FINANCIAL GOSSIP

New York to Charles E. Lewis: The state
1nent has been published that the profits Of tile
American Sugar Refining for this year have been
the largest Of any year In the history Of the
company. This is emphatically denied by au-
thorities in the trade. 1t is figured that aver
age difference between refined and sugar In
1902 was Ole per 100 pounds, while in 1901 the
average difference was 81 per 100 pounds a
difference of &c in favor OF last year and in the
aggregate this should show a considerable re-
duction in the profits of the company in 1902
as compared with the previous twelve months.
La Sale Street Gossip TO Watson s Cos: A
month ago the Deutsche Bank Of Berlin bought
$50, 600, 600 of the new Rock Island bonds from
the lMoores. a few days ago the sellers weta
informed that the wild fluctuations In Rock
Island common and preferred We're disliked
abroad and that a continuance of these sductun-
tons would lessen the value OF the bonds
considerably. 1t is understood the Moores have
now determined to put the preferred to- 80 and
the common to so. and 10 hold prices compare
lively stable at these figures. It is also learned
that the new bonds are selling well abroad, In
London, Paris and Berlin. se 81 sEI 81 i 3Ss

Much old business has been cleaned up and
more flour is being delivered this week on orders
Of long standing. Millers will probably start the
wear Without much the books. But -four
stocks are low which should mean good demand:
and next week the larger buyers who have held
off persistently for several weeks will probably
show more disposition to again place orders for
fair sized quantities. The outlook. therefore, Is
