BEET SUGAR RUMoRs
SUGAR TRUST ENcRoAcHmeNrs
Havemsyer Said to Control Fourteen
eeet.suoar Plants-No Change In
the Present Management for Five
YearS.

ne Pfeseht management VoF FSo
Years.
New York. Sept. GIL. o. Have
meyer and his friends are said to have
acquired controlling interest In no
less than fourteen plants engaged In
the manufacture OF beet sugar. These
plants have a capacity OF 5000 tons of
beets day, as compared with to-
tal consumption OF 2J.OOO tons Of bects
a day In the entire country.
This presents evidence OF the strong
foothold, so far as the manufacture Of
beet sugar In concerned. that has been
obtained by interests friendly to the
American Sugar Refining Company.
Eventually II IL the Intention TO com
bine all these plants Into u single
company. but there Is no Immediate
prospect OF this. as these plants were
acquired with the understanding there
should be no change In their present
management for period OF five years.
The probability Is that Mr.. Have.
meyers first idea In entering the beet
sugar field was to bc In position to
light the beet sugar people from their
own stronghold. but II Is believed now
that these plants viii bc operated so
ms to relieve the American Sugar Re-
lining Company OF certain territory
where the margin Of profit between
the cost and selling prices Is extremely
small.
Another reason for IIavemcycr inter.
csts bccomin. idcntincd with III. beet
sugar industry Is the fear OF compcu.
tion In refined sugars. The American
Sugar Refining Company depends
upon Europe for large part Of Its
supply OF raw sugar. and there Il more
and more OF n tendency on the part
OF producers on the other side to r-iinc
this sugar for export. There nrc 1900
companies producing nav sugar In Eu.
rope and last year mor- than sixty
concerns Installed refining machinery.
This year $50 companies have made q
