H Leahy, secretary of the indus trial and statistical bureau of the At lanta Chamber of Commerce. S. M. Brookfield. Consul of the Br: - Ish Empire at Savannah. i.» tite au thor of the letter. He asked Air Leahy to furnish him with detailed information regarding the cla*; of machinery principally used In At lanta. and asked also that he be re ferred to a publication carrying com- pletc statements of the volume of machinery manufactured In Atlanta, together with a scale of prices At lanta manufacturers receive for their goodr. The presumption Is that Mr. Brook field will transmit the Information thus obtained to the manufacturers of (»reat Britain, particularly those w ho make machinery, and that the Em r ’. ih factories will then Inaugurate a silling campaign In Atlanta, meet ing the prices of the local factories by virtue of the removal of the tariff, and in many Instances perhaps un derselling the local / lants—or out side plants with local agencies. “The only inference that * an he drawn from the request of the Brit ish Consul,” said Mr. Leahy Thurs day, “Is that the manufacturers in England are planning an Invasion of Atlanta. “There could hardly be any othef reason for Mr. Brookfield w/anting tn know about the plus** of murhinerv used principally In this city, and the presumption is borne out also bv his request for information as to volume of business and prices "Whether .iuch an invasion would be successful is something, of course, that onlv time enn tell.” Rumors that emissaries of British manufacturing Interests have been active in Atlanta, seeking informa tion as to local business conditions and especially prices charmed to re tn,Hers and jobbers by local facto ries, have been heard in business cir cles for several weeks, and Mr. Brook- field’s letter appears to give the ru mors weight. 2.201,276 Tons Cotton Seed Crushed to Dec. 1 WASHINGTON.
