SUIT NOT WITHDRAWN.
Arguments Submitted in Arbucklea

 and Sugar Refining Co.'S Suit.
 New York, Mar 2S.-The Journal of Commerce says:
 It was learned from q reliable source last night that the suit in the supreme court of Ohio. between the Arbucl1les and the American Sugar Refining company, has not been with drawn. In fact. final argument in the matter is to be submitted at Col- umbus to-day.
 So far as the continuance of the suit indicating any change in the sugar. coffee war is concerned, there is little interest in that direction since both the coffee trade and the sugar trade are thoroughly convinced that an inform al ''gentlemens agreement has been in effect since the first of the year at least. In fact it is claimed that the agreement is much more than an il- formal one and that each party to it has the signature of it's rivals regard ing the conditions under which the armistice has been declared. It has also been learned that there is at the present time considerable friction in the carrying out of the agreement. It is. however, not expected that there will be any rupture, at any rate not before H. O. Havemeyer returns from abroad.
