tbs the Sugar Trust is begin

ly tlse Of Philadelphia and New York.
The grocers are said to be
lalav Interested in the proposed

Ell Island. The big corporation
has 0 far condescended to notice the
moment AS to offer the importing
grous of Philadelphia table of re-
bate by which they will be able, if &C
cepd, to get small profit on
the sugar they handle. A meeting
will closed doors was held by
q lumber of importing grocers
yesrday, for the purpose Of consider
inghe ACCESSIBILITY of accepting or re-
iecng the proposition. So far as can
eascertained no definite conclusion
wareached. The stock of the AmeTl-

Tered shrinkage of nearly 50, 900, 900

OIL PRICES TO ADVANCE.
Producers Com bius to Cut of the Output
for Six Months.

Producers Combine to Cut of the Output
for Six Months.
PITTsBURG. Pa, April ia number
of the leading oil producers in the
Southwest are taking action looking
to a general suspension of drill
ing operations for a period of six
months from about May l. Many of the
largest operating individuals, firms and
companies, with headquarters in this
city, have already signed the agree
ment, which is so drawn that it must be
signed by all producing companies or it
is to be null and void. The idea meets
with general favor among the operators,
who bind themselves to build no rigs
nor start any wells to drilling before the
10Th Of October, except under specified
circumstances. OF course this is to cur
tail production and, in the natural
course Of thincss to raise prices.

VIENNA, April 11.--Since the fire in the
Ring Strasse on Saturday night, the fifth
of the series ofincendiary fires that had
occurred in Vienna within 8 week, the
fremen have been kept busy respond
ing to alarms in various parts of
the city. Extraordinary vigilance has
been observed and resulted in the fires
being discovered in their incipiency
and conquered before any material
damage had been done. These fires
gave evidence of being of incendiary
origin, and no doubt is entertained
that they were the work of Anarchists
or extreme Socialists, between whom it
would be hard to distinguish differ
ence. The general feeling of uneasiness
and insecurity continues to grow, and
u great number Of the residents of the
city have employed private watchmen
to guard their property against attempts
to tire it.
