The identity of about a zen of « these is definitely }known, and rumor places the num- | ber at a much higher figure.

None of the packers interviewed will being directly interested proposed merger, but nevertheless persists in sor quarters that the move has tl active backing of impertant inte ests now in the field who wouln be prominent in the new organiza tion. On the other hand, it seem logical to suppose that before ch: completion of the deal most or 2ii of those selling out would be vited to participate financ and some, indeed, assert that cash proposal is merely in the ture of a “feeler.” According to more or less def inite reports the projected finan-| cial structure has already becn | outlined and tentative arrange ments made for business c zation. The amount of capita tion could hardly be determined at this stage, though there are ail sorts of rumors_about it; it might casily be expected to amount to $20,000,000, or much more. The financing plan, in lin:, with current custom in merger of this nature, is believed to based on a relatively smail i of first mortgage bonds,«with a| larger proportion of preferred stock, accompanied by a com- paratively small issue of com- mon stock in which control operations would be vested The idea of such a consolidy tion seems to be very favorabiy received by the industry in gen-| eral, practically all of the pact-| ers interviewed on the subject| expressing hearty approval; though many would not consider participating on any terms likely . to be offered.

From the producing 'standpoint, moreover, many feel| that greater consoHdation of ac tivities will ultimately be neces- sary to overcome the evils of ex- cessive competition for raw ma- terial and superfluous duplica-| tion of equipment. { Some, on the other Mamd, aref whose records show them to bo ) desirable properties should be! worth more to the present opera- ! tors than they could be to others; | and point out that, even if good | prices are received for the proper- ties, it would be difficult, under | present financial - conditions, , for packers to find any other safe in- vestment that would bring them as good returns as are derived from canneries under their own management. g From present indications, it does not seem very likely that; the proposed merger will be con- | summatedg at least in the near future.
