The Deal in Sugar.
PHILADELPHIA, March 81. =
There seems to be a hitch in the
negotiations between the sugar
trust and the independent refners
of this city. Nothing definite can
be learned as the status of the deal
with Spreckels, who refuses to dis
cuss the matter, but who is pop
ularly supposed to be in accord
with the trust.
The opinion in the sugar trade
is that the negotiations have not
been definitely concluded; that
the Franklin refinery, which is
operated by Harrison, Frazer &
Co. is still outside the trust, and
that it may stay outside. 1t was
reported that considerable pres
sure was being brought to bear
upon Harrison, Frazier & Co., and
that the wholesale grocers of the
country promised the firm their
support in case it maintained it's
independent attitude.
