FRAUD IN sueARs.-W are requested
to copy The following from the circular
Of the LIST inst, of Straight, Demiug &
Co., of Cincinnati
The trade in "sweets" this season, is
very unsatisfactory to importers Of Lou
isiana sugars, principally because UNI
profitable. though very few are wiling
to tolerate actual dishonesty in the man
u%tacture Of any arlicl , whether detri-
mental to their interests or not. Having
just completed the task Of re.weigb'ug
our sugars, we have some facts that may
be Of int1 o :be uuinitiated. One
lot e god fair sugar that we took in
February 81 has lost in weight IS to 200
It's. per hhd., Averaging 1434 lbs. loss
each. After de,tucling s advance in
price, we are losers on this lot to the
amour Of 81 90 per hid. This we re-
gard as nothing less than the result Of a
fraud on tue part Of the manufacturer
This may be thought severe, but we be-
Iieve in calling things by their right
the use Of Bi->uIpha'e" of l'me in the
ma ufacture Of sugar to increase its
weight, (thus making it a deception and
injury to all who handle or consume i)
is much more remote from actual crime
than that Of strychnine in the manafac-
lure Of whiskey to increase the Weld
We believe the laws of Louisiana and
Ohio should provide a severe penalty for
both these schemes of criminal gain.-
Other lots of sugar received in FEBRUARY
and March los, 864 lbs, 66 lbs, ~ lbs,
43 lbs, and so on, according to the
grade Of sugar, and the " process en-
ployed IN manufacturing.
