The Preference shares had been reduced in value £i a piece, with a loss to those who hold them of £200,000. On the Ordinary phares it was impossible to say what was the loss.

any question of a combination. Mr. I ever ex- plained the steps taken by the firm to let every- one know about the redaction of the sixteen ounce unscented so19 to filieen. The first de- livary of the fifteen ounce soap was in Septem. ber 25. At a meeting of so tpmakers in August it was agreed to raise the price of soap to the retailers to the figure at which it stood in 1994. Witness pointed out as one of the meetings that steps should be taken to do away with the insane and frenzied competition. When low pricee of raw material prevailed, the margin on soap allowed for a good deal of advertising. He suggested they should alt come togather and by an exchange of shares in each other's companies effect an arrangement, under which all jealousy and strife would cease.
O RAISING OF PRICES,
Mr. Horridge: Was the subsequent arrango: meat made with the view of raising prices?
Witness; It was made entirely with the view of avoiding that. He was entiraly opposed (went on Mr. Lever) to the farm uion of any thing like the Salt Union His opinion was that it was absolutely futile to discuss the formation of a Soap Unlos. There were no dismissals of workmen at Port Funlight as the rault of the arrangement with other soap. makers.
