might say that we also have twelve
1000 bushel hopper scaesin one elevator
and eight 400 hushel hopper scales in
another, which have given us no trouble

write you this from he f ct that we
take great pride in the satisfaction given
by the scales which you represent, and
we thank you tor all past favors and for
the attention given IN setting up the
scales in our elevators"
Perhaps better ilust ration OF the
deicacy and sensitrveness OF these large
scaIts is shown by the workings of a
scale manufactured for the Watervet
Arsenal at West Troy, N Y, for weigh
ing ordinance. The capacity of this
scale is one hundred and fifty tons with
a platform 12' X 15/ 1t responded with
accuracy to 10 d OF one hundred and

taken off the beam was tipped by the
weight of a dollar bill
The extensive use to which these scales
are put in the stock yards and elevators
of Chicago may be realized from the
following data complied at Chicago
several years ago. I'm this city are
more than two. hundred hopper scales,
which in ten years have we gled thirty

SUGAR REFINING STOCK.

Buying of American Sugar Refining stock has
been the leading feature in the market of the last
few days. a pool is at work in this stock, and
while 1t is said that 40 is the objective point, 1t
will doubtless happen that profits will be taken this
side Of that figure. In fact. yesterdays adj
vance heavy realizing sales reported. 1t is
generally believed that refined sugars will be adj
vanced another ten points. Sentiment Sugar
stock has changed with the big advance in the
price of the raw and refined products and credu-
lous traders believe that the Sugar Refining
company will begin to disburse extra divi-
dends and possibly restore the old y per cent rate
me American Sugar Refining Company is doing a
big business at the moment, but it should be borne
in mind that competition is still active. and that
the present high price for refined sugars will not
hold beyond the active trade On this point
Wilet & Gray say:
There is a free chance for refined until the do
mestic crops of sugar appear late in September,
and buyers will doubt be protected in prices
until then The difference of los cents is not
has occasionally been 12S cents hundred
pounds. However, at los cents ii may be well to
begin to use some caution in purchases beyond

FLOUR TRUST REORGANIZATION

Rapid progress is being made with the reorpani
cation of the United States Flour Milling COMPANY
and hopes are entertained that il will be completed
by August l. 1t is said that four-ffths of tho
bondholders have signed the agreement for the
reorganization. but as the other NTH refuses TO go
into the plan a formal sale Of the property NAV
take place under the direction the United States
Court. which will fix the minimum price and the
representatives of the plan of reorganization will
bid IL in.
George w Ballou, who is largely interested in the
reorganization, in commenting upon the scheme
said:
The reorganization will be successful Nearly all
the creditors have assented to the plan and the
committee will meet soon to put the plan in opera-
ton: 1t must be done by August l. so as to obtain
the benefit of the milling season at the head OF the
lakes. The success of the new companies depends
upon having these mills in operation, The security
holders and creditors realize this now
showing more interest In tho reorganization we
have demonstrated that the mills can be made 10
pay good returns under proper management and
the business under the reorganized company will
be pushed with practical men at every point

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

The known movement of money in the week sug-
gests a gain in cash and surplus holdings in to-
days bank statement The gain from all sources
is about 81 100000. but the showing may be more
favorable, by the average system employed gold
shipments will figure in the averages for only two
days. The Sub-Treasury would have lost money to
the banks in the week if it had not been for gold
exports. pension and other Government pay
ments were large. An improved inquiry for call
money reported yesterday; also for time
money, in which rates for sixty day loans were up
one-haIf Of per cent. The foreign exchange mar
ket strong and higher. but gold taken

the fact that no steamer sails for France to-day.
