TRAVELLED in THE LUCKY WAY.
Bracelet and Money Found by Addison
Schofield.

Luck seemed to be following in or
rather preceding the footsteps of Addi-
son Scholfeld of Lafayette street Sat
urday night. Mr.. Scheduled, who is a
well known resident of the Falls, was
walking to the city with a friend about
7.30, and as he was passing the Broad
way theater his eye caught a sparkle,
and, stopping, he picked up a hand
some gold bracelet of considerable val
ue. But Mr.. Scheduled still had some
thing coming to him. AS he was on
his way home, at tha top Of Broadway
hill he discovered a black pocketbook
of good size, with its sides bullying
out. Before Mr.. Scholfield could ex-
anime the contents a well dressed
woman, who had been walking up the
street a short distance ahead of him,
turned, after feeling nervously in her
pockets. and asked him If he had seen
anything of a pocketbook, saying that
she had just lost one containing S75.
AS her description tailed with the
purse he had picked Sup, Mr.. Scholfield
at once surrendered It. She was over
joyed to recover her lost possessions,
but was doubtless so overwhelmed that
she omitted to say thank you. How
ever, Mr.. Scheduled Still has the brace

YORK THE WORLDS LEADING SUGAR CENTRE

The worlds production OF sugar last year was
Slightly less than it was the year before The
beet crop Of Europe was about 10000 tons
smaller. but Of itself this decrease had little
commercial effect The disturbing element in
the market last year was the fact that the
Cuban crop was less by 100000 tons than it was
in 1897. This due to a very dry season
Porto Rico also fen of slightly. and the West
Indian and South American crops were consid-
erably less all around This year it is different

Sugar growing in the United states is uucer-

tries, so far it applies 10 cane sugar The
main factor In the uncertainty is the wide range

proitabe in the history OF the sugar business
While the total yield has been exceeded and the
best prices were not realized, the production
was great enough in combination with the ex-
ceent prices that did prevail. to make the net
returns from the crop a trife greater than ever
before in history. Everything points to even
greater returns this season reckoned on produc-
ton and price levels
The collecting OF information concerning the
crop and its prospects has become pretty well
systematzed. and reliable data are sought by a
corps OF experts all over the world 1t is now
possible TO forecast the yield with the same de
gree of certainty that obtains in grain or cotton
and other important crops or course some err
rors creep in occasionally. but as a general
proposition the forecasters have quite as reliable
basis upon which 10 found their estimates Of
the crop as have the millcrs and dealers in
grain
The total production OF beet sugar in the world
exceeds that OF cane by about 100000 tons n
year in yield Of over 100000 tons Thus in
1908 the beet sugar yield was roughly nearly
G.9OpO tons. while the yield Of cans sugar was
over 51-Oopo tons
The restrictive regulations promulgated by the
Brussels convention have been urged upon grow
ers affiliated with the conference but the notice
given late last year that a reduction OF
only about GO0eD tons was effected The total
production 81 beet sugar was absorbed Ia the
markets without disturbing the usual course OF
trade This year the total viii probably be
about 6.ISoopo tons. which would represent a
reduction in the yield OF beet sugar In the coun-
tries affiliated with the Brussels conference OF
more than 100000 tons from the high mark set
in 1866
The process by which cane sugar is made is
