One OF the tips yesterday was 10 buy
Denver common stock.
Federal Steel preferred received good
support yesterday. il was said that Mr.
Flower was buying 1t at the low level.
With the q per cent dividend so near II
would seem to be quite likely that this
stock might be advanced from its present
level even if the general market continues
weak. Chicago Gas, which pays per
cent and is hampersd by continual harass
ment from the Illinois Legislature and
the Chicago aldermen, is yet selling at 112
after a decline of six points. Federal Steel
preferred is 30 points below that level. AT
the present price in fact the stock would
pay over Z per cent on the investment
And this in face of the brilliant outlook
for the company, which certainly has a
greater future than the gas company.
Chicago Gas is looked on with much
favor at this level. To be sure the prom
ised support Of Mr.. Flower has not as vet
been forthcoming and the bears who load
ed up with the stock at between 113 and
I1S have made 4 good thing OF IL, and
this may give them courage for turther
attacks. On the other hand, IL is con-
tended that excellent buying, If not by
Mr.. Flower, was disclosed yesterday at the
low price.
There was good buying of Tobacco yes
terday when the stock began 10 sell be
low l40 and before the day was over net
gain of point and half had been made.
The acquisition of the Light & Myers
plant by the Union Tobacco Company is
unQuestionably a bear argument against
the trust stock. but it may prove that
the friends OF the company are powerful
and willing enough to keep the stock from
going lower.
The best showing for the day was made
by Metropolitan Traction, which scored 9
total gain of six points or more, and closed
within a fraction of the highest level OF
the movement. The recent advance OF
nearly $40 share on this stock and the ap-
parent intention of the hackers OF the ad-
vance not TO allow 1t to be lost makes il
4 most tempting buy as gamble.

The factory IS located some three
miles from the city of Binghamton on

Railroad. The main building is a
substantial brick structure, and the
storage room for the beets is partially
provided for by four mammoth sheds,
each $50 feet long, sixteen feet wide,
and twelve feet high. It was thought
that these sheds would furnish suf-
ticient storage room for the beets, but,
from the photograph, it will be seen
that many carloads have been dumped
upon the ground; indeed, there are
apparently moreupOn the ground than

of these filter presses, the juice goes
to the bleaching process. This is
done by means of fumes of sulphur.
The Juice is made to drip slowly over
a board filled with holes, and the sui

processes are preliminary to the

way through which runs water which
has been heated to the boiling point
in the factory. The beets are rolled
into this sluiceway and the current is
sufficient to carry them to the factory.
The warm water SO sOaks and loosens
the dirt that it is easily removed when
the beets get to the washing machine.
When the beets are unloaded into the
sheds the hand work upon them is
completed. and from that time they
are carried forward by water or by
machinery. As they lea the end of
the sluiceway they are seized by a
screw elevator aud raised to the fac
tory, where the first operation is the
washing. They are dumped into large
tanks where revolving arms attached
to a horizontal axis thoroughly churn
them around and constantly work
them forward toward the clean water.
They pass from the first washing tank
into a second one. and here the pro-
cess is repeated and the beets are
thoroughly cleaned. From the wash
ing tanks they &C to the bucket
| elevators and are carried to the top OF
the building. The next operation
(pnlping the beets) is done by a sys-
/ tenn Of knives OF scoops fastened to Il
horizontal wheel. The knives have
scallopel edges and are situated at
the bottom Of a large hopper. AS the
beets come down upon these rapidly
revolving knives they are literally cut
into shreds or pulp. This pulp is put
into what is called the 'ditfusion bat

TEN Of great tanks SO connected that
the water can pass from Il to the

beet pulp and the sugar is soaked
out, the water being passed from one
tank to another until it has become
saturated. when it is drawn Of. The
fresh water is always put in upon the
pulp, which IS most nearly ex-
hausted OF It's sugar content.
The waste pulp is carted out
of the building aud is almox
entirely a waste product. Il is relishet
by stock, and no doubt will soon be
priced as stock food. The Juice is
drawn from the battery and a meas.

simply large upright boilers which
by means Of pumps. The liquid boils
violently in them at q temperature OF
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and the
"boiling down is greatly fastened.
From the first boiling the Juice goes
to the sulphuration tanks, where it is
again bleached. After passing again
through the filter presses, all traces OF
sulphur and other impurities are re
moved. The s'boiling down is then
completed In vacuum pans. The next
operation is performed by the centrl-
fugals. In these rapidly revolving
cylinders the molasses Is thrown oft
from the PARTICLES OF sugar. The prin-
ciple is the same IS in the common
milk separator, where the cream IS
thrown out from the milk. The sugar
is very damp after being separated
/ from the molasses, and IS dried by be
ing passed through a long, slowly re-
v%olving cylinder. This cylinder IS
raised at one end and the sugar is
slowly moved along, passing oven
heated steam pipes until finally it
comes out Of the other end Of the
cylinder as crystallZed sugar.
The most troublesome product to
handle is the molasses. which is sepa
rated from the sugar 10y tue centri-
fugals. It is stored in large tanks in a
room heated to atemperature of about
1l5 degrees Fahrenheit. After remain
ing there for three weeks, 1t becomes
partially crystallized and is then taken
out and run through the mill again,
and a portion Of the sugar is extracted.
It is believed that American inventive
genius will devise machinery by which
this molasses can all be treated at
once without the necessity Of storing,
and the sugar all removed. Indeed,
it is said that the factory at Bay City
Mich, is SO equipped that all the
sugar is extracted within twenty-foul
hours.
Not all the sugar contained III the
beets can be extracted. From a tor

sugar, about $50 pounds OF sugar can
be secured. The Importance Of high
grade beets is very great, and the diff
ference between beets containing
twelve per cent. sugar and beets con
tanning fifteen per cent. sugar may
mean the difference between profit ant
loss. To illustrate this point. tn.
