Out 100000 Pounds This
Season Longest Run Yet.
Some 10000 Tons Of Beets We're
Used for Which Farmers We're
Paid $175,000.

Big figures appear all through the sum-
mary of the seasons run at the Mime
sofa Sugar company's plant.
The factory at st. Louis Park has just
closed down after the longest and most
productive run in its history Under ia
vorable conditions the plant will run full
five months, or $50 days, next season. This
season it ran 120 days.
The total output of sugar this season is
100000 pounds, or 5000 tons, which was
turned out at the rate of rs tons a day.
The output last season was 1000, 900
pounds. A good market has already been
found for the factory's entire product in
the twin cities and their jobbing territory
ness some 10000 tons of beets were re-
quired this season. They came chiefly
from points along the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
and the Great Northern lines, within a
radius of sixty miles from the factory. No
large new beet districts were opened up,
but beet culture has paid the farmers al

MERGER WINS
Injunction in the Case of the
Sleeping Car Companies
Denied.

Chicago, Jan. 6.--Judge Tuley in the
circuit court to-day declined TO issue an
injunction against the Pullman Palace
Car company asked for by Truman A.
Taylor. who sought to have that company
restrained from purchasing the stock OF
the Wagner Sleeping Car company.
Mr.. Taylor's attempt to defeat the mer-
ger took the form of a petition seeking to
enjoin the Pullman Palace Car company
from giving to stockholders OF the Wag-
ner company 100000 shares in the con
solidated concern, these being valued at
$4,000 900. His action was taken follow
ing the meeting of Dec. 5, 1899, When the
Pullman company agreed to purchase the
Wagner company's entire equipment anu
business, to change the name Of the eX-
banded corporation to the Pullman COM
pany and to increase the stock from SOD,
OOO, 900 to $74,00O,000.
So many arguments were advanced Dy
the petitioner that Judge Tuley felt the
need of much time to properly consider
the matter, and has devoted all possible
attention to it during the past two
years. His decision in almost every point
is against Mr. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor alleged
that the Pullman people had no right I'M
der the laws of the nation and the state
to buy the Wagner company. He said the
+ company was endeavoring to create a
trust and monopoly in the sleeping parlor
car business of the country and prepar-
ing to limit and reduce the operation and
number of cars and regular prices. He al
legged that the Wagner company had not
the right to dispose of it's property under
the laws of New York, as 1t would thus
disable itself from performing the duties
for which it was organized. In regard to
the "anti-trust'' arguments made in the
petition, Judge Tuley held that the tran
saction by which the two companies be-
came one was practically analogous to the
ordinary business transaction of one may
buying out the business of another.
