The Cause OF the Scarcity.

The explanation Of this sugar scar
city is given by the jobbcrs in two
ways. One. and the principal cause
attributed j. that early in the season
many OF the sugar refincries were
closed down by the tru~t.and the con-
sequence j. that the market i now
suffering. Another reason assigned
is the fact that il i the season of the
year when there i an unusual de
mand for sugar for Kitchen use owing
to the putting down OF fruits. etc. for
winter.
1t is hoped the next few days will
improve the situation. though il may
not.

CRIMINAL ACTS.
New York Insurance Official Says
That Pres. Levy Of Life Union
And Other Companies Used Their Funds as
Though His Personal Finances.

ALBANY, n. V, Jan. 9.--neputy Super
intendent Shannon of the state insurance
department has completed his examination
of the affairs of the Life Union of New
York City, National Benefit Society of New
York City, and State Mutual Benefit Asso-
eiation of Syracuse, companies engaged in
life insurance business on the cooperative
or assessment plan.
In his report Mr. shannon says Louis
T. Levy, first yice-president of the Life
Mon and president of the other two com
panies appears TO have used the funds of
the several companies as if they were his
own personal property. kiting of checks
between the several companies controlled
by him seems a feature of his management
In July last Mr.. Levy drew three checks
on the reserve fund of the Life Union, ag-
gregating sl2 200, ostensibly TO be used in
the purchase of membership in the New
York State Mutual Benefit Association of
Syracuse. The books of the Syracuse AS
sociation do not show that any of this
money ever passed into its posses
sion, and none of its members
transferred to the Life Union.
The reports state that the assets of each
company are much less than the unpaid
death claims, and apparently whenever MIR,
Levy needed money he would make OBJ
jections TO the payment of death claim by
the National Benefit Society, and as coun-
sci for the company take charge of the adj
iustment. In 10 months 2S of such claims
were attended to By Mr.. Levy, and for his
services the society paid him s47l5.
Superintendent of Insurance Pierce has
turned Mr.. Shannon's report over to At
torney- General Rosendale, with the request
that he take legal steps to wind up the af-
fairs of the associations if the facts dis
closed require such action.
