"The London quotations for the year
1898 average for raw beet, S8 degrees,
So 30 22-24 per 100 pounds, and for Ger
man grsnulated sugar 1886 l7-24 per
100 pounds. This shows an average
difference of 54.l7 cents per 100 pounds.
If you take this raw sugar price and
add the necessary amount to allow Tor
the quantity required, you have
1915 l1-24, the outlay for the sugar
totally consumed in making the refined
sugar. This leaves 10 624 cents as the
net balance to cover the cost OF refining.

TO make the necessary allowance, ana
arrive at the true quantity consumed,
which is 10S.05 pounds. The iatest
London quotations for 96-degree con.
trifueal, shows s2.93 per hundred

of A cents on 100 pounds. Adding to
the raw sugars price the necessary

A CONFERENCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
It developed today that conference
was held at the White House last night,
at which were present the president,
Speaker Crisp, Chairman Wilson, Secre'
tary Gresham and some others. Inc
sugar schedule was gone over ana the
subseq uent action OF those present war
rants the inference that the presldent
and others believed it advisable to ac-
cept the proposition. 1t was with this
understanding that the house conference
met the senators today. but the oblec..
tion oil the louisiana senators developed
IN unexpected obstacle.
A SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.
There was q hurried conference today
between Senators German, Smith and
Jones. Previous to this the Louisiana
senators made vigorous protest against
the proposed sugar schedule, which did
mot proyide for a bounty on the product
for this wear. The senatorial conference
Vas supposed to have been held to as
certain il some new arrangement OF the
schedule could not be proposed which
would meet with favor. Shortly after
the conference of the senators was over,
il WAS stated by one that a sugar sched-
ule would be agreed to on lines suggest
ed Yesterday, and the main fight be-
tween the conference then would be on
coal and iron ore.
When q short recess was taken, the
house conference announced that nc
agreement had been reached on the
three main items, sugar, iron and coal
three or four more days to bring thu
members together.
ENOUGH VOTES IN SIGHT.
It is claimed the senate conferees
pointed out that. with the new sugar
schedule, the bill would receive the
votes of Senators CaHery and Blanchard
of Louisiana. because . bounty for this
year is provided, and Allen and Kyle
(Populists), and these four votes, with
that OF Senator Hill, would dsfeat the
bill. The house members say the
Louisiana men cannot afford to vote
against the bill, 90 favorable to the
sugar interests, simply because no pro-
vision for the bounty on this years
crop is included, as congress certainly
would pass free sugar bill before ad.
journment.
