SUGAR TRUST FAILS.
Attempt TO Corner Market In Mexico
Proves Unsuccessful.

Mexico City, Feb. 22.-The sugar
trust organized here year ago and
comprising In its membership the
largest planters in the various states,
has failed to corner the sugar product
successfully and finds itself with Tia.
bilities Of s7.200,000 and with assets
taken on liberal estimate of ST.
700. 900. These assets include the
stock Of sugar on hand. The supply of
sugar in this country Is already far
in excess of the demand, and the new
crop is coming to the market. These
facts give rise to the fear that the
assets are not what might be hoped.
1t has been feared that the trust
would smash but three very wealthy
members of the combine have come
forward as personal guarantors Of the
liabilities so it has turned out that
the courts viii now be called on to
wind up the trust, which owes banks
nearly $4,000, 900 One Of the causes
of the failure of this concern TO con-
