Cuts Price Of the Graduated Product Ia

Cuts Price Of the GRADUATED Product ID
the Far Western Territory.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-Another
aggressive move has been made by the
American Sugar Refining company in
the campaign which it has begun
against the beet sugar industry. The
cut in the price of granulated sugar
to all Missouri river points, which
was announced last week. has been
followed by a reduction in the price OF
beet and INT sugar in all states from
Colorado to California. The re6uc-
ton was announced by the Western
Sugar Refining company and amounts
to 30 cents a hundred on beet sugar
and IL cents a hundred on cane sugar.
Robert Oxnard. vice president OF
the American Beet Sugar association,
which is opposing the trust, said:
ut is a fact that the Western Sugar
Refining company has made a decline
of 20 cents per hundred on their cane
and 80 cents per hundred on
their beet sugars. This makes the
difference in their price between cane,
granulated and beet g%ranulated 20
points instead Of 10 points as hereto
fore. The cut affects all markets,
from California to Colorado, inclusive.
I know of no change in the general
situation on account Of it. Fur
Their than this I do not care to discuss
the matter at present"
In order to discriminate further
against beet sugar, the Western Sugar
Refining company, which is allied with
the sugar trust, has announced that
it will entertain no orders for gran
ulated sugar which call for over so
per cent of beet sugar, of which there
is a small supply in this market.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.

Cattlc-There was not a very heavy run
OF cattle and as the demand was rairiy
good the market was active and fully
steady on most lines of desirable cattle.
Receipts included about twenty-five cars
of corn-fed steers, and while the market
was not what would be called brisk, still
not far from steady prices were paid.
Owing to the fact that there were quite a
few offered buyers took their time, and
in some instances sellers thought they
had to take a little less than the same
kind have been selling for of late. There
were only about thirty cars of cows and
heifers on sale and packers took hold and
bought up the desirable kinds at strong
prices. Sales were made that looked fully
a dime higher. There was a fair trade in
stockers and feeders, and there was not
much change noticeable in the prices paid.
Anything at all desirable was picked up
in good season, and even the common
kinds sold without much difficulty for as
much as the same kind sold for yester-
day. There were not very many western
range steers in the yards today good
enough for killers and those that were
offered sold at steady prices. Cows sold
strong where the quality was good.
Hogs-There was not an excessive up
ply Of hogs in sight, and as the demand
was fairly liberal the downward course II.
the price of hogs was checked. Packers
at this point started out and tried to buy
their hogs steady with YESTERDAY but SELL
ers were holding for better prices. so 1t
was a little late before the market open
ed. When trading did finally begin it was
generally at an advance of nearly PIC.
The bulk of the hogs sold at $6.121a and
$6.15, and as high as S.. 80 was paid.
ShnQn-Thnra uyorn nn1U a foW oars 0f

ing was offered to make a test of the
market for mutton grades. AS was noted
yesterday, however, fat sheep and lambs
are just about zoe higher than they were
at the close of last week. Feeder buyers
took hold in good shape today and bought
up what was offered at fully steady
prices. Everything was disposed of at an
early hour.

HEARING LAST UNTIL NOVEMBER p

tigation to Await Jackson and Harri-
son-Major Questions Truth of Testi-
momy Dissected During the Day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-When the
senate committee here resumed its
hearing Of the charges against Lieut..
Heistand, Major Hawkes., the prosecut-
ing witness, was called to submit some
evidence in rebuttal which he desired
to present. Mr.. Hawkes. said that
upon his return from the Philippines
he called upon the secretary Of war
and demanded to know the cause OF
his removal.
Judge Mackay, Hawkes. attorney, en-
tered on a line Of questioning intend
ed to draw the. secretary of wa into
the controversy, when stopped by
Senator Cockrell, who announced that
no such questions would be permitted,
as the secretary was not under investi-
cation.
w. S. Coursey, who was formerly
secretary to General Corbin, testified
that when the reply to Colonel Heis-
lands dispatch to General Otis was
received he could not connect it with
any message that had been sent.
Finally he went to the miscellaneous
division, which was in charge Of Col
onel Heistand, and the latter informed
him it was the reply to a private
message he had sent.
Major Hawkes., in correcting his
testimony, had added a statement that
Judge Boyd was not to subscribe for
hemp stock, but was to receive It for
the use Of his name. THIS called out
several questions as to the division
of stock and Hawkes. said it was un-
derstood that the names of the other
parties were not to appear on the stock
books. To avoid this it was agreed
between himself and Heistand that
$3.50, 900 Of stock was to be carried in
Hawkes. name.
Senator Cockrell asked why he had
not testified to this before, as it was
a very important matter. Mr.. Hawkes.
said he had never said anything to
any of the parties about the matter.
Under close questioning, Maj. Hawkes.
admitted he had said to Judge Boyd
that he was not to pay for the stock,
cor words to that effect" He was
asked what reply Judge Boyd made
and said he answered that it was all
right, cor words to that effect"
Replying to questions by Senator
Cockrell, Hawkes. said he had been on
very friendly terms with Judge Boyd
and would have spared him if possible.
He added that he was much disap-
pointed in the evidence given by the
several witnesses before the commit
tee. Senator Cockrell asked him how
he could be disappointed when he was
informed by all of them that they had
no connection with the hemp company.
Hawkes. replied that he expected they
would testify differently.
Don't you think they have sworn
the TRUTH" inquired Senator Cock
reI1.
Il do not" retorted Hawkes., holly.
