There is a sort of Kilkenny fight going on be-
tween the Sugar Trust and Spreckels. An at
tempt has been made to corner the raw sugar
market on the part OF the trust in order to
bring Spreckels to his knees. As result Of
the attempted cornering, granulated sugar is
within Nc of soft white in price, thing unpre-
cedented- Both parties in the fight are re-
ported to be losing heavily, but leading Job
Der expresses the belief that where Spreckels
is losing 81 the trust is losing So Consumers
are getting the benefit of the fight in cheap
sweetening. Coffees are firm, and the drift is
toward a higher level. An advance of % points
is reported in Eastern markets. and at sources
