1t Is very evident that the American
Sugar trust has removed some of the
pressure and will not in the future
pursue with such untiring energy its
shameful warfare upon the Utah Sugar
company, in it's endeavor to strangle
the young industry. As matter of
tact, 1T is understood that there will be
no more cutting in prices and the local
institution and the great organization
will meet in this territory upon equal
footings. Such has been the outcome
OF the first brush the people of this
territory have had with the greatest
OF all monopolies. OF course, this cessa-
| ton of hostilities may be only the
lull before the great storm, and it will
be we'll in either event for the con-
sumers of sugar to demand the product
OF the Lehi factory when purchasing
AT Its best the factory cannot produce
more than one-fourth Of the sugar used
in this territory and for The few months
ITS product is in the market the people
can afford to make exclusive pur-
chases.
Unless all signs fail the price of dry
granulated sugar will advance within
the next two or three days and It is
more than likely that Monday will wit
ness some change in the quotation
which has gone down so low Advices
received from San Francisco yesterday
were TO the effect that there had been
a material advance and Utah would be
affected within the next few days.
The Utah factory has to date pro-
duced this season 2,25o. 600 pounds of dry
granulated sugar, that mark having
been passed last evening OF the total
a 70 Of fIa1
has in its storehouse over one million
pounds. Sales are increasing, however.
and at the present rate the surplus
should not last very long The com
pany yesterday sold 200, 600 pounds of
sugar and orders are piling in. The
people want the product of the Lehi
factory, especially when they can get
1t at the same price as that fixed upon
the imported sugar.
General Manager Cutler. of the COM
pany. was in the city yesterday and to
a Herald reporter stated that it will be
some two weeks yet before all of the
beets are harvested and stored. To
date the company has received 2S. 600
tons of the tubers and there are in the
of 5000 tons yet in the
ground. Contrary 10 expectations the
special committee which has in hand the
matter of the purchase of the vinegar
LoOloiE hSdi Ine WORKS, OlO not visit
Lehi yesterday and investigate the pro-
position, but has now named Wednes-
day as the date for the visit 1t is |
hardly probable that the company will
operate the plant itself this season, but
the chances for purchase are very
favorable. The plant will then be |
leased until next year and the lessees |
viii make use of it for the surplus |
syrups from the sugar works
The directors of the company are
watching with a great deal of interest |
the experiments being made at the
Omaha distillery with the low product |
from the Norfolk, Nebraska. factory. |
These syrups are being manufactured |
into alcohol. On account of the great |
railroad haul it is hardly likely that !
the surplus from the Utah factory will |
ever be sold to the Omaha people At |
the Lehi factory the company now has
IN hand some 200, 900 gallons of the
ow product from the 1893 run and by
he end of this seasons run the amount
viii be swelled to about 100000 gallons.
This moiasses contains the potash salts
rom the soil and its manufacture into
sugar is not very profitable. 1t has
been suggested that the company put in
distillery of it's own, but this would
mean the expenditure of in the neigh
1orhood of $1,000
