The Roswell Survey FINISHED,

The surveying party consisting of
thirteen men with l.. j. Caswell ocat-
ing engineer, in charge arrived at the
city limits of Ell Paso yerterday after
noon after having completed the pre-
liminary survey of the proposed Pecos
Valley railroad from Roswell, N. NJ, to
this point.
The party has been out three months,
and has surveyed two hundred miles of
way. OF course a location survey will
have to be made before construction is
begun, but the projectcr RS think this will
be commenced Immediately.
The greater portion of the road will
be of ordinary mountain construction,
with no tunnels but plenty of steep
grades, sharp curves, and high trestles
A section of it is fiat and building here
will not be so costly.
The party regard their work satisfac-
torily, and believe that they have ac-
complished successfully peice of work
that presented at times its difficulties.

SUGARS Up FIVE POINTS.
SCARCITY OF THE RAW MATERIAL THE
CAUsE-CLosING OF REFINERIEs.

Because OF a scarcity In the supply OF sugars
the price OF all grades OF refined sugars was ad-
vanced five points yesterday. The American Sugar
Refining Company the first TO make the In
crease. and the independent refneries inne iiatey
followed the lead The advance brings tae price
OF fine granulated sugars to SIS cents pound. II
was due the prevailing scarcity OF the
terial that the McCohan Sugar Refinery closed down
Tuesday. and other refineries. II vas announced
yesterday, would cease operations from to-day
until Tuesday next. Some OF these factories are
conducted by the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. but at the Offices OF this company 1t de-
MED yesterday that che closing would be due TO
want Of the materials Mr.. Osborn, the gen.
eral sales agent Of the company asserted that the
only reason for shutting down the rehneries
the coming Labor Day holidays.
Mr. Osborn's explanation is supported by the
fact that the American Sugar Refining Company
is reported to have considerable sugar
hand, and also because it has been the custom Of
his company to stop work when labor Day inter
venes from the Friday night until the following
Tuesday morning.
On account of the seeming scarcity in sugars.
the demand for the refined article has increased
sharply during the last day or two and those
hners who well supplied with sugars will
reap large profits. 1t upon the theory that the
American company well situated IN this
spect that its securities gained full point yester
day.
James H. Post. president Of the National Sugar
Refining Company a concern that is closely iden-
uned with the American company, said yesterday:
Raw sugars are scarce, but our people happen TO
have them on hand II the scarcity should con-
tinue for week or ten days more, We might feel
the effects Of the shortage. but think that within
that time the situation will be relieved Cargoes
of raw sugars consigned from Java and other
growing centres are now ahoat and should begin TO
arrive here in about week do not consider It
likely therefore that the price Of refined sugar will
go higher in the future"
Mr.; Post, replying 70 an inquiry said he under
STOOD that the contracts entered into by the Aneri
can sugar Refining Company TO deliver refined
sugar upon prices based upon the market for
materials at the time the contracts had been made
had All been filed. and therefore the existing
scarcity would not work 10 the detriment Of the
company. The scarcity Of sugar he added
is due 10 the poor cane crop But the German
syndicate which controls the grades Of beet sugar
OF color lower than No IS will be ready to sell o
reasonaDle terms IN about a months time. because
the october crop viii be coming in. That will tend
20 better conditions and, moreover. rely
upon the october crop for good supply. and the
LOUISIANA crop will add about three hundred thou
SAND tons 20 the raw sugar resources" ."
