The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-11-13

AS anticipated by the officers of the
Utah Sugar company, the price of dry
granulated sugar yesterday advanced on
the San Francisco market and accord
ingly on the Titan market also. The adj
vance made by the Utah Sugar company
was % cents, known in trade parlance
as tWo-eighths, which stiI leaves the
quotation S712 cents below that which
governed at the commencement of the
1881 run. OF the sugar factory. 1t is the
general opinion in business circles that
this advance is simply the starter and
mat sugar will soon reach a much higher
point. Inc Utah company has over three
ana half million pounds of its product
yet TO dispose of and this advance means
considerable to the industry. The state
ment made in The Herald on Sunday
morning, to the effect that the gigantic
tfusI mad practically admitted it's defeat
IN the battle with the people of the ter
rltory has received additional verifcation
by the action of the Western refinery in
advancing local quotations with the gen
eral upward run of the sugar market,
and the failure of the trust to make any
new cuts during the past few days. The
Utah sugar factory will more than like
ly be allowed to sci! the remainder of
its product at the regular market prices,
but it will not do for int people to be
caught napping-some new phase in the
game may make its appearance at any
advances for retail sales but may do so
today
The Lehi factory has been making
some phenomenal runs during the past
all previous records were smashed to
pieces On the first day mentioned the
factory produced 79l bags of sugar and
treated AL tons of beets, while on Sun
the greatest number of bags produced
was no. With this record Manager Cut
Ter and the other officials of the company
are highly pleased. The plant is now
daily treating on an average of 100 tons
of beets more than it's rated capacity,
which is 800 tons Some OF the low pro-
duct held over from the 1888 run IS now
being used and this aids materially to
the increase Of the production.
To yesterday noon the factory had pro-
duced since commencing operations this
fall 100000 pounds of sugar. with every
thing running in splendid shape. The
company has now received 2 600 tons OF
beets more than were received during the
year 1893, the total being $500 tons.
There are still in the ground in the
neighborhood of 2G1C tons. These beets
did weather is doing wonders for them
and the indications are that all of the
beet growers will be able to get their
crops to the factory.
Manager Cutler was in the city yester-
day and in response to questions stated
that the sales of sugar had been very
heavy during the past weeh-the people
are coming to the aid of the industry
in splendid shape and in consequence the
company feels to tender its thanks. The
sales for yesterday were 1900 bags, of
which z. c. NJ. I. alone. took eco bags
AT present the supply in this city is
comparatively limited but the advance
in price and the indications for a still
further rise is having the effect of in
creasing the sales of the sugar company
the merchants being DESTROYS of stocking
up before many more cents are tackled
on the cost price: During the past three
days 1000 bags have been sold by the
company.
Mr.. Cutler also took occasion to state
that the Utah Sugar company is not in
politics. 1t has been the aim Of the Of
ticeTs to keep the factory entirely out of
the party fights and if possible eliminate
it from the political discussions. Never
yet has an employee of the company re-
ceived any intimation as TO which would
be the most healthy way for him to cast
his ballot and the discussion of politics
in the works Of the company or on the
farm is contrary to the orders issued by
the management. In the future, as in the
past, the Utah Sugar company win be a
strictly ron-rartisan, but an untiring
business institution.
