EAGLE REFINERY.
Annual Meeting Yesterday-rne
Plant To Be Leased or Sold.

The annual meeting of the Eagle Sugar
Refinery Company was held yesterday at
the offices on Commercial street. The old
board of officers were reelected, excepting
the clerk and treasurer. In this office Mr..
Arthur K. Hunt succeeds Mr.. Jos. P.
Thompson, who has resigned. The Eagle
Refinery has been engaged in the boiling
of molasses into low grade of sugar. The
putting of sugar on the free list by the last
tariff bill has left the boiling industry un-
profitable, so the Eagle refinery will not be
started up again. 1t has valuable plant
on Fore street, opposite the Grand Trunk
shops, which would be an admirable
location for some manufacturing business.
1t is understood that this plant-will be
leased or sold.

A PROM PIT CAPTAIN,
Why People Thought the EIIa over
due-South American Trade.

Some stories went about the streets the
other day to the effect that the bark Ella.
Captain W. 81. Lewis, bound from the
River Platte to Boston, was overdue. This
was not so, for she arrived In Boston Sun
day. The report arose from the interest
Ing fact that Captain Lewis has always
come up from the Platte in less than 60
days. He has been making voyages there
since 1860. and is one of the most success
full captains in the trade. He has come
from the Platte in So days, and his recent
voyage of 63 days was SO long for him that
the story got about that he was overdue.
Refractory winds off Brazil delayed him.
The Ella is owned by r. Lewis & &c. Of
this city.
Captain Lewis with the Ella Is one of the
few Portland captains still running to the
Platte with lumber. In 1889 there were
101 vessels engaged in this business and
they carried 1000. 900 feet of lumber. This
year not over 5000. 900 feet will be carried.
The cause of it all Is the financial difficult
ties In the Argentine. When they blow
over 1t is expected that the old trade will
come back. Two or three hundred men
used to be employed here loading lumber.
and then wages were % or 80 cents an
hour.
The cordage trust that is now forming is
of considerable interest to a place like
this. Some of the shipping men do not
seem to think 1t will make much difference
In prices. The little mandatory at Bath
has gone into the trust, as has already
been announced.
