POSSIBLE CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES BE-
TWEEN THEM AND THE SUGAR TRUST
Toledo. Ohio Jan. "a NJ Woolson, of tie Wool
son Spice Company. said to-day trat from what
he had Just learned there woIld be no truce be-
tween the Sugar Trust and the Arbuckes. and
that the two companies would continue to operate
INDEPENDENTLY q each other. II stated yester-
day by Mr. Woolson that he would not be surprised
to sec cessation of hostties This was met 10y de-
NAL from Now-YorI to-day that atty compromise
contemplated.
There is good reason for believing that A. ~
Wooson. pr resident OF the Woolson Spice Company.
of Toledo Ohio spoke with knowledge when he
said the fight between the Sugar Trust and Ar
buckle Bros OF New-York. would not last much
longer. and that the Arbuckles would eventually
control the Woolson coffee roasting and grinding
plant. which is in the hands OF the Sugar
Trust The S"gar Trust people and the Arbuckles
say tie fight will go on. and that Mr.. Woolson. be-
ing row merely ompioyc Of the Sugar Trust has
no authority speak. They could hardly be ex-
pected TO say anything else. The pro ability Is that
are Arbuckles already tired of the fight The fact
Is that the fight up 10 this time has been and would
continue TO be for long time one-sided affair BY
lowering 10 cost the price OF the prepared coffee
put up by the Woolson Company. and forcing the
Arluclsles the reduced price. the Sugar
Trust has cut terribly INFO the profits of the Ar
having sugar refinery, nav not been able TO hurt
the regular business of the trust.
The Arbuckles have sold they were going 10 build
refinery, but they could not complete the refinery
in less than year and half. and by that time it
is calculate they would have lost something like
100000 in profits II Is said they clearing
$4,000 year in their business before the b.
tween them and the Sugar Trust began. The un-
derstanding is that the trust will consent a
sation Of hostilltes. and will turn the Wooson
concern to them cost If they will agree keep
out OF the sugar business. Further mere the trust
will furnish sugar TO them for the trade at It's reg
uar wholesale price. including discount for cash.
II would not be surprising II the Arbuckles made
terms with the Sugar Trust before the present
month ends The Arbuckles cannot hope TO gain
much by the ACQUISITION of sixty shares OF the
WOolson Companys stock As the stock was
bought T. harass the trust II - likely that In this
case the courts would rot recognize the usual
