AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST.
A Syndicate Formed to Build New
Refineries.

New York. Oct. 10.-The new opposi-
lion to the sugar trust is more formida.
bic than was at first supposed. 1t is
now reported not only Arbuckle Bros.
ire interested in the erection of the pro-
posed new refinery, but that a strong
syndicate of western wholesale grocers
S also interested in the deal.
j. is reported on excellent authority
that two of the most important mem
oers of this syndicate are the big whole
ale grocery firms Of Sprague, Warner
& Co. and Franklin MacVeagh e. Co. Of
Chicago. 1t was at first proposed to es-
.ablish the independent sugar refinery
n the west, using beets as the source
IF supply for the raw material.
Mr.. Arbuckle opposed this plan, how
sver, with the result that the new oppo-
sition to the trust will be established
n the east. 1t was rumored In the
.rade yesterday hat not only will the
plot of land adjoining the Arbuckl,
Rros.' establishment ia Brooklyn he
1sed, but also that a large piece Of prop
srty had been secured on Newark bay
alongside the tracks of the Central rail-
road Of New Jersey.
There will be little likelihood of the
trust being able to secure control of the
plant, as it's owners are in the business
Ter the profit there Is in it. The gr,-
GERS interested nave a large trade in
the west. which they can supply with
sugar without being compelled to abide
by the arbitrary rulings and prices
made by the trust.
The property in Newark bay will not
,nly afford railroad facilities. but also
IN excellent waterfront, where vessels
.oaded with raw sugar can be brought
along eide OF the refinery.
Camden, N. j., Oct. 10,-Application
was made at the state department..
Trenton, for a charter for the Standard
Sugar Refining company. The incorpo-
.ators are Joseph A. Baker. Charles Ba
ker, w. s. Williams, Herman Hope.
and Thomas d. Harmed. The new plant
8 to be located at Kaighn's Point, and
the company will have an authorized
capital of 81. 000. 900.

1t has frequently been asserted that
the brilliant colors of many flowers
serve to attract bees and butterflies to
them. Experiments recently reported
to the Belgian Academy of Science
seem TO show hat the perfume rather
than the color of the flowers is the real
attraction. Bright colored blossoms
were covered with leaves n papers
pinned closely about them, yet he in
sects not only visited the hidden low
Frs, but e~ndeavored to force their way
under the papers in order to reach the
blossoms, which they could not see.
