THE cotton oil trust. ITS ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENT STRENGTH. Its Ways of Dealing With Mill Owners Who Will Not Come to Terms —Claim Made in Its Behalf That It Has Sys tematized the Business and is a Good Thing for the Producer—The Men in the Newly Organized Opposition Company —540,000,000 Out in Cer tificates. From the Chicago Tribune. The suit recently brought in New Orleans against the American Cotton Oil Trust for various extortionate and illegal acts calls re newed attention to a comparatively new branch of business and one concerning which the public has little knowledge. The use of cotton-seed for making food for man and beast and fertilizers for the earth is the creation of a great source of wealth which has until recent years been almost entirely neglected. Millions of dollar's are now real ised every year from a substance which has heretofore run to waste, and the isdustry is in its infancy. The control of this industry is now mainly in the hands of this one company, and there is a very natural fear that its further devel opment will be impeded, that the planters will not receive a fair compensation for their seed, and that the people will not de rive all the benefit they should from this im portant product of the soil. The officials of the Cotton Oil Trust claim that they are pursuing a perfectly legitimate course—that thev are doing nothing but what any honor able business man would do in the conduct of his affaire. At the same time some of them admit that all the tremendous power of the company’s capital is used to drive men of moderate means from the industry, Thev avow that, wherever they see a section of the couifb y of which they wish to obtain control, they propose to buy out the mills in operation there, and if the owners wall not sell they will come in themselves, bid up the price of seed to a point where there is no profit in the industry, and finally force the local manufacturers to sell to them or leave. "This,” say the opjiosition manu facturers, “is conspiracy and tyranny of the strong over the weak, and if there is any remedy in the laws we will have it.” “It is not conspiracy,” replies the Trust, “but a policy such as any business man pur sues, using all the ad vantage that his wealth and position give him in his competition with others.” There is a great deal of hard feehng against the Trust all through the South on account of its grasping policy, but hereto fore there has been no successful resistance, and it may almost be said that the organi zation can get hold of any mill it want': on terms favorable to itself. However bitter the owners of any mill may be, they will aot run the risk of utter ruin in resisting this powerful enemy. The Trust will leave tiie owner of a mill half a loaf in the shape of the superintendency of the property un der its supervision, and will pay him a mod erate price for liis plant. This he considers better than having his works closed and his busiiiass destroyed utterly. There are not far from 150 mills and re fineries hi the South, of which about four fifths belong to the American Cotton Oil Trust. The se mills are to be found in every Btate where cotton is raised, and some ef forts have been made to establish works in the Northern States, but with little success. It is not to be understood that all these nulls are in operation. Only three of the seven in New Orleans are now open, and there are many small ones at obscure points which have been closed for a long time. Closing mills and keeping down the supply of the produet is one of the methods of maintaining the price of oil. The Trust also buys part of the output of the opposi tion mills from time to time for the same purpose. It appears, therefore, that the outsiders si ill have some influence on the market, though the Trust claims that it does not want to buy any more mills. Of the eleven mills in Memphis five are gener ally said to be outside the combination, but it is known that the Trust owns some of the stock of these concerns and is gradually ac quiring more. Advantage is taken of every little reverse in the business for this pur pose. A number of the stockholders of the outside mills in Memphis have recently sold out because they thought it W'as of no use to resist. This policy is the same that has been pur sued from the organization of the Trust, in September, ISB-I. The officials state that the enterprise was undertaken for the purpose of systematizing a business which had been conducted entirely without regard to busi ness rules, and which had become demoral ized by the reckless comjietition of those en gaged in it. The first experiments in the manufacture of cotton oil were made in 1832 or 1833, but they resulted very unsatisfacto | y. in 1847 Frederick Good began in the I usmess near New Orleans and spent .$12,0X). ■ id he now has to show for it is a small vial of 1,1 '• There are men in the business who started twenty and thirty yean ago, but ■iiey state that nothing was accomplished •11 after the war. Almost everybody who went into it lost money, and of course the " ju-completed the ruin. After the armies tclt the field there was a revival of the in tV yl amt some money was made, but the ntetaods wore crude, competition for the j(1 ran high, and the sale of the product as difficult because its value was not uu lerstood by the people. The business had ■ts ups and downs till 1882, when the best pulls, such as those in Memphis and New p Means, were [laying good dividends and -ae stocks were selling above pur. In 1883 itte manufacturers got into an eager com jetmon for the seed, and the price was run . i., a 1011 or more. This, it is claimed, .s •>'more than the mills could pay and Iveff/ out ot th® manufacture.

Certain it is that as an enterprise whose object is profit it is in better condi tion than ever before. The stock was issued as low as S2O a share in payment for mills at first, and it is now above SSO. Insiders say it matters not to them whether the certificates sell at $25 or $75 a share. They are keeping the stock for what it will pay in dividends. The Trust, w'liich is not an incorporated body, builds no mills, all construction being in charge of the American Cotton Oil Com pany, which has charters in the States where the concern is operating. Tiie people in tho enterprise deny with great emphasis that they antagonize the in terests of the planters. 'lt is even declared that there is a scheme on foot for admitting that class of people to a share in the profits of the cotton oil industry, the amount going to each planter being proportioned to tho quantity of seed he sells to the Trust. It is asserted, too, that the Trust by its system atization of the business has made a stable market for the seed. Before the organiza tion was formed the planter never could tell what he would get for his product. Sometimes it was worth sls a ton, and sometimes it could not be sold on any terms. Against all such claims as this it is charged that the Trust oppresses tho planters; that it stands in the way of improvements in machinery and methods; that it prevents a rapid increase in the consumption of the oil, and that in general its policy is tyran nical, selfish and obstructive. It cannot be said that there is any great confidence in the company recently formed in Philadelphia to run an opposition to the American Cotton Oil Trust. Even the com panies opixised to the Trust are suspicious of it. The alleged paid-up capital of the new concern is $4,(XX),000, of which Henry C. Butcher, of Philadelphia, takes $1,000,000; William S. Harvey, of Philadelphia, SS(X),- 0iX); John Oliver, of Columbia, S. C., $1,000,000; Frederick Oliver, of Colum bia, S. C., $000,000; David A. Tomp kins, of Charlotte, N. C., $400,000; and Alvin C. Newland, of Camden, N. J., $500,000. These men were all connected with the firm of Washington Butcher’s Sons, of Philadelphia, till that concern sold out to the Trust a tew months ago, except the Oli vers, who not long since sold their mills in the Carolina* to the same concern. It m as serted that these people arc too poor to carry out any such enterprise. Tho connection of P. D. Armour, ot Chicago, with this affair is believed to have been made for effect on the stock market and the price of oil. The owner of one of the opposition mills in New Orleans says: “Armour used to haveacon tract with the Trust for oil on favorable terms, but before it ran out the Trust had bought the business of N. K. Fnirbank. This placed Mr. Armour in an embarrassing position, and he took his revenge by raiding the certificates in Wall street. It is believed that his rela tions with tho Trust have now' been set to rights. He was our last hope, and I suppose we shall have to submit to tho oppression of the Trust with as good grace as possible.” Officers of the Trust say that the noise made in organizing tlio new company does not look like business. They deny that these people have machinery that is better than that owned by the Trust. A company was recently formed at Vicks burg for the purpose of preparing cotton-seed for exportation by re moving the lint from the shell by the Craw ford process, and there is talk of a company In New Orleans with a capital of $1,000,000 to make oil from the seed prepared by this method. The best oil has, however, here tofore been made by a process that removes the lint and shell together. The success of this undertaking is therefore problemati cal On the whole, the grip of the American Cotton Oil Trust on this important and grow ing industry is very firm. Such suits as that recently brought in New Orleans do not usually avail much, and individuals will not make an attack on so powerful an organiza tion unless they see a prospect of profit. It is believed that the ruling spirits of the Cot ton Oil Trust are largely the same as those of the Standard Oil Company, which has demonstrated its ability in the way of creating a monopoly. The tremendous public sentiment against such combinations will, however, have some effect. It will at least show these enterprising gentlemen that there is a point beyond which it is not safe to go in their effort to control the en tire cotton oil interest of this country.” EYES ANALYZED. What Qualities of Temperament should Go With the Black, Brown, and Blue. fYorn the St. James Gazette. Speaking popularly, we may say that eyes . are brown, blue, gray, hazel, black, green or of no color at all. The last three varieties, however, are based on misnomer. Speaking generally again, we may say that blue eyes take care of their friends, brown of their enemies, gray of their countries, black of their pleasures, and green of themselves. The blue is certainly the type with the great est number of varieties. It is a color that illustrates pre-eminently the feminine qual ities—tenderness, affection, a yielding to the wishes of others, a sympathy with small sufferings, that measure of vanity without which no woman can be entirely attreative, and that self-surrender which goes far to persuade a man that he is a demigod because liis wife believes it and tells him so. The color seems to be getting more rare in those days. This is the blue that goes with golden hair. Blue eyes must be mated with their appropriate complexion. That color, so fascinating in a blonde, is no less delightful in a brunette; but—say the scientists —its meaning is now alteredr. There comes in now, coupled with the affectionate qualities, n certain tendency to deceive, stimulated by an ambition for conquest and hading to the gratification of admiration. There remain the light blue and the violet. The first is the eye of the Northern races—of the Swedes and the Danes, of the Scotch sometimes also. It suggests constancy and truth, steadfast ness, simplicity, courage, purpose. It is a man’s eye, with its moderation and self-re speet —honest in the glance it gives you, if at the same time rather cold and phlegmatic. And then there is the violet eve, which is a woman’s eye, and of which the main char acteristics ore affection mid purity, chlvalric belief and limited or deficient intellectual ity. And now come the brown eyes. They are the eyes of the south and of the east—of the sunny races; the most passionate and the least original, and to them licking the lus trous black hair and tlu olive complexion of slnn. With their, we get jealousy and cruelty, somewhat of the feline nature ill women; and in men, courage coupled with superstition, j a wild recklessness of life, and a disregard | for the sufferings of other.. But the type has altered through infinite modifications; and. there are brown eyes in plenty that have nothing in common tli th • ptesionate qualities of the south. Tins may be gener ally predicted: t hat a hen tile brown is light the disposition is affectionate but wayward, and ns that brown darkens you pass from affection to pa-ohm. Last comes the haze! eyes, which arc more frequent in novels than in life*. No two |K<ople seem quite agreed a. to the definition ot the color, and the reference to a hazel nut, which starts by being green, and passes thivugh yellow "to brown, confusingly illu strates every theory. A blne-gruy radiated from within with brown and bronze streaks seems to come nearest tho general view.
