THE SUGAR DIVIDEND.
:. V. White Thinks IL VIII BE Cut
One-HaIf.

NEW YORK, March Sugar broke be-
low par today and Wall Street was filled
with reports about the action the directors
will take or may have taken on the next
dividend
Wall Street takes it for granted that the
dividend meeting of the American Sugar
Refining Company will be held on We'd
nesday next, but there is no special reason
why this date should be observed. The di-
rectors will in all probability meet some
day next week, but 1t is not impossible
that they have already met and decided on
their action.
The statement OF President Havemeyer
at the annual meeting was taken as
clear intimation that a continuation of di-
vidend payments OF Il per cent per annum
could not be looked for. The general i'm
preston continues to be that the dividend
will be cut in half.
s, V. White, who has always been In
close touch with sugar interests, said to-
day:
IF / were guessing, I would say the
dividend will be at the rate of per cent
I have spoken to many of my friends in
the trade, and they state that the Sugar
Company has lost s15,000,000 during the
year, In spite of the fact that during that
period a settlement might have been
effected. and the American company could
then have sold Just as much OF its product
as II did with the trade war In progress.

THE COTTON MILL COMBINE.
Renewed Efforts to Consolidate the
Fail River Properties.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March Col.
Nelson G. Greene, of New York, was in the
city today in the interest OF the syndicate
that is endeavoring to consolidate the Fall
River cotton mills. This scheme was tried
early last fall, but for various reasons fell
through. This time the syndicate will
make more determined efforts to attain
success. The valuations placed upon the
stock some months ago have been in
creased, and it is said that the offers for
the best mills Will be liberal Still there
is now a stronger sentiment than ever
against selling to trust. The belief Is
general among stockholders that no deal
can be made, and they see no reason why
they should be party to one. The Fall
River cotton mills are enjoying a season
Of prosperity that surpasses the record Of
years and the outlook is encouraging.
Today cloth went up to 8 IL cents a
yard, and at the present rate OF profit
mills are paying about s per cent, with
chances favorlng an increase. Business
is booming along all lines as a result.

COTTON STILL HIGHER.
Southern Interests Holding Firm mt
Nine Cents.

NEW YORK, March European cotton
consumers appeared again today as buyers
Of cotton in this market on so large scale
that the downward tendency Of yesterday s
closing was at once arrested, and quick
recovery Of 13 TO 20 points ensued. Under
this buying the market reached highest
prices vet touched. contracts for July de-
livery selling at 9.32 cents, against pre-
vious high level Of 9.29.
Southern speculative interests were sup
porters Of the market and reports fIom
producing points were that farmers were
holding out for the Scent level, and not
selling freely at concessions. as eonse-
auence of which spot cotton throughout
the South holds very strong. 1t was ad-
mitted, however that the market was full
of speculation, and a sharp reaction after
todays high prices were touched reflected
the local uncertainty.

The prospect OF aggravated labor troubles
In the West was apparently the cause Of
the break in the stock market yesterday
afternoon. During the morning hours the
general list was slow, in sympathy with
Third Avenue and Sugar, but this dull
ness and tendency to decline were unim-
portant when compared with the radical
weakness, in the indUstrials especially,
during the afternoon. The breaks were
from ! TO or points all over the indus
trial list. and the close was almost at the
bottom The labor situation has POSSIBLE
lilies OF acutely disagreesble Developments,
and the market Is nearly always extremely
sensitive TO strike news. The deplorable
condition Of the Third Avenue business
and the talk OF the passage Of the Sugar
dividend do not lose their influence as
bear factors In the least. 1t is not TO be
wondered that even the standard railway
securities made small losses yesterday, and
81 is not in the least improbable that the
downward tendency Of the market may be
continued today. The bank statement Is
almost sure to be a very poor one, as bad
as that Of last week. This too, will have
its influence. before the figures appear, at
least.

THE BANK RESERVE.
A Withdrawal of 81, ADS, 900 by the
sub-Treasury.


NEW YORK, March Bank officers

this centre as a result of the Treasury
Withdrawals (tbis weeks Sub Treasury re-
ceipts exceeding payments by s. ,49s, O0ol
and requirements Of mercantile borrowers.
one prominent downtown bank reported to-
day greater demands for accommodation
from its own customers than at any time
for months past. The bank has important
connections in the wholesale district Of this
city and at interior centres Of trade, where
general activity In all branches OF business
indicates unusual employment for capital.
Some OF the largest banks prefer per
cent rate for call loans to a 4 IL basis
Tor time transactions, the belief being that
heaVy demands may arise before long for
the employment of all funds available at
this centre. New York branches of Ca
radian banks reported this afternoon heavy
shipments of money to Montreal, 100000
or more having been shipped there this
week. This outflow is attributed to the
higher money rates prevailing at Montreal,
where . per cent is obtainable. Bankers
reported likelihood OF continued with
drawals for that centre unless unforeseen
obstacles impede the movement.
The interior movement, strictly speak
ing, is still against local banks, although
this weeks results were modified by as
say office payments of S1.l50,000 on ac-
count OF gold received from the Pacific
Coast. and offset by Withdrawals Of money
for Canada.

that higher money at this city would bring

way securities. are certain to be hurt.
They are fighting against the entire coun-
try. The talk of tight money is heard
again, but like the talk OF lessening rail-
way earnings it is simply untrue. There
is good prospect now Of importations of
gold. Cotton prices are so high and the
British demand for the product is so great
that financial people consider the outlook
for British shipments of gold in the near
future excellent. Wall Street people are
expecting much from the Currency bill,
also.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Heavy Argentine Wheat Shipments

CHICAGO, March Wheat opened low

Argentine shipments, 2,9S4,19O bushels.
Local traders were rather free sellers.
There was a disposition on the part o.
prominent shorts 10 cover. The market
rallied in the last hour on reported better
cash demand, there being 10000 bushels
worked here and thirty-two boat loads at
the seaboard. Paris closed 34c higher.
Primary receipts were slightly under last
years. Clearances for the day were light,
Sc, 600 bushels.
Corn, both for speculation and for cash,
was slow today. There was some increase
in the Western offerings, the reduced bids
to the seaboard making 1t possible to bid
considerably better prices in the West.
Not much business was done here in cash,
the Seaboard preferring to make its bids
direct to the West, as under the new tariff
they can get the same rate from the Mis-
sissppi River as from Chicago.
There is some buying of May oats and
selling OF July on the theory that so much
snow promises very excellent conditions
for spring work There was a very large
shipping business done yesterday on the
low rates. but not so much today.
turther weakness II the neg market
made provisions easier early, but there was
a sharp rally late on a good demand from
packers and local operators influenced by
the light stocks here and in the worlds
visible supply OF lard. There was consid-
cradle profit taking on the advance, which
caused a slight setback from top prices,
and the market closed firm.

several days. and made a low record Of

bic in the price attracted much attention,

and more around %. There was nothing
new In the developments of the day re
garding the company or its stock. COM
mercial authority of some prominence is
publishing statements to the effect that the
company is losing several cents on every
barrel Of refined sugor sold, and must be
losing hundreds Of thousands Of dollars in
operation every quarter, to say nothing Of
paying dividends Of 81 O00, 600 year. This is
very good as a bear argument but il is i'm
possible 10 say what the trust is doing new
ertheless. Even if il is losing money in re-
ining sugar, it may be making money
selling Sugar stock short. The meeting Of
the directors OF the company will take
place next Wednesday, as heretofore stated.
Many careful brokers express the belief
that whatever the dividend declared may
be. or even if it is passed entirely, the
stock viii be an excellent purchase when
the news Of the meeting is out. 1t is not
impossible that the upward movement may
begin before that time Sugar stock is not
like Third Avenue, even if the dividend is
passed.

A Question Of Ratio.

The News is devoting considerab BILE
space to local item which appeared
few days ago in the APPEAL, relating
a conversation regarding the silver and
gold ratio. 1t was in no way an editor
ial opinion, but merely the recording
OF political discussion.
The News asserts that statistics show
that the product Of silver as compared
to gold during the last statistical year
10 the United States was % to l.
1t does not give any reference what
ever or tell the reader where the
authorities can be found.
McCarthy's Statistician, regarded as
absolute authority on the subject, does
not bear out these figures.
1t gives the total prod uct of gold in
the United States for 1898 at S77, OOO, :
600 in round numbers, and silver at
s7S, OOO, 600. This is hardly a ratio of
% to l.
(See McCarthy's Statistician for 1899
and 1900. Page 2O1.)
The total product for the world up
to June 30, 1881, he estimates in the
same volume, page GOA, in round num-
bers, gold, twelve billions: silver, ten
billions
When the Congress G: the United
States fixed the ratio at Is to l, it was
because that was regarded as the natu-
raj ratio based upon the product.
The French Government fixed its
ratio at 10! to l.
The News ratio, % to |. is not likely
to ever be seriously considered by any
government, unless, possibly Mckinley
and Hanna conclude this ratio will sui,
A., the gold men.
| The constitutional question touched
on in the argument has been carefully
, avoided in The News.
All the figures in McCarthy's worl
are based on ratio of one ounce O
/ gold to sixteen ounces of silver.
