The Price of Sugar.

Speaking of sugar the other day. this
paper was mlsled by wrong quotation
into saying that the price OF raw was 3 Ia
cents when as a matter of fact it was
about cent higher. That makes a sensi-
Bile difference in the margin between the
cost Of The raw and cost o. the refined
article, and to that extent impars any
deductions drawn from the lower figure.
Attention had been called to the matter
by articles in several papers printed in
the large cities complaining of what
seemed to be unreasonably high prices
for the refined produc, compared with the
cost of the raw material complaint
that showed symptoms OF becoming
general. Since then. however, an i'm
porlant change has taken place in the
situation. The feature OF the New York
sugar market Wednesday was reduction
in selling price of refined sugar of twenty
points, to the basis OF 5.75 cents less one
per cent for granulated 10 bags or barrels.
AT the same time The quotation for stan
dard raw sugar, or as II is called 10 the
trade centrifugal 90 degrees test, was
Ia cents duty paid.
The reduction, it was noted. lowered
the difference between the market values
OF the standard grades of raw and refined
sugar u 40 points, point being
hundredth Of cent; but the New York
Journal OF Commerce remarked in its
market report that, 'despile The cut in
refined sugar prices, they are still con-
sdered high compared with the COS, of
raw sugar some OF the trade arguing that
refners have only Gu, off hall the dogs

sufficiently low basis to induce increased
activity on the part of buyers AS
regards the recent decline, it is considered
as largely influenced by speculative hold
ings of beets in Europe. The grand total
of the cane and beet sugar crop of the
world is estimated by Wlletl & Gray at
o,493,o76 tons, which is decrease Of
826,857 tons from last year. Aud the
worlds annual consumption is 10, ooo, GOO
tons. 10 view OF these figures, if th4
estimate is correct there is not much

Two months, they have been faithful IN

they play with the style and finish of a
veteran organization.
Al the close of the concert several
hours were devoted to dancing.

1t is noted as one of the most interest
ing developments of the international
railway congress, now holding in Wash
ington, that the conceusus of opinion
among the delegates is favorable to the
adoption of electricity, as motive
power for suburban business on steam
road lines. In connection with the con-
sideration of electricity, one result of re-
cent experiments with the New York
CentraPs electric locomotive at Science
tady recently WAS announced. In con-
test between the electric engine and one
of the big Pacific type steam engines,
each hauling six-car train from q
standing point, the electric engine reach
ed speed of fifty miles an hour in one
hundred and twenty-seven seconds, while
1t required two hundred and three Sec
onds for the steam locomotive to attain
that speed. An idea of the value of this
quick accession OF speed may be gained
by the fact that at fifty miles an hour
the seventy-six seconds in favor of the
electric locomotive would give it more
than full mile advantage over the
steam locomotive. In other words, by
the time the big Pacific had attained fifty
miles an hour the electric would be a
mile ahead of it.

parent to any one who looks upon the
with unpreindiced eyes. And
1t is not illogical to suppose that the re-
form has been brought about by the fact
that the sale of liquor has been about
stopped. That it is still sold
by pocket peddlers and perhaps slyly by
some of the erstwhie dealers is apparent
to the authorities, but when it has been
confined to those circumscribed limits it
is fair to assume that enforcement is
fairly thorough. In the language of the
day, the lid is on.

Enforcement in Kennebec.

On being asked whether or not the
officers were ,ffectively enforcing the
liquor law in kennebec Court, Judge
Hall Of the Superior Court, Augusta.
said:
III have no reason to doubt that the
officers are on the alert to detect vio-
lators of the law in this county. That
liquor selling has been stopped cannot
be asserted, but that it has been driven
TO cover pretty efiectually there can be
no doubt. The violators of the law in
this county we'll understand that pretty
stiff penalties are and will continue TO be
imposed, heavy fines or jail sentences sc-
cordlng TO the facts shown.
1.-THE many jail sentences imposed by
this court during the last year have un-
questionably lessened the traffic as
shown by the fewer arrests for drunken
ness in the county. 1t requires great
vigilance on the part of Ulcers to pro.
cure evidence of actual sales of liquor,
and it is here that more activity is need
ed If anywhere.
"There is good reason to believe that
much drunkenness Is caused by a lack
of care in sales at the agencies. The
municipal officers are largely RESPONSE
BILE for this. They are given the power
by statute to prescribe regulations to
govern the agents in making sales, and
the statute also regulates their duties
and liabilities. 1t ought to be easy to
detect Violstors Of these regulations.
"On the whole the law appears to be
fairly we'll enforced in this county, yet
1t is evident that the limit of vigilance
has by no means been reached"

The Horse Still In Favor

Brooklyn has some 25oo automobiles

Of pleasure are concerned. Far from

Municipal Court Matters.

Audidy Clukey was given hearing,
Friday, before Judge Bachelor in the
municipal court on the charge Of killing
a coy moose on the Big Churchill Ia the
Long Pond township, April 10 last.
Clukey was represented by A. h. Butler
and after the story Of the affair had been
brought out in the evidence he moved
that his client be discharged Oh the
grounds that the warrant WAS defective
in that ii contained two distinct charges
instead of but one; that there was no
evidence that the men had intended TO
kill the moose when they started after
her but were simply seeing what they
could do with novel situation. This
argument appeared sound in the eyes OF
Judge Bachelor and he granted the re.
quest.
