A FALL IN SUGAR.
The California Sugar Refinery Forced to
Reduce Prices

The California Sugar Refinery announced n re-
duction in the price Of sugar of one and a half
cents pound from the rate which has nominally
prevailed since September 18th. This marked re-
duction caused a great deal of surprise on the
street and there were many theories atoat as TO
the cause The actual reason may have been
guessed, but as there was no means OF positively
confirming any OF those advanced, the theory which
finally gained credence did so from its reasonable
ness. The belief which generally became accepted
was that the California Refinery had accumulated
such a stock of sugar, said to be about 10000 bar
res, since Its attempted advance OF September; as
TO be obliged to make yesterdays reduction in Or
der to dispose of its stock. When the September
increase was made several spectators had large
stocks on hand, which entered rs an element for
competition with the other and great element, the
product of the rival local refinery, the American.
Added to these, there was considerable Eastern
sugar here. One lot of 800 barrels from New York,
which had been held on speculation for several
months, had been sold since the September rise,
and other Eastern lots had been brought here and
sold during that time.
The American Refinery met the street demand
regularly with its product supplying customers at
81 cents, while the card rate of the California Re-
fnery was S4 for dry granulated. Under this un-
usual competition the product Of the California
Refinery rapidly accumulated IN its warehouse and
Il began underselling its own card rate TO relieve
its own position. That 1t did so is evidenced by
tho fact that retailers buying from the California
nominally at So we're in fact solling at 81 cents
This happened even in Stockton, where the retail
customers of the California were enabled to pay
freight and still sell !. cent below the California
card rate. What rebate the California was obliged
to give ths iobbers who handled its product in or
der that this anomalous condition of affairs could
exist, the trade can best estimate. Although ap-
parently obliged to resort TO the novel eIpedientcy
Of undersellinC itself 10 meet local competition.
the California continued nOminally to keep up its
increased rate until the American received cargo
of 100000 pounds of sugar from Manila, when
the reduction was announced. Only a small amount
of sugar is expected from the Hawaiian Islands
during the next sixty days. After that time two
thirds of the Hawaiian product will come 10 the
American Refinery under the recently made con-
tracts, and the California Refinery will then be
obliged TO buy more sugar from Manila and other
dutiable districts than now and for years past
The enlarged works of the American Refinery,
which will give it a capacity of 100000 pounds
daily, will be completed In January, in time to
handle its increased receipts from the Hawaiian
Islands. 5. T. CErOHirls Nov. 4th
