ing the local demand for sugar that the
growth of the beet sugar interest would
be abridged and retarded. II is not I'M
natural that America should care more

The wonderful development of
the sugar beet industry is leading
many wise heads TO predict that
the production of sugar from cane
will soon be on the wane. Not
withstanding the Cuban shortage.
the worlds production of sugar
for 1896 exceeds that of 1895. 1t
is no doubt true that sugar beet
production introduces a formid-
able competitive element that will
be felt more or less. but there is
no danger of cane sugar being
relegated TO secondary position.
Ii competition becomes sharper
and prices go To a lower figure.
the cane producers will meet the
situation as they have in the past
by lessening the cost of produc-
ton.

Our correspondent from the
business community makes a very
timely suggestion in relation TO
''sprinkling" Fort street. Biey-
clists have now become sufficient
" numerous to make themselves
heard and felt. and TO ride down
the principal business street of
the city after the sprinkler has
passed is a task of no mean pro
portion. The street is narrow and
hard TO navigate at best. but
when coated with mud. as it seems
TO be good part of the day. it
is really dangerous. There is a

From the tenor of numerous
