A Cut in Sugar,

NEW YORK, Aug. "a bitter fight
has been begun by the sugar trust
against Claus Spreckles, who has been
a thorn in the side of the sugar refners
on this coast for many years. About
ten days ago the president of the sugar
trust was called away from tile city.
While he was away the sugar trust
maintained its price for granulated
sugar but Claus Spreckles, who had been
keeping his rates up to those charged by
the trust, at once announced areduction
OF l-l6 cent per pound. He cut SER
lously into the trade of the sugar trust,
but no action to meet the cut was taken.
as it was believed that as soon as
Spreckles' supply WAS placed he would
retire from the. market. He kept on
nlllng orders, however, and practically
supplied all demands. Monday Presi-
dent Havemeyer returned and at once
ordered the sugar trust price tor granu-
lated sugar reduced l-8 cent per pound,
or liz cent below that made bv
Spreckles. The latter made another
reduction. bringing his price 1-16 cent
below that OF the trust. The reduction
made brings the price OF granulated
sugar down to 4 cents per pound in
Philadelphia on which per cent is al
lowed OF, making the net cash price
92-lO0 cents-the lowest on record.
The price named By the sugar trust is
4 liz cent. In August, 1889, after the
formation of the trust. sugar sold for
