SUGAR is GOING TO ADVANCE.
Commission Merchants Say Il 10
Cheaper in Colorado Than
EIsewhere.

Denver.-At present Colorado is get
ting its sugar cheaper than any other
section of the country. The advance
OF 10 cents a hundred in cane sugar,
which became effective in the eastern
n arket a few days ago, mas not
reached Colorado. but the market here
is strong. with indications sor an ad-
vance of like character Missouri river
points are already paying the in
creased price. Granulated sugar was
quoted here yesterday at $50 TO the
1obber and $500 to the retailer. On
the basis of present prices at Missouri
river points. freight added, the price
here would be $5.37 instead of $50.
so that Colorado consumers are, at
least for time. getting the benefit of
lower prices than points more favored
by freight rates.
Denver brokers state that the east
ern advance is due to the fact that the
Cuban crop has been disposed of. An
advance usually comes about the 1st
of April. when the market is relieved
o. the Cuban product This years
crop was little short of normal, be-
cause of political unrest in the island.
Further advances may be looked for
throughout the spriag and summer, SUI
gar reaching its high point for the
year usually when the canning season
begins and the producer needs it
worst
Brokers maintain that the law OF
supply and demand alone governs the
fluctuations of the market, that the
trust simply let's nature take her
course, and that nature is always very
accommodating the trust.

ment addressed to Governor Magoon.
says, in part:
Il make the following recommenda-
tions in consequence of the circum-
stances making Intervention neces-
sary:
81. The position of President Roose-
welt is exactly what is was when the
first proclamation was issued, to-wit.
that Cuba must be turned over to a
Cuban government, fairly elected, as
soon as the conditions permit. and that
the stability of the government estab-
lished be assured.
"2. do not think four months a suf-
ficient time for the taking OF a cen
sus necessary for an election. All that
can be done is to declare that the cen
sus be taken in as short a time as pos
sible, and an announcement that the
preliminary election shall be held
within such period thereafter as may
afford reasonable time for complying
with requirements of the new electoral
law.
"3. The municipal and provincial
elections should be held at the same
time
a. The national election should be
held six months after the prelimi.
nary election.
IS. There should be an interval OF
100 days between the congressional
and presidential elections and the in.
auguration of the new president.
&c. The carrying out of this plan, OF
course. is strictly dependent on the
tranquility Of tho country"

FARMING TRUST REVOLT.
Northern Moldava Is Scene of Many
Bloody Riots.


Vienna, Austfia-Tbe seriousness
of the situation in northern Moldavia
growing out Of the agraian disorders
has not, according to the latest tele-
graphic reports reaching here from
Czernowitz, on the border, been ex-
aggerated.
1t is estimated that 400 farms in
Moldavia have been devastated, SOU
fugitives have fed over the Rouman-
ian frontier into Austria, and a total
of 10000 Jews are homeless.
The number of dead and wounded
cannot be given accurately, but the
reports of today give total of about
IS men killed and about $50 wounded
The outbreak seems today to have
been partially suppressed. The Rou
manian government is still sending
troops into the affected district. Prac
tically the entire province of Media
via has been involved.
The movement is more really agra
arian than anti-Semitic. The peasants
are in revolt against the great farm
ing trust. which has leased half the
cultivatable lands in Moldavia. The
absentee landlords, who control the
trust, are Jews, and this fact brings
the ire of the peasants down upoT
any and all Jews they meet, and tt
this antipathy is added strong raca
feenng arising from other causes.
