SUGARS Sans SAND
THERE is SADNESS OVER SWEET
NESS IN THE CITY OF MANY
MILLS
TRUST AND ARBUCKLE SUGAR
The Latter offered in Minneapolis
at an Eighth of Cent Pound
Cnder Trust Sugar - Serious
Complications In the Coffee Trade
Expected News of the Flour
City.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 3.-The little
nnpleasantness which arose between
the sugar trust and the Arbucl1le peo-
ple does not seem to be settled yet, al
though much effort has been made to
keen the real situation from the at
tention of the public 1t is not so very
long ago that there was trouble over
the question in Chicago, and there is
now a well-defined rumor that it will
very likely extend to this section OF
the country.
When the Arbuckles gained possess
sion of the several large sugar reln-
cries purchased by them some time
since they attempted to compete with
the trust in Chicago, but found that
they could only do so by selling direct
to the retailer, which was done, and is
yet being done in that city
The representative of the Arbuckle
people recently visited Minneapolis in
an effort to make terms with the job
bers here upon basis by which they
would handle Arbuckle sugar at one
eighth of a cent a pound less than the
trust article was being sold to retail
ers. but as the deal contemplated the
shrinking of the jobber's profit by ex-
actly the amount that the retailer was
given the benefit of. it is needless to
say that the arrangement was not con-
Summated.
The Arbuckles thereupon expressed
their intention to follow the Chicago
plan and sell direct to the retailer.
1t is said by those who claim to be on
the inside that this plan will not work
here for the reason that the retail groc-
ers of this city and St. Paul have an
association which is itself very much
in the nature of a trust, and that they
viii refuse to purchase the Arbuckte
sugar direct, considering their amicable
relations with the jobbers of the Twin
Cities of far more Importance than the
fraction of a cent per pound that the
new deal would save tC them on their
sugar.
1t is understood that the Arbuckles
threaten to invade the territory of the
trust, even if compelled to establish
local distributing points in each city
and sell their product at retail direct
to the consumer. This, if attempted,
will certainly precipitate a fight be-
tween themselves and the trust, the
outcome of which 1t is hard to predict.
The reported disagreement Of the
johberS and the Arbuckles upon the
sugar question may result in serious
complications in the coffee trade, as
1t is stated that the Arbuckles have
threa tened to take their coffee from
all jobbers who refuse to come to
terms as to the handling of their SUI
gar. The public will await further
developments with great interest and
stand ready to take advantage of any
good which may inure to them by rea-
son of the disagreement of these two
great commercial bodies.
