ARBUCKLES PAY UP
SUGAR TRUSTS RIVALS REFUND sss5,5ss IN CUSTOMS DUTIES
 TO GOVERNMENT.
PROSECUTIONS WILL PROCEED
Authorities Will Not be Hampered by the Acceptance of the Money iH Their Attempt to Send Those Re. sponslble to Prison.

New York, Dec. 17.--Arbuckle Broth. CTS. generally credited with being the largest independent rival of the Ameri. can Sugar Refining company, have ac- knowledged that from 1898 to 1907 they. too. failed to pay the government all the money due as customs charges on imported sugar In settlement of all civil claims against them, the Arbuckles have offered and the treas. ury department, with the concurrence of the attorney general, has accepted payment of s695,573. But criminal prosecution of those responsible will in no wise be hampered by this ao ceptance.
 The government has now received the following voluntary resitutions and fines from importers of raw sugar :. The American Sugar Refining com pany (voluntary), s2,00o,000; the American Sugar Refining company tfine imposed by the court). s1S5.0O0; Arbuckle Brothers (voluntary), s695, 573. Total. $2.s30,573.
 The announcement of new irregu larities in the sugar industry ramifying into quarters never suspected by the public, was made in recess of the criminal trial of six employees of the American Sugar Refining company.
 MT Simson and MT. Dennison, spe- cial counsel for the government, then gave out statement in part as fol laws:
 Last June we commenced an in. vestigation as to the weights on which duties were paid on sugar landed on the docks of the sugar refinery of Arbuckle Brothers in the port of New York The members of that firm voluntarily gave us access to their books and a thorough investigation was made of those books and of the customs house recoras. As a result shortage was reported to the mem. bers of the firm. and as soon as they had verified the governments figures they voluntarily offered to pay this sum, without suit, into the treasury oi the United States government"
 The statement purposely omits any reference to the methods by which the frauds disclosed were effected.
 "The matter Is now pending before the grand jury" was the only reply MT. Stimson would make to all inquiries.

GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, November 12.-Uncertainty
regarding the Argentine crop was still a
factor in the wheat market here today,
there being renewed buying as a result
of yesterdays report confirming previous
claims of damage by locusts. Sentiment,
however. was much less bullish, owing to
drop in temperature in the northwest,
which It was thought might increase the
movement in that section. Wet weather
in the winter wheat belt also had a de-
pressing effect.
Prices at the opening were unchanged
to q higher. with December at 1.O5M to
LOSS. Later December advanced to LOSS
owing to light offerings.
Weather and brisk demand for the cash
grain prompted considerable buying OF
corn during early trading, resulting In
moderate frmness. The December de-
livery opened unchanged to u higher. at
59l4 to 59as. and sold up to 50ha594.
Trading In oats was dull and the mar
ket was inclined to sag. owing to increas-
Ing stocks and q slow demand for the
cash grain. The December option opened
unchanged to a shade higher. at 30A to
39l4 a39as, and for a time held within that
range.
Provisions advanced sharply at the
start because of active general demand
based on the continuation OF light re-
/
Demand for January pork was especially
urgent and the price of that product ad-
vanced 30 cents from the closing figures
OF the previous day. Prices at the open
ing were 211 to IN higher.
Demand for the December wheat deliv-
cry by shorts was urgent all day because
OF the decided strength of cash wheat in
the northwest and southwest. The situa-
ton in the pit became extremely bullish
late in the session, when December ad-
