Sugar Trust Outrage.

And now the country Is treated TO the
intelligence that the great sugar trust
under the management Of president Have
meyer. has shut down, or at least nearly
the same thing, austensibly for the pur.
pose Of influencing legislation In the in
terests OF the reflneries. They are moi
content with making profit Of at least
$22, 000, 900 on an actual capital Of $10,.
000, 900 In one year, but would resort &c
the most damnable schemes ever concoct
cd by a monopoly concern to accomplish
their purpose.
Read the following telegram from New
York to the Inter Ocean, dated Nov. go
and draw your own conclusions:
The sugar trust has made at least S22,.
000. 900 In profit during the last year
This Is 220 per cent on It's actual invest
ment Of $10,000,000. In 1893 the trust
paid 1856 per cent, and In 1899 $50 pei
cent profits. It's workingmen are obliged
to labor twelve hours day for $1.20, OF
80 cents for q working day OF eight hourf
under the hardest conditions, In heal
averaging 1876 degrees and sometimes
reaching $50 degrees. These are the mer
that have been turned into the street by
the trust for the purpose Of lettering
Congress from passing the sugar pop-gur
bill.
Henry o. Havemeyer, president Of the
sugar trust, qualified to-day the state
ment he made Wednesday that the rein
cries OF the company In Brooklyn, Bos
ton, Baltimore, and Philadelphia would
not be operated again for an indefinite
period. He said that about one-half the
men would be permitted to return to work
Monday. There Is well-grounded opin.
ion In financial circles that MIR. Have
meyer did not originally misstate his In
tentions, and that his amendation Of the
original programe was the result OF OPP
position to his policy among some Of the
influential stockholders. This opposi
ton, 1t Is said, amounted to-day almost
to an open revolt against the president
and led to modification Of plans on the
part OF the sugar king Searles, Matth
lessen, and other sugar magnates, It Il
believed, were entirely opposed to com
plete suspension OF business, especially
as no meeting of the company had beer
called to approve It, and when they reat
Mr.. Havemeyer's interview In the paper,
they raised such row that the president
reluctantly consented to-day to regarG
their wishes In the matter
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1894-12-05

It is only a few years since the
only industry in Alpena was lum-
Der. But we are all the time grow
ing. We are now turning out lum-
Der, paper pulp, hemlock bark ex-
tract, slaves, flour, spools, net floats
pail handles, etc., with a tannery,
WOODEN factory and pump manufac-
tory in the near future, with room
for broom and fork handle estab-
lishment, veneering works, box fac
tory, and in fact lots Of other indus
tries. A saw mill for the cutting
of hardwood lumber will probably
be one of the next on the list.

Business Outlook.

Speaking Of tho business outlook,
Bradstreet's review of last week says
there is no general or radical improve
ment at the south, the southwest, or the
northwest. But in the central western
states, and particularly at some impor-
tant cities In the old middle and north
eastern states, the reverse is true, ma
terial gain In the demand for many sea-
sonable staples having shown itself, with
a corresponding increase in the volume Of
goods distributed on orders for future
delivery. This is independent Of the
stimulus to trade in certain lines due to
the approaching holidays, and in spite Of
the check to the volume Of general busi-
ness within the week caused by the
Thanksgiving holiday. A sharp revival
n prices is shown by quotations for
isome grades Of lumber, but more partic-
ularly for cotton, wheat, oats and lard,
improving prices Of tho first two Of
which having had an influence for good.
Decreases In prices Of steel rails and bars,
cattle, hogs, Indian corn and naval stores
are reported, but quotations for struct-
ural iron, rice, whisky, tobacco, pork, coi-
fee and sugar are steady. It should be
explained that rails are now held at 500,
the lowest price on record, and that steel
billets and pig iron are respectively 30
and $3.50 below English quotations.
At Chicago, pig iron dealers are trying
to force an advance, but at st. Louis
that market Is without life and the price
Is low. Cottons are weaker since the
cut made by New York house. A stlm-
ulating influence OF purely statistical
nature Is the decrease Of zoos, 900 bu OF
wheat In the quantity afloat for and In
store In Europe last week, thus nearly,
though not quite, overcoming the increase
OF 6,12S, 900 bu Of wheat available In the
United States and Canada last week.
Exports of wheat (and -four as wheat,
both coasts, amount to 1897 900 bu this
week, against $4,000 bu last week, g.
440, 900 bu In the week one year ago.
Data presented by Bradstreets point to
United States having exported about Co.,
600, 900 bu Of wheat (lour included) since
June 30, and to our having So, 600, 900 bu
available for export during the next seven
months, Notwithstanding the alleged OK
cessive home demand this year. Specu-
lation in the Now York stock market dis
plays little resp ,nse to the success Of the
government bond issue, the influence of
the large oversubscription being over
come by the failure Of foreign interests
to obtain any considerable share Of the
new Issue. Silver Is demorallzed by SELL
ors Of eastern billie on the part Of the
Japanese government, coupled with fears
that Japan may insist on war indemnity
from China In gold and not In silver.
There Is an increased demand for funds
ct Chicago (notably from packers) and at
Milwaukee.
