NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-The Times says: ' Negotiations for tho consolidation of tho Greenbottle glass Interests In the' United States, east of the Allegheny mountains, which have been In progress for nearly a year, have reached a point where more decisive results are expected within a few weeks at the Inteat The opinion In trade circles Is that a consoli dation will be effected and that about llfty factories will pass under the control of nn English syndicate with a capital of about six million dollars. Tho only local concern involved In the transaction Is the Bushwlok Glass Works ot Brooklyn, of which William Brookflcld Is proprietor. A stock company was or ganised recently to conduct this factory, but Mr. Brookflcld remains In full con trol, Tho concern Is capitalised at $400, WO. represented by JliO.OUO of Block and of bonds. It has four furnaces and employs about 4j0 men when In full oper ation. It was learned yesterday at th ofllce of Mr. Brooklleld that ho was ap nroachod several months ao by I. V. Morrison, tho agent of tho British syndi cate, which Is endeavoring to bring about tho proposed1 consolidation of Interests. Mr. lirookllold declined to give an option on his property, but named a price at which ho would sell the plant. Little more was heard of the matter for some time, tout recently Bushwlok appeared and negotiations were ' commenced with Mr. Itrookflold. Mr. Brooktlold has stead fastly declined to sign any option agree ment, but Is still willing to dispose of his plant ot what he considers a fair value. Mr. Morrison, the agent of tho syndicate, has spent most of his time In Philadel phia, where the main offices of the prin- flpal grnjottle manufacturers are lo cated. Most of tha factories art In southern New Jersey. Tha agent haa spent year's tlirw and considerable money. It Is said. In pushing tha project, and the srvrgy and persistence which ha has dla. played lead those who are familiar with the negotiation to the belief that tbey will not be dropped now. It Is said that the manufacturers art favorably Inclined toward tha proposition, and there has been much cutting of prices and conse quent loss of prviits. The first effort of the syndicate were devoted to obtaining options on the var ious plants. These were secured In most cases, but tbey expired before the Intend ing purchasers were raady to act. A new act of options haa now been obtained and they will expire within a short time, be fore which it is expected the purchase will be completed.

S6S feet: beam, extreme. 72 feel 2V4 Inches: maximum displacement, all ammunition and stores on board. 1S.2S tons; maximum Indlmted horse-power, (estimated) W.OuO; probable speed. IK1 knots.
