Price Advances One Ei z n tn and q Fur
Their Rise La Expected.
Sugar advanced " cent per pound
Thursday and promises to advance still
further. The causes are the recent in
surgent victories in Cuba and the fact
that the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, commonly called the sugar trust, is
fully alive to the situation. This Is the
season Of the year when the demand is
small and stocks are always allowed to
run low. Hard times have furnished an
additional excuse for carrying light
stocks, and wholesalers and retailers
throughout the country never before had
so light supply. The announcements
of the insurgent victories set many deal
ers to thinking and induced many of
them to wire good buying orders to the
agents Of the trust. The latter had also
evidently read the newspapers and had
marked prices up as above. Thursdays
advance is the third ordered by the trust
during December, and makes a total ad-
vance of 5-16 cent at time when de-
clines are usually expected.

average shows astonishing results. but as
conditions are different, the increase can
be explained without detrimcnt to the rep

Chicago has a population Of 1.Is3,SCO,

time Senator Hill went into hiding. The

Solomon grease ana went before the peo-

The result was defeat, discontinue, hu-
initiation and disgrace. The new Demo

now bowed with shame. and the party scat

dispersion was gcing on Senator Hill re-
mained in hiding.
Many of the old Democratic leaders
whose advice and counsel had been scurBc6i

ganize their followers on well-known lines
A convention was called, candidates nomi-
mated and the campaign made in the usual
way. But the public wanted 20 overwhelm
the new Democracy with an avalanche
Of disravor, and in most States not
enough votes were cast for the Old organ
iZation to entitle it to place on the Ba-
tional ticket 1at the next election, During
all this time Senator Hill was still in hid
ing.

reorganize unless it is tine one he took
with him to. Wolfert Roost? The new
Democracy is still in the hands of its
beaten leaders. The old organization has
gone out of existence. To which party does
Senator Hill refer.
