New YORK, Dec. 10.-The sugar traders at a

against Secretary sherman's proposed change
in the mode of collecting duties on that ar
ticle as in the highest degree unjust and i'm
practicable. Instead of decreasing the temp
tation to defraud, they believe it will have just
contrary effect, and if any changes
at all are to be made in
the tariff they think it should be SO framed as
to avoid discrimination against any qualities
of raw sugar, whether of high or low grade,
and that will conform as near as practicable to
ad yalerem duty.
