SUGAR

WiIlcu a trays sugar Journal tot
March reports as follows on the suga'
market
RAwS-Tho Improvement noted In
the cane sugar market for the paft
two weeks continued during the week
under review. reducing the difference
between centrifugals and beet sugar to
~ cts. per 100 los. against 40 cts. last
week. Notwithstanding that beet sugar
advanced from IS. llhd. to 9s. 09id.
for March delivery, with May quoted 1T
as 2Ld.
Spot centrifugals are now 3.5lc. per
h.. duty paid, against 3i2c. last week.
rhe equivalent of 3.55c per No. landed
was paid for Cuba Ccntrilugals for late
March shipment
The advance has been so rapid for
| two weeks and such large quantities
/ have been placed that a more quiet
! condition may intervene before further
! improvement sets In, particularly as
refined sugar shows less eager de-
mand at the close.

REFINED. -Special-We wish t
speak particularly and somewhat au
rhoritatively regarding the present am
future of the refined sugar market
About this time last year we made
similar statement. the points of whici
were fully confirmed throughout TIL
campaign.
This season during the recent nd
vance In raw sugars there has been N
advance made In refined, and as a re
suit phenomenal business has bee
booked by refiners looking to the prob
able fact that grocers throughout tn
country are taking in stock In exces
of immediate requirements. Refiner
sales are thus exceeding their dali
production and the only result thu
lar of this large business in refined |
connection with the advance in raw
Is to bring the raw and refined to
sufficiently close difference in value
absolutely guarantee buyers of refine

against any possible decline on the
sugars they take into their warehouses.
Domestic refined prices are on parity
with today's cable quotations for for
cign refined so that buyers here are
not confronted with lower cost sugars
from abroad. German and Austrian
Isl marks are 4,37c. per Id. net cash
delivered in New York; German and
Austrian Superiors grocery grades)
are i.5ic.; Dutch granulated lcane),
i.56c.; American graduated is 45jc.
per ID. net, against above costs of for
eign.
While no immediate advance Is like
" to be made In refined 1t Is evident
from the above that the buyers who
avail OF the present quotations to add
to their stocks to the largest extent are
the ones who will reap the most benent
when the advance comes, while those
who delay buying until the last mo-
ment may he left out In the cold.
Having said there Will be no I'M
mediate advance We can add that the
market will show extreme strength
right along and In due time be followed
| by several advances as was the case
| during the last season.
Reliners influence on the raw sugar
market will be AS far as il counts
along the same lines. A good, strong

without the violent upward movement
which last year carried prices of cen
! ,rifugals above &c. per ID. only to fal

FiSherman'S Luck.

"Perhaps my most amusing fishing
experience in Italy was during week
in Naples,' says the author Of The
Salt of My Life" and gives the story
in these words:
Toward sunset one afternoon I
was strolling toward my hotel along
the parade, when I came across a
ragged sportsman angling with very
long bamboo from the pavement. He
looked a merry sight, and I seated
myself on the parapet beside him.
We were soon deep in as comfortable
a conversation as is attainable be-
tween broken Tuscan and pure Nea-
politan. We discussed rods, and
asked him to let me feel the weight
of his, which must have been thirty
feet long. With native courtesy he
handed it to me as if it were mine,
and no sooner was it in my hands
tsan down went the top, and I was in
a good fish, which circled in vain on
the unyielding line, and I soon raised
black sea-bream of probably three
pounds.
of certainty none of his other
fish weighed more than as many
ounces. He was too amazed to do
more than stammer his thanks, and
as I turned away I fancy that he
crossed himself, regarding the black
Dream as the fruit of black magic"

Berry Auain Under Arrest.

G. R. Berry, former school superin-
tendent of Marion county, who was
arrested in October, 1905, charged with
forgery, but who afterwards forfeited
his bond of S2,40O is again under ar
rest
1t was alleged that Berry forged
the names of school trustees to teach
ers' pay certificates and appropriated
the money to his own use! He was
also charged with having defrauded
several book companies. Berry left
Marion and went to Tampa, Fla,
where he lived under the name o. R.
H. Mcintyre.
He was finally arrested and brought
back to Marion giving bond in the
sum of s2,400. Berry then left again
for Tampa, and was not heard Of
again until he was placed in the Ma
rion jail few days ago, having been
brought back by Florida officer. The
prominence of Berry and his capacity
for evading arrest has caused his
case to become conspicuous.

To Advance Sea Island Prices.

The Sea Island or long staple, cot
ton farmers have decided to take an
additional step in the control Of the
market and the advancement OF
prices. The farmers are all to be as
sessed 81 a bale on the new crop,
netting a sum of $4,000 to $4,000,
with which warehouses are to be
erected for the storage of the staple
for better prices. The idea OF ad,
vancing the poor farmers money on
their crop, holding the cotton, is also
suggested in the general scheme OF
keeping the cotton off the market un'
til satisfactory prices are offered. The
promoters. of the warehouse scheme
say that they have tired Of the con-
troll of the buyers and the warehouse
project offers the only plan of inde'
pendence of which they propose to
avail themselves.
Some time ago the long staple plan
ters made plans for the erection Of a
cotton oil mill to be run by the as
sociation in furthering the scheme OF
control of the seed, and now comes
the plan of the warehouse for the
better and more convenient holding OF
the staple for higher prices.
