Lyman J. Gage. secretary of the
United States treasury, arrived in the
city today on the way to Camp Tai

seemed in good spirits.
Speaking of the rumored intention of
Secretary Hay to retire from the cab
met, Mr.. Gage said:
Secretary Hay is getting tired of
the business. lie is a man of the
strictest honor. He is very sensitive
however, and 1t hurts him, after he has
worked hard, to be mtsrepresented
cartooned and 1ampooned. He is inde-
pendently rich He can do as he wishes,
go where ever ne desires. He has a
few very intimate friends, and he
would rather enjoy life surrounded by
agreeable companions and his books
than attend to the tiresome and
Changeless routine of the office of sec
rotary of state. I should not be sur
prised if he would soon withdraw. If
so, Root will probably be his sue

Havemeyer Starts to Drive Beet
People Out Of Trade.
What His Big Cut in Sugar
Prices Means.
CONTRACTS ARE MADE
I'm Accordance With the Figures
OF the Trust.
Oxnards Must Sell Their Pro-
duct Below Cost.

New York, Oct. 3-The Journal of
commerce says: President H. o. Have
Eneyer of the American Sugar Refining
company was at his office this week for
1.-THE first time since his illness, and 1t has
Fbeen learned that one of his first Off
lcial acts was to authorize one of the
most spectacular reductions in refined
sugar prices that have ever been made.
This was the reduction announced in
Tuesdays dispatches. 1t applies only to
such sections of the country in which
beet sugar completes
The cut in price to Missouri river
points was to 315c per pound net for
granu1ated. On Tuesday the net quo
tations was 5.03c net. In other words,
MIR. Havemeyer has authorized a cut
slightly in excess of 175c per pound.
To understand the Importance of this
cut to beet sugar manufacturers it
should be mentioned that the practice
Eof the beet people is to make contracts
for their entire production at prices
based ON the selling price of the sugar
combine the date of delivery The
beet people have heretofore been easily
able to dispose of all their sugar at a
Sugar Refining company's figures. This
means if the beet people live up to their
contracts, that they will receive but
. 2-5c per pound for their product. 1t
is understood. however, that the beet
sugar people will refuse to recognize the
cut made by the American Sugar Re
filming company on the technical ground
that 1t is in restraint of trade. The beet
sugar refiners of Utah, Colorado, Cali
fornia and Nebraska are the refiners
concerned. The American Sugar Re
filming company usually supplies sugar
for the Missouri river points from its
New Orleans and Pacific coast refineries.
They now have, however, at least 10000
barrels Of granulated sugar held on con-
signment at Kansas City and nearby
points shipped from New York during
the latter part of July and first half of
August 1t is expected that this cut
VIII have an unsettling influence upon
the local market, but it is not expected
that it viii be followed by any import
ant cut in prices in the eastern market.
No change was made in the sugar
combines prices for eastern markets
yesterday and the difference of 1.10c per
pound still holds between the price of the
raw and the manufactured article.
The American Sugar Refining COM
pzny people claim that beet interests
can produce granulated sugar at 21zc
Der pound and that there is therefore
good profit even at Sc per pound This
IS denied by the beet people
