This One• Bests Prices of Woodenware
-What It Mame to the Consumer.
'From The Toronto sue..
That those in control of trade com-
binations hold in atter contempt the
Low framed for the purpose of the sup-
pression of comhinec. ,and that they
feel absolutely safe in flouting those
charged with the responsibility of en-
forcing this law, has been once more
demonstrated within the last few
weeks. This demonstration has been
given by the formation of •'• other
combine --one controlling the ,ani-
Ateture of 1'. stolen pails, tube and
other lines of woodenware.
Another Uniform Price List.
1.-p to about the end of last year it
was possible for Invert; of these arti-
cles tet get competitive quotations
from different large factories. This is
so no longer. Their are now, as in
the rase of ruhb»•rs, uniform cata-
logues and %mitre n1 price lists; and
these price lists are uniformly higher
t hau th.j• were last year.
An Advance of a6c. and 42c.
The price ot 31-1h. pails has been
advanced by dIi per dozer) since the
combination wile formed : the quota-
tion for 60-11,. tubs has been putt up
42c. per doyen.
This is an exceedingly mt'rinu%
ur.ttter for every country storekeeper
who packet dairy butter in pails or
hilts; it imposes a still heavier tax on
the randy maker whose goods are
shipped in plaits; it is coped, in the
