SUGAR REFTNERIES CLOSE.
The Trade Is Affected BY the Cuban
Controversy.

OOnIroVerSy.
NEW YORK, March 12. 1t is reported
that the sugar refineries in this vicinity
will probably shut down in a few days.
John A. Searles, the treasurer. said that
some of the refneries might be closed.
but that there was a special significance
in this.
Trade is dull, and it is said that the
controversy in congress is giving the
sugar trust some concern, for if the bel
Iigerency of the insurgents is recognized
the trust may be cut off from receiving
supplies from that source for an indefi-
mite period, whereas if the debate on the
resolutions is postponed the shipment of
sugar from Cuba will continue for a
while longer
