CHICAGO, January 19.-I. was announ'
csd this evening that Mr. MARSHAL Field
had supplied a site for the proposed new
Baptist University. He has donated for
the purpose ten acres Of land, valued at
800, 900. The tract is in the southern
part of the city, and fronts on Ell
lis avenue, between Fitty-sixth and
Fifty.seventh streets. Mr.. Fields gift
fills the LAST of the requirements OF the
originator Of the university project, j. d.
Rockefeller, the oil king. Mr.. Rockefeller
gave 5000, 900 TO found university on
condition that $40O, 900 more should be
raised and that none Of the
totals 81, 100000 should be used for the
purchase of site. The value OF Mr.
Fields land, together with the money al
ready raised, more than completes the
million. 1t is intended, however, to con-
slider it as no part of that sum, but to
complete the round amount regardless Of
the Field donation.

A SINGULAR FACT,


that. in the matter of sugar, the legisla-
ton of other countries plays directly into
the hands of England and enables foreign
manufacturers to put sugar upon her mar
kets at less then cost. The only three
countries which from their natural advan-
tages might become rivals Of Eogiand vol
untarilY legislste themselves out OF the
contest. France and Germany are the
greet producers of beet-root sugar. These
nations protect the sugar industry by
heavy duties on imports and even by lib
eral bounties on expectations of the native
product. These governments actually psy
their sugar manufacturers 10 sell
their wares to foreigners. What is more
surnrisine is that the ",ffete pstions" of
Fufope are not slore in putting sugar
upou the English market at less than cost.
We are doing our part too in s"eeteniDg
John Bulls tea cup. It Is not generally
known that we grant bounty on tne e1-
portstion Of sugar; but such ia the fact.
We levy a duty of g p per hundred on
raw sugar testing 50 degress.
If however, the refined sugar is export
ed. the refner rtcsives a drawback more
than equivalent to the original duty which
he paid. From July l, 1888, to Ssptem'
her %. 1856. this excess of drawback over
and above original duty was S2t cents per
hundred pounds of refntd sugar export.
In September, 1886, tx-Secretary Man
ming decided that
THIS DRAWBACK WAS TOO GREAT,
and he accordingly reduced it to tgnre
which cuts of about twO-thirds OF the
32B cents bounty. At present that part o.
the export duty which is bounty is orel
ten cents per one hundred pounds. Ii
This way We paid during the five year
ending with July l. 1888. a sugsr-e1por
bounty Of s. Ole. 678 Al, besides refund
ing 10 the refner all Of the duty on hi
raw material.
The American refuer can now ship hl

has this industry become that the fac
tories now consume about two thirds Of
the entire small fruit crop; ald they serve
also as q great stimulus TO production.
Ia 1887 there were more than 48, 900 ncres
devoted TO small fruits. In the county Of
Kent there are many growers who plant
100 acres in awberries alone, and come
who plant several hundred. About SO. 900
persona in this single county are engaged
in the production of small fruits.
The consumption of sugar by E1gland's
lam and preserve factories reaches the tn
ormous figures of 300. coo 600 pounds an
nually, II our manufacturers used an
equal qusntity they would pay more than
IS, 600, 600 in excass Of the cost to the
English.
Euelish Jam has now invaded all the
markets Of the world-the direct result, as
the English themselves say, of the cheap
near of sugar in England. Oar own
market receives fully half its supply from
Eogland; and 10 the face Of English COM
petition most forms Of French confectiOn-
cry are being pressed to the wall.
