OPINION ON SUGAR
BY BROKER HIBBS
Active Manipulation by the Trust
People-No End of the Fight
in Sight.

Mr.. ". B. Hibbs said OF the sugar situa-
ton to a reporter for The Times this
morning:
These wild fluctuations are undoubted-
ly due wholly to manipulation There has
been no settlement between the trust and
the independent refineries, and there is
no prospect of one for the present. 1
have the amplest assurance of this from
the best sources. The talk of deals be-
tween the parties in the fight is put out
wholly to boom the manipulation. The
situation is very clear. The Sugar Trust
does not intend to buy out the Arbuckles
and the Doschers at the present valuation
put on their plants by them. Another op-
position would spring up within a month.
On the other hand, the opposition has not
invested So, 600, coo to throw it away for a
losing figure at the present. The entire
capitalization of the opposition at the
present is not as much as the dividends
paid yearly by the Sugar Trust. There is
every evidence that these two rival com
panies intend to fight. and fight hard.
And as long as the fight continues the
tendency of Sugar stock will be down
ward. Profits will be cut into They
must De DIS llle prices III sugar must Dc
cut during the competition, and as the
business must be divided with the rival
refineries. All this points TO lower prices,
for Sugar stock within a few weeks de-
spite the best manipulation of the Have
meyer representatives.
Indeed it seems very likely that the
Havemeyers do not object to lower prices.
What they desire is fiuctuatioQ, in the
price of their stock. The Efdvemeyers
cannot make money on suser refining
during the fight and do not expect TO,
but they can manipulate the market up
and down and clear large profits directly
from the speculative public. The Sugar
Trust people have an almost perfect con-
troll of their stock. They will pay for
their fight with the Independent retiner-
les, and more than do it, out of their
market rigging.
THE end of the fight cannot be in
doubt. 1t will probably last long time
and Sugar stock will go down, way
down, in my opinion, but in the end the
Doschers and the Arbuckles must lose.
They wmIfnally sell out to the trust at
very low figure, or go bankrupt"

they had assigned thei. allotments. The
delay in sending ont the rest Of thu

planned in several ways. Some OF the
bonds had been held back because of fail
ure on the part OF subScrl bers TO comply
with the Governments regulations as t.
payment. In many cases the drawers of
checks included interest up TO only The
date on which the check WAS made. If
the check was on distant bank, several
days additional interest would be due.

collection OF the check; and delivery Of
the bonds would be received. Again,
many persons have changed their ad-
dresses since sending in their sub SC. ip
tions, and it has been found imp p1ssib
other explanation OF the delay in som
cases was said 10 be- the fact that vas.

1t is said, also. although not on the
authority of the sub-treasury "fticia :,
that one OF the chief causes Of tre lay
in delivering the remaining bon has
been the employment by the Treasury De
partment OF inexperienced clerks, ana
also the recent discharge Of most of the
special force employed, which was made
necessary by the giving out OF the ap
