SUGAR MARKET
CONDITIONS

Williams, Dimond & Co, under date
OF May 26, thus review the sugar mar
ket conditions:
Willett & Gray report May 18th L. S.

timated May 18th 100000 tons against

even dates, 3O42, 2lS tons against $685.
1854 tons; increase over last year 1,0O6,-

The progress Of events in the Raw
Sugar Market throughout the period
now under review, reflects in a degree
the conditions previously prevailing
as outlined in our report of April 22nd
1907 At first an Improvement in prices
was manifest while the strength and
firmness observable in the market au-
gered well for the future. Buyers
views having undergone a change how
ever, due doubtless in part to the dis
appointing demand for refined, less
favorable conditions succeeded and
easier prices prevailed consequent upon
the dissemination of refners to accu-
mulate stocks. Recently offerings be-
coming lighter, a slight upward move
ment was observable, but latest mail
reports from New York under date Of
the END inst. indicate practically I'M
changed conditions, which appear to be
borne out by telegraphic advices since
received.
In Europe where prices have been
fairly well maintained with slight fuc-
tuations, although weakening at the
close, interest is centered in the est-
mate of Mr.. LIGHT and others of the
probable decrease in beet sowings. The
belief is now prevalent that the reduc-
ton will range from ten to eleven per
cent smaller figures having first been
published by Mr. LIGHT, as compared
with last year for all Europe. The
above estimates are not sufficient how
ever to hold out much hope of any per-
manent Improvement later on i'm the
values of beet sugars Reports indicate
that while the Brussels Convention bin
has met with opposition in certain
quarters, particularly in the Berlin
Parliament, the probabilities are that
its recommendations will eventually be
generally ratified by the respective
governments.
Under the stimulus of a decline in
prices greater activity was aroused in
the Refined Sugar Market for a limited
period, but latterly conditions have
been most disappointing to the trade,
particularly at this season of the year,
when consumption usually proceeds
vigorously, 1t is thought that the de-
cline on the 18th was agreed upon by
refners in order to check importations
of foreign refined.
The Cuban Reciprocity bill is still
under consideration in the Senate, and
at this writing the prospects OF the
passage Of the measure are apparently

SENATE CANAL COMMITTEE Is
ADVERSE.
Report Opposes Leaving Everything to
With Columbia-Delay it's Purpose.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Morgan, from the Committee on 18TH
milan Canals, today submitted to the
Senate the adverse report of that COM
mittce on Senator Hoar's bill placing
the selection of a route for an isthmian
canal in the hands of the President. The
committee opposed the bill on the
ground that it makes no provision for
further exploration of routes and leaves
the President to make a selection on the
statement of facts already asCertained.
1t is contended that however safely
the country may rely on the wisdom and
just discretion Of the Executive. the
policy is not wise nor safe as a rule of
government"
The report discusses at length the
protocols with Columbia and Nicaragua
and Costa Rica and it states incidental
ly that former Colombian Minister Silva
was invited to appear before the COM
mittee, but declined to do so. OF the
agreements with Costa Rica and Mic
aragua it is said that they are definite
and complete as to the character and
scope of the rights they have agreed to
concede to the United States" and it is
argued that if they are ratified nothing
will be left to do but to carry the agree
ment into effect
Colombia, on the other hand is
charged with playing for delay, and it
is stated that Ito hold Colombia to her
present offer 1t is necessary, under ar
ticle p, that Publications shall be ex-
changed within eight months of its date
and the practical impossibility of con-
Guiding all the necessary arrangements
provided for in her proposition within
eight months shows that her most
earnest purpose is to cause delay"
1t is charged that Colombia does not
by her protocol propose to sell us the
Panama canal and railroad property
free of all existing claims, concessions
and membranes, but leaves us to
work out title with the Panama Com
pany.
The report adds: Colombia is anx-
ious to get rid of the Panama Canal
Company without giving offense to
France, so that she can seize and pos
sess all the plant Of the canal company
all the lands and house it owns in
Panama, including the great hospital,
the machine shops and wharves at
Colon; all the vast machinery in use by
the Panama Canal Company, the hos
pitfalls and other houses, the palace built
for De Lesseps and his sons, and be-
come the owner of it all. along with the
Panama Railroad Company, which re-
verts to her in 1866.
IF this convention should be adopted,
not only would delay attend the prog
ress of the canal but the United States
would assume obligations to the world
that it would be impossible to keep and
relations with Colombia that will re-
prive the canal of all value to the
United States, and will make it a cause
o Irritation that must involve the most
serious consequences"
WASHINGTON, May 26-Representa-
tive Hay of Virginia, chairman of the
Democratic caucus, TODAY issued a call
| for caucus Wednesday evening next
| to consider plans for the passage of a
! Nicaragua canal bill at this session OF
! Congress" such being the language OF
! the petition on which Hay issued the
call.
