THE GENERAL MARKET.

The result as figured for the first year
of the coffee war is 1850, 600 lost TO Ar
buckle ana a profit Of s20O,0OO for the
Havemeyer people 1t is believed in
Wall street that Mr.. AIbuckle has also
been whipped in Sugar share specula-
tons 1t is declared that the sharp up
ward turns in Sugar have been part
Of the war tactics to force losses upon
the outside refiners and to prevent their
squaring accounts by selling Sugar
shares short If Mr. Arbuckle keeps out
Of Wall street and is now content to do
the coffee business on q small profit, it
is difficult TO see wherein with his II
millions Of capital he can be defeated
by the American Sugar Refining Co,
whether the latter has Is or so millions
TO lose IN the fight.
A large operator in Sugar makes the
following statement: THE extraordin-
airy rise in Sugar a few weeks ago,
While made by Mr.. Lawson, was the re-
suit of an understanding between vari-
Gus interests. Mr.. Lawson would not
have undertaken the campaign without
such assurances as he received in re-
gard to cooperation or al least the
freedom from interference by prominent
interests in the sugar properties.
The strength in Dominion Coal is said
to be based upon the fact that favorable
legislation has just been obtained from
Nova Scotia Legislature which will en-
able the building of an iron and steel
plant at Capt Breton. This will mean
an increased consumptiVe demand of
100000 tons Dominion coal and will
establish the Dominion Coal common
stock upon 6 per cent basis.
Tie New York Journal Of Commerce
notes that so much iron and steel ma
terial has been sent from here to Dem
mark lately that American mills have
established a reputation in that coun-
try. Even at the advanced prices at
which iron and steel material are sell
ing here today the orders from Copen-
hagen are arriving at a satisfactory
rate. In iron pipe alone one contract
has just been taken said to be valued

The MARKET ELSEWHERE.

ment which started Saturday received
its first material check shortly before

ably above the million share mark. with

The mill tax bill, which was reported
yesterday by the committee on edlca-

vetoed by the governor two years ago.
The report of the committee was unani-
nous and it is expected that 1t will
pass the legislature. Many cities and
towns lose from their school funds IN
der the bill and others gain, the basis
being the number OF pupils.
