SUGAR PRICES DOWN.

The American Sugar Refining Company has cut
the price of all sugars 10 cents the hundred
pounds Heretofore the reductions have not ex-
ceeded five cents at time. The omission of the
wCrd quarterly" In the Sugar Refining dividend
announcement has caused considerable talk In Wall
Street but If reference is made 10 the last three
dividend announcements IL Will be seen that the
word quarterly" has been omitted. Prior to last
June 1t was the custom OF the company TO state
definitely that the dividend quarterly dis
bursement The Street will merely be forced to
begin its guessing again about the next dividend
as the action of the directors on Monday was not
accompanied by any explanation or statement. OF
course, no the few insiders knows
whether the company Is making or losing
money but as the concern has always been ably
