trust to control Southern spinning interests
The Atlanta Constitution reports a major cotton mill trust planned under New Jersey law to own over sixty percent of Southern spinners. Owners would transfer property, take stock in the trust, and be paid in cash for cotton and goods. The move could depress raw cotton prices while raising material costs and spark widespread concern about industrial consolidation. The Albany Herald and Nashville American comment on the potential economic and political impact of such trusts.
