Cutting Prices

Cutting Prices
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE Herald to-
day says: AS the Arbuckle sugar refin-
cry in Brooklyn approaches completion
the war of the sugar-trust people upon
the coffee trade of the Arbuckles grows
hotter. Last week the Arbuckles dis
patched an agent to Europe to contract
for raw sugars and yesterday the Wool
son Spice Company-the big coffee COM
pany secured by Mr.. Havemeyer to car
ry on the war with, reduced the price of
roasted coffee half a cent pound. This
cut. like all others Of the long series that
preceded 1t. was promptly met by the
Arbuckles.
This brings the price Of roasted coffee
at wholesale down to 81s cents pound
as against Is cents on December 16, 1896
when the Havemeyers acquired the
Woolson plant and began the fight. The
consumer can now buy the unprecedent-
ed amount Of ten pounds of roasted cof.
fee for 81 in almost any part of the
United States, where formerly he GO
but four pounds. In coffee trade circle,
| 1t was said yesterday that the Arbuck
les are holding a very large amount o.
coffee, and that the cut in price is Sc
rious business for them. On the Other
hand. it is expected that their sugar re.
finery will be ready to start UP by May
list, when they may carry the war into
the enemy'S camp.
