Is Run Very Secretly.

The "kartell is run very secretly.
but from confidential reports shown
10 a press representative in London
il is learned that il consists of ar
ironclad combination Of almost al
refners and producers to keep III
the price of sugar in Germany. Thi.
is done SO successfully that German
consumers to-day pay thrice as much
for sugar as the Briton does for the
same article imported from Ger

THE GERMAN "KARIHL."
A Great Trust Exists in Germany
That Controls the Price OF
Sugar Elsewhere.
Is KNOWN At HOME AS THE "KARTELL. ="
IL Is Predicted that. Unless It's Pow
err is Broken. 1t VIII. Within the
Next Two Years Ruin the Beet
and Cane Sugar Industry In other
Countries.

London. Nov. 24.-The British sugar
magnates assert that their investiga-
tions have shown the existence IN
Germany of n great trust called the
"kartell," which has been in existence
about a year. and that it is chiefly
owing to its agency that sugar has
been forced down in England and 9TH
er countries to its lowest point in the
history OF the industry, and that Ger
many, to-day, is enabled to dictate to
the world the price of that commodi-
ty. The exact extent of the "Karteif'
was discovered, they say, only quite
recently. The magnitude of its opera
tions supplies the missing factors in
the present alarming condition of the
sugar market

The pay rolls of the board of cleo

600; ballot printing, $4,000: incident
ais, $4,000, and the rest went to reg
istration and election officers. The
state also expended about $4,000 in
connection with the election.
The Forrest City times., 1901-11-29
4 binding Agreement.

The members of the "kartell' bind
themselves to buy from and sell to
only those affiliated with the COM
bine. This has worked so satisfac-
torily that the "Kartell" now includes
practically every factor Of the sugar
interests in Germany from the agri-
cultural producer TO the refner. The
latter agrees always to pay 1275
marks per hundred weight for the
raw article, though natural condi-
tions might ordinarily allow him 70
buy three marks cheaper This, how
ever. insures a more permanently
high price to the Germany consumer.
Enormous Profits Divided
The enormous profits consequent
upon these methods are pooled in the
"kartell" and are divided upon an
elaborate and ingenious scale, and
the surplus product is disposed of ar
a slight loss in other European and
American markets, though even this
deficit IS often made up by the boun-
~ that Germany provides.
British sugar authorities are quot
ed as saving that the German "Kar-
tell and bounty combined, will, with
in two years, ruin the beet and sugar
cane industry in other countries, e.
pecially in Cuba and other West In
dies.
The Forrest City times., 1901-11-29
Germany'> Beet Sugar Output.

The latest figures available in Lon
don show that Germany now pro-
duces one-third of the worlds supply
of beet sugar. of which she exports
no less than l.250,000 tons after com
pletely supplying her own population.
These exports, which are almost one
fifth of the worlds available supply
are sent out at loss to German man
ufaeturers. but thanks to the "Kar-
tell" plus the bounty. they are able
not only to make up for this. but to
reap handsome profit in addition TO
gaining absolute control of the sugar

A Common Enemy to Fight.

The abolition of this organization
will be one of the chief objects of the
nations other than Germany attend
ing the forthcoming Brussels conven-
ton. Already British firms have en-
tered into negotiations with leading
American sugar interests. and tables
are now being drawn up showing the
transactions of the "kartell" with a
view of submitting them to the au-
thoritics at Washington. The British
government will be urged to empow-
er its representatives at the Brussels
conference TO threaten retailiatory
countervailing measures unless the
"kartell' is broken up or at least
modified.
