saler himself paid under threat from the Tetalrer that he would transfer his entire business to wholesaler who would give nm cut prices on sugars.
 When the trust cut away from the equality plan the other refiners were forced to quickly follow. and demoraliza- ton in the sugar distributing market i'm medlately caused. The wholesale grocers in New England immediately got to- gether, and by agreement among them selves not to sell sugars without profit ended the trouble in their territory, and the New York State wholesalers and other grOcers in the vicinity of New York City have also been fairly successful along the same lines. But otherwise the country, to quote prominent refner. is wide open"
 The wholesale grocers have had a num- Der of conferences with the Sugar Trust people in an endeavor to establish the equality basis but the trust will do noth- ing unless on condition that the whole salers agree to purchase all their supplies from the older refiners. Such a condition, the grocers agree, is entirely impracti- cable as the Arbuckles are so strongly intrenched in the sugar business that they could easily sell to the retail GUS toners of the wholesalers if the latter refused to take their sugars.
 The wholesale grocers, therefore. feel they are dependent upon their own CO., operation and loyalty one to the other. But they are constantly receiving quiet threats from what are considered trust

CONTEST IS BREWING

 ZINE AGAINST TRUST.
Inability to Secure Re-establishment of the Equality Basis on Lines De- sired Cohvinces Wholesalers
 Their Only Hopes Lies in
 Standing Together.

Evidence Is accommodating daily that one of the most severe contests In the history of the sugar distribution trade Is brewing. The American Sugar Refining Company cut loose from the old plan of selling sugars on the equality" basis meaning different prices for different sec tions of the country based on freight rates. and therefore, in fact equal. In addition the equality plan contained cer- tain discounts which are supposed to be paid if the wholesaler maintained prices quoted daily by the refiners. As matter of fact. the discounts were paid whether the prices were maintained or not, but the system had a good moral effect upon the retailer and prevented the latter in- sisting upon the same price as the whole
