place all their available resources at the
disposal of borrowers, without regard to
the effect on the. surplus reserve: The
knowledge OF this determination had much
to do with allaying the apprehension. The
higher rates for money during the day
were due to discrimination, on account OF
the character Of collateral where indus

not to call a meeting for tomorrow,
though further sessions can be had at

Yesterdays unprecedented events on the

to the financial district TINS morning. The

crowds of all sorts and conditions OF men
and women surrounded the approaches.
The strain upon the brokers and oper-

made scenes OF inextricable confusion.

still materially lower, though very SUBJ

days extreme loss The days advances

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Its Workings Explained Before the
Industrial Commission.

Industrial Commission.
Owing 20 the absence of Hermann Sule-
ken, of New York, who was to have testi-
fed before the Industrial Commission yes
terday on the Sugar Trust, no testimony
was received by that body in the morn
ing The time was taken up by busi-
ness meeting. The report of the expert
agents on agriculture was received by the
special committee having that branch of
the enquiry in hand.
At the afternoon session G. Waldo Smith,
of New York President of the American
Grocers' Association, and member of the
firm of L. w. & p Armstrong, who was
scheduled to testify later in the week,
made his appearance and was asked to give
his testimony, which he did.
Mr.. Smith explained the business
methods of the Sugar Trust so far as their
dealings with the wholesale grocers was
concerned He was in favor of the or
ganization, and said that previous to the
organization of the trust there was no
profit in sugar for the grocer. Since that
time a rebate system had been vogue and
the handling of sugar had been put on
profitable basis.
He favored trusts so long as they did not
raise the price of the commodity which
they controlled. The witness had no sug-

would not reach the cases at all.
The new member of the Commission who

tician of the Census Bureau, was discuss
ed among the members yesterday. Albert
Clarke, who was announced by the Presi-
dent on Saturday as his choice for the
place, is regarded as an excellent man for
the place.
In speaking of the appointment yester-
day Mr.. North, who is personally acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Clarke, spoke of him in the
highest terms. He is a man of excellent
character and a splendid record. He has
served several terms as State Senator in
Vermont. He went to Boston TO reside
about twelve years ago, taking the secre-
taryship OF the Home Market Club. Since
his residence in Massachusetts he has sery-
ed three or four terms in the lower branch
of the State Legislature from Wesley,
and the last two years of his service he
was chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee. He is q man about fifty years OF
