At the wholesalers banquet in Lewis

striking fact that while there II over nine

ten thousand dollars year ever stopped

declared. ''mere hswtr> of wood aud

would stav at home the difference would
be very great. OF course home capital IS
not ALWAYS equal to the task Of deyelope

and foreign capital must be used, Yet
there is much Maine capital that goes
abroad that might take the place of some
of the foreign capital to the great adVan-

II Is said by those who have the means
of knowing, that the advance in the price
of sugar is not CAUSED by the sugar trust
but that it is chiefly the result of the de
iicicucy in the crop yield of cane sugars.
During the last two months cane sugars
have alsanccd in yalae cents per pound
and the price of beet root sugar in Europe
has risen six shillings per hundred weight.
The cost of refined sugar has risen pro-
portionatcly, but the fact that the advance
has taken place in foreign As well as in
domestic markets ContrOvcrtS the idea
that it is occasioned by the operations of
the trust. The crop in Cuba is short by
about 100000 tons, the shortage in the
Brazil crop Is estimated at $1,000 tons,
and the Louisiana Weld il reckuued at
80 400 tons less than that of the previous
season Holders of raw sugar are not all
eager to sell. even at the high prices now
ruling, and their course indicates an eX-
pectaton of a further rise. The arrivals
OF sugar last week were considerably in
excess of those of the week previous, hut
they were mainly consigned to reliuers
and added little to the supply in the open
market. The total stock at the four
great distributing ports on the Atlantic
seaboard is less thsn - 900 tons as com
pared with IA 500 tons year ago,
