THE ELECTION.
A Light Vote in Lewistown and Throughout
the County

While nothing like full vote was expect
ri last Tuesday, it would have been much
larger had the weather been more favor
able. A rain and snow storm set in Mon
day night and continued nearly all day
Tuesday. keeping many away from the
polls. Woolgrowers, particularly, would
not leave their bands at so critical time
when there WAS so little at stake IN the
election.
In Lewistown the election passed OF qui-
city, without any strife or apparent effort
on the part of candidates or their friends.
There we're POI votes east in this precinct
at the election last fall. Tuesday there
were but i12 votes polled. Following is
the result by precincts up to the time Of
going 10 press:

Boston, May IA wool circular
says: The London sales have cOntin-
ned favorable to sellers, an advance OF
from ) to ! j per cent on the various
classes over the previous series being
established. These prices preclude fur
ther impOrtatiOns on the basis OF pres
ent quotations for domestic woods,
and our mills will apparently have to
depend upon the homegrown clip for
their supplies during the coming sum
mer and fall. Under the cirrunIstan-
ces We see no prospect OF any decline
from present values and it is reasOna-
BILE to expect ~ steady and healthy
market for the new clip as soon as it
arrives in sufficient quantity to attract
the favorable attention OF manufac-
turers. The generally mixed characte r
OF most Of the stock now on hand,
makes quotations mostly nominal;
hence we repeat the range OF secured
values given in our last circular for

THE NEW SUGAR TRUST.
How the Defeated Sweet Kings are Co

ing to Work Thor Scheme.
New YoRK, April 1.-THE Herald SAYS:
There have been conferences and consul.
tations for some time past among the
sugar kings, who recently formed the trust
or combine known as the Sugar Refinery
Company.
One OF the outcomes OF this state Of at
fairs, as published yesterday. was the
smash up Of the old sugar trust and the
formation OF what might he termed an
assignment pool, supposed to contain
seventeen out Of the, say. twenty-four re-
fineries in the United States. aud repre-
seniing capital OF about $4,000, 900,

individuals

gentlemen TO whom the American Sugar
Refining Company, OF san Francisco, was
recently assigned.
Important developments are expected
from the suit shortly TO be brought By
Attorney General Tabor against the Have
meyer-Elder Company, and IL is under
stood that an effort will be made 20 dis

tablish the identity OF the boss assignee"
for IL is claimed the assignment move is H.
legal II taken 10 defeat the ends OF Justice
or to block the investigation OF the trust
business.
On the other hand, the whisperings aud
consultations going on among the sugar
kings have been occasioned by the entirely
unprecedented state OF raw sugar in the
hands Of importers aud agents in this
country. IL is now only about II, 900 tons,
against 10000 tons at the corresponding
period last year. There are about l2,OOO
tons in this city rs against about 100000
tons last year. THIS causes the sugar kings
10 ponder considerably.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
The Aggregate Production for the Week
Amounted to 100, 500 Barrels.

The Aggregate Production for the Week
Amounted to 100, 500 Barrels.
MISNEAPoLis, Mimi, April 1.-THE
Northeastern Miller today says: The -four
output last week WIS the heaviest since
November, IA mills out OF the % contrib.
uting to this result Tho aggregate pro-
duction for the week was 100000 barrels,
averaging 10, $50 barrels daily, against S.
100 barrels the week before, and 100, 200
barrels for the corresponding time in 1855
There were 10 mills again in operation to-
day, Two or three having dropped out OF
the operative list, while about an equal
number had resumed work. Today the
output for the week gives promise Of reach
ing 100000 barrels, or over, the water
power being very good. Fluctuations in
wheat values have had depressing influ.
ence on the flour trade, and prices are 20
to 20 cents per barrel lower. There is q
great lack Of confidence among buyers, and
they appear TO be unwilling 10 make pur-
chases at any time, excepting as they are
absolutely forced TO do 30. Nevertheless,
some mills report moderate sales with the
demand rather on the increase. One IA.
vorsble sign TO which attention has been
called is the request now usually made
that orders placed be promptly filed. This
is taken TO indicate that the middlemen
are getting their stocks down pretty low
and cannot wait long for the filling OF or
ders. The export trade is light, bakers
being the most in demand. though, as a
rule, bids are lower than the miller can
afford to accept. The exports last week
were swelled to quite large proportions,
but good part OF this flour was on consign.
ment The o cents per barrel advance in
freight rates TO Chicago took effect Mon.
day, but transit OF the Chicago lines now
selling at s to Ole is being used in place OF
tho paying the new l0c rate. The direct
exports last week were 1900 barrels,
against 1890 the preceding week.

There were 535, OPS bushels OF wheat re-
ceiyed at Minneapolis for the week ending
