To Form a Cereal Combine.

O. C. Barber, president of the Diamond Match company, is at work at Columbus, 0., upon a scheme to combine all the independent cereal mills of the country, and it is said that negotiations have already proceeded far enough to assure the success of the venture. The new combination will be a formidable competitor of the American Cereal company. The Akron Cereal company, whose plant is one of the largest in the country, is to be in the new combination. Mr. Barber’s plans also include the erection of a large mill at Barberton.
