SUGAR MEN TALK
Of RUSSIAN SUGARS

NewYork, Feb. 15.-Secretary Cages
order imposing a countervailing duty
of 80 cents on each pood (3G pounds) of
Russian sugar imported into this coun-
try is the subject of considerable COM
ment among sugar men. Alfred F.
Gray of Willett & Gray said:
Some time ago the Secretary sent
an expert to investigate the sugar
growing industry in Russia and to find
out II Russia really paid a bounty,
either direct or indirect. on sugar pro-
duction. II has not as yet been deter
mined whether or not Russia has
differential bounty on the expectation
of refined sugar. 1t was found, how
ever, that the Russian system of con-
trolling the supply, as well as the do
nestle price of sugar, operated as a
bounty to the manufacturers of that
country. The action of Secretary Gage
indorses the vote of the conference
held last year at Brussels, to the eff
feet that Russia should be placed upon
the same basis with other countries in
the payment of countervailing duties
on sugar. Now that the duty has been
imposed upon Russian sugar, there will
be no more exports of the product to
this country, because the new extra
duty OF 81 cents a hundred pounds will
practically exclude Russia from our
market. This will mean a cessation of
only 100000 worth of business year.
"The Russian product, under the po-
lariscope, tests quite as well as the
American product. 1t closely resem-
bles the Louisiana product and has
been used here by manufacturers, since
1t answers all the purposes of high
grade white sugar. The Russians have
enjoyed a profitable sugar exporting
business, for they were able to send
their product here at half a cent
pound less than the cost of production
here"
President Post of the National Sugar
Refining Company said that the Rus
slams were placed on the same basis
with the Austrians, French and Ger
mans, and, therefore, had no right to
complain against the imposition Of the
extra duty. Continuing, he said:
k'Russia will not resort to retallatory
kdecrees. She can buy to the best ad-
Santage in our markets, and price Is
generally the determining factor in the
business relations Of peoples

er, than in the big department stores, in
Portland or The Dalles, and even cheap
fare to Portland is not enticing many TO
90 away from home to do their shopping
for holiday goods. A young man in
Hood River bought watch in Portland
for which he paid $l5 He came home
and priced abe same kind of watch in
a Hood River jewelry store and found
he could have bought it for $l2.75. An
other man priced some overcoats in a
Portland department store. The over
coat he wanted was marked $l4, but he
didn't have the price with him. He
came home and purchased an oyercoat
OF the same style and goods in a Hood

line of goods. Our merchants have the
goods and can sell as cheap as mer-

well afford to patronize home merchants
when you know it is cheaper in every
way to do so.
