Cleveland, and Arbuckle Bros. of New
York, minority stock holders, filed a
petition before Judge Morris, asking
for a receiver for the Woolson Spice
restraining order to be1issued and will
hear the motion on January 25th. The
petition names the Woolson Spice
company and the American Sugar
Refining Co., as defendants, and
states that the Woolson Spice company
is worth $500, 900. Kuhn and Arbuckle
Bros. own one share jointly and the
latter own sixty shares; that the
American Sugar Refining company
controls the price of sugar
in the United States that
Arbuckle Bros, have been in competi-
tion with the Woolson company in the
coffee business; that they also sold

New Lines in Mexico.

A disphtch from Tampico says that
at a meeting of the board of directors
of the Mexican Central railway, held
in Boston, it was decided to construct a
direct road from Tampico to the City of
Mexico, and steps were taken to raise
the amount of money necessary. The
Mexican Central company held con-
cession from the Mexican government
for several years for the proposed road,
and the fact that this concession is
about to be forfeited unless work is
begun, is supposed to have influenced
the action of the directors. The
Hidalgo Northern is also being extend
ed from Pachuca toward this city. The
short line of the Mexican Central will
be easy to construct, the grade being
not over 3 per cent at any place.
