FREE SUGAR.
The Sacharine Substance to be
Released ON and After
April 1.

Two car loads Of sugar arrived In
Sedalia yesterday and as soon as the
collector of customs can get here, the
sugar will be released from the duty
on it and the dealers will be enabled to
sell it at the rate of eighteen and one
half POUNDS for big round dollar.
Referring to this, the Globe. Demo
crat this morning contains the follow
ing:
Collector of Customs James O.
Churchill met all the leading whole
sale grocers and railroad men of ST.
Louis in his office at 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and an hour or more
was spent in consultation in reference
TO the release of sugar on and after
April LIST. As has been previously
stated, sugar is to be admitted free
of duty ON and after April st, and
the reduction has caused the grocers
to hold back their orders for
this benefit. In consequence the
stock on hand has run down
very low, and all are anxious to have
their consignments delivered at the
earliest possible moment. Col.
Churchill has done all in his power to
accommodate them. He has nomina-
ted, or sent TO Washington for confr-
nation, the names of sixteen persons
TO serve as Special Deputy Collectors
to aid in the release Of sugar. Most
of these names have been cunfrmed, |
and he expects that all of them will
be, and that he will be notified by |
this days mail. Already $50 cars of
sugar consigned to this port have
been reported to him by the railroads,
and 300 car loads of the same are ex-
pected before the LIST. He was in.
formed by the grocers who met him
yesterday that IS. 900 barrels of sugar
was the least that was expected Dy
the LIST, and he may look for more.
Most of this will be kept in the
cars by the railroad companies,
thereby saving the merchants great
expenses, as storing it at the govern
ment warehouses would be costly.
This agreement was reached at yes
Hrday meeting. The merchants and
the collector were also informed ss to
the location of the cars on the various
roads on which the sugar will arrive,
making it easy for the collector to as
sign his force of deputies. A great t
quantity has already arrived, and has
been forwarded to Quincy, ILL.,, Han t
nibal and Sedalis, Mo-. and Fort a
Smith, Ark, where it will be released Y
and delivered by special deputies ap- o
pointed from there to the consignees. {
La order that sugar may be promptly t
released it is necessary that merchants 8
make withdrawal entries without de. S
lay. No sugar can be released with n
out an entry. Upon arrival of a Ii
bond from an outer port covering a
notice of its arrival will Il
be sent to the merchant. In cases c.
where he has not received such notice a
md the sugar has arrived, he should Il
make inquiry at the custom house. ri
The local inspectors especially ap- 81
pointed for this occasion are expected "
10 be at the custom collectors Office at S
1 o'clock this afternoon to get their n
orders and instructions regarding L
heir duties. The entire force of b
clerks in the custom collectors Office al
we're kept busy until after midnight b
king up the papers preparatory Of
o releasing the sugar already it
eceived. They expect to work as long c.
o-night. Promptly at midnight on L
Tuesday the force of special deputies sc
will be armed with the proper papers Il
md proceed to the yards of the off d
erent railroads in St. Louis and East
1t. Louis to begin the work of inspect to
ng and releasing the bonded sugar. tt
Collector Churchill expects by this st
method to have all the sugar received fc
lere before that time released in one Ii
lay. P'
DID NOT GET THE DIVORCE. ~
