CHICAGO, Oct. 2O.-A Washington special saws
information received from New York is TO the
effect that the recent reduction of "a of a cent per
pound as drawback on refined sugars exported,
has completely stopped the expectation of refined
sugars from the United States. The refneries
claim that some strange influence must have been
exerted to effect the reduction. because they heard
from European sugar merchants u week before it
took place, that a reduction was to be made, while
no American refner was consulted on the subject
by the Secretary of the Treasury or any of his ex-
perts. They regard the Seeretary's action as hasty,
while he, on the other hand, says that is merely
experimental and by no means conclusive. In
view of the distress likely to be occasioned by this
change and the fact that the Canadians have
already begun to absorb our immense sugar export
trade, the Secretary of the Treasury has insisted
that the Collector of the Port of New York shall
proceed without delay to organize a commission of
experts for the purpose of making tests that will
show with exactness the loss of weight on raw
sugar in the process OF refining, 1t was represented
to the Secretary that the old drawback allowance
involved a bounty of one half a cent per pound to
the rpfinprS- hence the reduction of the dra whackS

leaped into prominence, and is to have honors
thrust upon him. The model OF a monument to be
erected at Liverpool has been completed, in which
he Is TO become the central figure. 1t is to repre-
