DIVIDED BUSINESS.
Mr. D. N. Dunlop, director of the British Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association, admitted -the existence of an arrangement to divide business in this country between the manufacturers of the class of machinery, required by the railway company; .The question arises whether the quotations, which it may be assumed are mutually agreed between the tenderers, are'reasonable. Their similarity need not be considered unreasonable although they have been so 'described by certain municipal engineers. Indeed, as standardisation progresses, so are prices likely to become more nearly uniform. Judging by the balance-sheets of the electrical manufacturing concerns no exorbitant profits are being made on the sale of plant, but on the other hand the electricity supply organisation! who buy and use the plant appear to do fairly well.
