Troubles OF ssEsr Renasrs.
CHICAGO, October 2o.-A Washington
special says information received from
New York is to the effect that the recent
reduction Of 5i.l0O OF q cent per pound
in the drawback On refined sugars OF.
ported, has completely stopped the sI.
portation OF refined sugars from the
United States. The reAnerys claim that
some strange influence must have been
sxsrted to effect tho reduction. because
they heard from European sugar msr.
chants a.xesk before 1t took place, that
q reduction was to be made, while no
American rsfners were consulted on tho
subject either by the Soc'y Of the Treas.
ury or his experts. They regard the
Secrstary's action as a party one. while
he ON the other hand says 1t 10 merely
experimental and by NO means con.
elusive. In view OF the distress likely
I, DO occasioned by this change and the
fact that the Canadians have already be-
gun to absorb our immense sugar ex-
port trade. tho Secretary Of the Treas
ury has insisted that the Collector Of
the Port Of New York shall proceed
without delay to organize q Commission
Of experts for the purpose OF making
tests that will show with e~Iactnesss the
loss Of weight on raw sugars In tho pro-
Of refining. II was represented to
the Secretary that the old drawback al
lowanco involved n bounty Of ons per
cent. per pound to the rcBnsr. hence the
reduction Of the drawback.
