New York, April 5.-By agreement or
contract, which has just been formally
ratified, all refineries thruout the coun-
try will sell sugars on uniform terms
This does not mean they will name uni
form prices. but that whatever price,
the terms shall remain unchanged. In
the future therefore, the price of 5 cent
granulated sugar will mean the same
whether quoted by the American COM
pany, the National company or Ar
buckles, and it will not be complicated
by any special or extra discounts. Dur
ing the last year or 40 lnere has been
considerable irregularity SO far as dis
counts have been concerned, and re-
finers have charged their rivals with
making secret discounts while appar-
emily maintaining the list of prices.
New terms will go into operation on all
sugar sold on and after April 15.

The ports of the islands are free, and
hence goods landed there are not sub

1t is pointed out that after the ratifi-
cation of the treaty and before con-
gress takes action to prevent it., all
goods shipped from the islands to this
country or Porto Rico must be adj

congressional action, it must be adj
mitted free of duty.

ture and rubber stamping. This Nltch-

was genuine. IT. was on a Boone Coun-
