Manufacturers' association controlling prices (6)

I believe the answer is:

cartel

(Other definitions for cartel that I've seen before include "trade body" , "trust" , "Market-controlling arrangement" , "controlling set of firms" , "Restrictive trade association" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
