INTO THE SUGAR TRADE.
Standard Oil Company Will Open an
Immense Glucose Factory.

New York, Dec. 20.-E. T. Bedford, Of
the Standard Oil company, confirms the
report that several large capitalists
identified with that corporation are
about to organize a 100000 glucose
company, to operate a large plant at
Shady Side, N. J., independent of the
Glucose Sugar Refining company, or
any other company 1.-The sole reason
that we are going into this enterprise, "
explained Mr.. Bedford, lis that by
means of new processes we believe that
we can produce an article superior 10
any upon the market
The leading interests back OF the new
company are understood to be H. H.
Rogers. c. H Pratt, William Rookie
Teller and E. T. Bedford The new plant
is to have a capacity of 10000 bushels
Of corn day, and this may be doubled
later. Thomas Gaunt will have active
charge of the operation of the new en-
terprise-
The fact that the hackers of the new
company selected a location in the east
instead of near the great corn belt is
viewed with much interest by local glu-
cose men. 1t has generally been con-
tended that a western location was
preferable.
The cheap rates on corn from Chi
cago. however, contrast sharply with
the rate on glucose, and it is claimed
that on local business the advantage IS
rather in favor of an eastern plant 1t
would appear that the new company
will probably leave western markets
alone and devote its energies to the
local and other nearby markets, and es-
peciaIIy to building up an export trade.

SIX BIG STEAMERS
Contracted For by the United Foreign
Fruit Company.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The Journal of
Commerce prints the following:
L. c. Durham, the second vice presi-
dent of the United Fruit company, has
contracted through their brokers, Ben
nett, Walsh & Co., for six new steamers
to meet the requirements of their for
e1gn trade, and have also through Ben
nett, Walsh & Co. chartered these
steamers for four years with options.
These steamers are to be from 1000 to
5000 tons cubic capacity for cargo, and
VIII be lifted especially for carriage of
perishable cargoes of fruit, as well as
general cargoes, and will be fully pro-
y1ded with electric lights throughout
and every modern device for the rapid
handling Of fruit and general cargoes.
Elegant passenger accommodations for
"a to 30 passengers will be furnished;
saloons, state-roomS, social hall, smOk-
ing room, etc, to be placed amidships
on the upper deck, with extra large
state-roOms, to meet the requirements
of tropical trade, and all the conven-
fences found in modern transatlantic
liners.
The contracts call for an average
speed of Ia knots per hour at sea, load
ed. The vessels will be ready for deliv-
cry next fall, and will Immediately en-
ter into the different trades to which
they will be assigned. The United Fruit
company, at the present time own or
have under charter between so and 20
steamships, and every modern device
up to date as to improvement in pass
enger service and the rapid and safe
handling of cargoes, which on account
of their perishable nature, makes speed
the all-essential feature in these steam
ers, has been very carefully attended to.
Names have been decided upon for
four of the vessels, and will be given
them at their launching, viz:
The Preston. Taunton, Brighton and
Beacon. The Preston is now building
at the Bergen Mekanislze yards, Bergen,
Norway and will be spar deck steam

Credit Association to Expand.

New York, Dec. 20-Secretary Will
liam A. Prendergast, of the National
Association of Credit Men, has just re-
turned to this city from the regular
meeting of the directors of that asso-
citation, held in ST. Louis. He says the
sentiment Of the conference was that
the next national convention should ex-
tend its circle OF the south, the asso-
citation being now well organized and
represented in the north and west An
other matter of Importance considered
was the establishment of a bureau Of
investigation and prosecuting fraudu-
lent failures. This scheme will be put
into practical operation as soon as the
necessary funds are raised by the vari-
Gus local associations. Mr.. Prendergast
says that pledges for different amounts
have been received from several local
credit mems associations.

ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
Strikers Are Not Yet Through at
Chicago.

No credence is placed in the published
reports of the result of the conference in
Chicago by the striking telegraphers at
Topeka headquarters.
They have a dispatch that another con-
ference is to be held today. General
Chairman Newman wired to that effect
last night. Their representative promised
to keep them posted, if anything hap
pened.
cit is unlikely that the committee would
give out any such statement as that with
which it is credited. Further along the
paper even says that Mr.. Barr refuses to
talk.

we are not going to accept any statements
along that line until they come from our
own men,

SHOT AT GUARD.
Robbers Secure Entrance to the
Treasurer's Office
In the Capitol Building at
Lincoln, Neb.
ARE FRIGHTENED AWAY
After an Exchange of Shots
With the Waterman.
Mussed Up the Room But Didn't
Get a Cent.
ARE FRIGHTENED AWAY

Lincoln. Neb.. Dec. 2O.-An unsuccess-
fui attempt was made to rob the state
treasury early today. According to the
story told by Night Watchman- F. NJ.
Good, he discovered three men in the
treasurer's Office at the state capitol at
3 o'clock. Two shots. he says. were fred
at him by the robbers. one passing
through the lapel of his coat. He fired
twice in return, apparently without
effect, and the robbers escaped without
having opened the treasury vault or Sc
cured anything of value.
The Waterman turned in a general
alarm from the state capitol. and al
most the entire police force FASTENED to
the building. The only evidence of the
attempted robbery found were the bull
let holes in the corridor walls. State
Treasurer Neserve was summoned and
found his Office in a state of disorder,
but the steel vault uninjured, and moth
ing of value missing so far as he could
tell According to the evidence of the
night Waterman the robbers entered
and escaped from outside windows.

PRAISED SLAVERY.
Superln tendent of Carlisle Indian
School Raised a Storm.

Superint endent of Carlisle Indian
School Raised a Storm.
New York, Dec. 2O.-A dispatch to the
Times from Carlisle, Pa, says:
In reply to a protest from Bishop
Francis H. Hill, of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church. Major Richard
H Pratt, superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian school, and an officer in the
Tenth (colored) cavalry, has written to
Bishop Hill defending his assertions as
to the benefits of slavery for the negro.
Major Pratt last week delivered an
address before the Cumberland County
Teachers institute, in which he spoke of
slavery as having been the means of
developing the negro race and bringing
it into beneficial contact with civiliza
ton. On the appearance of report of
his address, Bishop Hill, who lives at
Harrisburg, addressed a vigorous letter
to the major, demanding to know
what grounds he justified negro slavery.
Major Pratt in his reply said:
What I said was that slavery had
brought 10000 900 blacks from the toPrid
zone into this enlightened country,
pared them by association for citizen
ship. I am beginning to question wheth-
er freedom for your people in the United
States is going to be such boon to you
and to the United States
We blame the people of the south for
Jim Crow cars. The United States
makes a constitutional amendment that
there shall be no distinction on account
of race, color or previous conditions of
servitude.' Then congress Immediately
legiSlates that there shall be two regi-
ments of cavalry and two of infantry,
made up entirely of colored men,
You certainly have no grounds to
quarrel with slavery unless you regret
being transplanted from the jungles of
Africa and your low estate there to the
freedom and intelligence in
the United States you now enjoy, for
slavery was the bridge that carried you
over, and there was not and is not, an
other bridge equal to that Job,

sailing. Il have Travelled all over the
east, through the SOUTH and as far west
as Denver, and I safely say that
have been surprised at the widespread
popularity of the game. Atlantic City
I consider one of the best courses in the
country, and it would make an admira-
Bile site for the next amateur champion
ship. Newport and Apawamis come
close to Atlantic City in excellence. The
best amateurs here have a good mastery
of the game, but / am frank to say that
they are not yet up to the class of the
leading amateurs in England and Scot
land
c. s. Cox, who has acted as Vardon's
manager during the year, said that no
definite plans have been made regarding
Vardon's return. If Vardon does come
back it will probably be in the spring.

IRON TRADE REVIVES.
Year Closes With the Business in Ex-
celIent Condition.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 20-The Iron Trade
Review this week viii say:
Seldom has a year closed with the iron
trade in such satisfactory condition
from the standpoint of both buyer and
seller. as is the case at present. Produc-
ton of pig iron is increasing, after five
months of steady curtailment following
June At the same time stocks, which
on November ], for the first time in the
year showed a decline are now belnS
reduced sharply, as indicated by a fall
ing off of 1000 tons between November
and December L. Prices that in the sum-
mer months had fallen below the cost
line to many producers, have made d
moderate advance. and are now on a
level insuring a fair profit, though the
mills have Jared better in this respect
than the blast furnaces thus far The
latter as rule have sold for the first
quarter Of 1901. and in some cases for the
first half; but here as in finished mater
ial, there has been much more than the
usual conservatism in cOmmittals on fu-
ture business, and sellers are in position
to realize on a large part of their output
in 1901 whatever return general cOndi-
tons in the new year may bring.
Coke contracts have been made for the
I1rSJ half of 1901 in q good many inStan-
ces and the price to furnace men has
not been above $1-75 for ConnellsvilIa
coke, while producers in other districts
have tied up at $3.50 to $1.60. The cues
tiOn of Lake Superior ore prices is en-
appointed meeting of the Bessemer Ore
association are incorrect. No light has
come as yet on the situation as it re-
lates to merchant furnaces producing
Bessemer iron. Steel works with per
hapS one exception. are not likely 10
want outside metal for some months.
An offer to sell a block of $4,000 tons al

now reported, but portions of this
amount have sold at S13.25 and $13 so

OF foundry iron are firmer in their views

The consumption of finished material

are well supplied with work and the
slackening Of operations at the turn OF
the year viii be only such as holiday OBJ
servances and necessary repairs require
Ihe interruption will scarcely be felt in
the consumption Of pig iron and half IN
asned steel The plate mills are conspic-
uouS IN their accumulation of orders
all being filed for weeks ahead, and the
largest producers for nearly six months.
The abolition of commissions by the
plate pool. following the practice of the
beam pool, will have a tendency to re-
strict sales in territory remote from the
mill. except in cases of direct represen-
tation through agencies. A meeting OF
structural steel manufacturers at New
York last week made no change in prices
which are likely to remain unaItered m
