New Youk, April 13.—Reports have been current for some duys on the sugar market that u combivation has been formed between the sugar trust, all the eastern refiners and the Wholesale Girocers association to acquire complete coutral of the sugar trade, Itis known that negotiations have been pending between independent refiners, the sugar trust, and the wholesale dealers to handle all sugar refined in this country and boycott the ro- fined sugars of foreign countries, So far the deal has resulted only in an association of tho rofiners. It was stated today that Claus Spreckles, E. C. Knight, Harrison & Frazer, and all the fudependent sugar refiners have entered into an agrooment with the trust to work in harmony with its managers and pro- duce only their pro rata sharo of the entire production, which will be limited to sales made in ndvance by wholesate grocers, One of the largest sugar dealers in the city said in reference to the agreement: *Ro- finers are now making a profit of ouly 1-15 of a cent per pound on sugar handled by them. are restricted to this profit because at 4 of a cent per pound between the cost of re- fined ana tho selling price foreign beet sugar would come to the market in_such quantities as to prevent the placing of the product of American refiners.” Today telegrams were received asking for quotations in (ierman beet sugar, and that article, favored as it is by a high bounty to the producer from the German government, is looming up promptly as & menuce to thé refining business here. There will be no at- tempt to boveott it, however, but individual rofiners and the trust, working together, will take whatever steps they deem necessary to prevent it or any other foreign refined sugar finding a market here. —~— New York Presbytery.

The Early Dissolution of the Western Traffic Association Predictedss Denver Strikers Not Sustamned by Other Trainmen, Cricago, April 18.—A new phaso of the controversy botween tho Alton and eastern lines on the commission question is intro- duced in a circular issued today by the passenger department of the Alton. Itis addressed to all connections and contains all the correspondence on the subject. An in- teresting feature is a copy of a lettor signed by General Solicitor Brown of the Alton, de- claring that, in his opinion, a number of rail- way companies have no legal right to com- bino together and take concerted action to in- terrupt the business of the Alton as a penalty of its rofusal to enter into any contract with them. Such a combination amounts in law to conspiracy. He suggests that it will be well for the management to notify each boy- cotting line of the purose of the Alton tohold them legally responsible for the consequences of their action. (General Passenger Agent Charlton notifies them accordingly that they will bo held responsible for any damago which may result. It romains to be seen what eastern roads have to say to this argumont. It 1s rumored in railrond circles thaé the Missouri Pacific will not be represented at tho meeting of the advisory board of tho Western Traflic association tomorrow, as Jay Gould is in the southwest and Vice Presi- dent Clark in Oregon.
