the Spreckels family is based on what
IS understood to have been the ex-
p@rencc IN other similar situations,
when the refneries have given a Sc
crete rebate to one single iobber, and
thus forced the others to sell at cost.
In view Of the threatened disruption
OF the local market, arising from the
personal difficulties is the Spreckels
family, some Of the local iobbers will
send out notices to their local retail
trade tomorrow, offering to protect
them from any loss in case of fall in
price during the next thirty days This
Will be done to prevent retailers from
/ ordering in driblets, and thus increas-
ING the costs of the jobbers.
At the same time there is a sus-
picion in the market that this threat
ened shipment, which would not arrive
here until the last Of July, is only a
| bluff on the part Of Claus A. SpreckeIs
to worry his brother, John D. Spreck-
els. and disorganize his market. In
this connection it is pointed out that
the recently reported purchase by Claus
\. Spreckels Of a site for a sugar re
tinery here, has not resulted in one
being built.
The understanding on the street is
that Claus \. Spreckels has no interest
in the Western Sugar Refinery, which
is controlled exclusively by John d.
Spreckels and Adolph Spreckels

PECULIAR SUGAR SHIPMENT

in Western Region.

News briefly cabIed here of the ship
ment of cargo Of refined sugar from
New York to San Francisco. is follow
ed by mail advices indicating a pecu-
liar commercial warfare. According to
some Of the san Francisco dealers the
/ shipment, which amounts to 5000 tons.
Is due to a Spreckels famiI quarrel. and
Is an effort Of Claus \. SpreckeIs. who
IS making the shipment. 10 iniure John
D, and AdoIph Spreckels, owners of
| The Western Sugar Refinery. The ship
ment IS the first of the kind made in
twenty years. The price of sugar is
| higher IN the West than in New YORK,
/ but there are those who predict that
when the New York cargo arrives at
san Francisco there viii be a drop in
price which viii make the experiment
costly one.

I (Gus) Spreckels OF the Federal Rein
ing Company. but said:
- From a commercial standpoint
consider TINS shipment irregular and
! am therefore obliged to believe It to
be the result of Mr.. Gus SpreckeIs per
soual differences with his brother, Mr..
John d. Npreckels. 1T appears to me,
if this be the case. that Mr.. Gus
SpreckeIs is inhieting a greater pun,
;shment upon the jobber and distrlb-
utter here than upon the sugar refinery,
as. in previous contests of this kind,
the result has shown that the loss falls
principally upon the jobber.
The publication Of this alleged snip
meut of sugar has naturally had
tendency to brighten the retailer from
buving in more than in hand to hand
purchases, thus vastly increasing the
cost Of deliveries and disturbing condl-
tons unnecessarily fully three months
in advance OF the alleged shipment.
''Gus SpreckeIs is thoroughly ia
mjIiar with the large surplus Of sugar

actual consumption here. He must
therefore know that this 100000 bags

amount. Consequently. with his su,

credit to Gus Spreckels business judg-
menr, I can not possibly regard this

ture. This leaves open to me no other

than that of retaliation. It seems to
me that personal difficulties between
individuals might be settled in some

What the Figures Show.

The statement that Claus y Spreck-
els has not undertaken this shipment
around the Horn from a commercial
motive or for profit is based on the
following figures: The refinery price
OF sugar here is $500, while the New
. ork refinery price is 500, but 10
this latter figure must be added the
cost OF freight, marine insurance,
brokerage and interest, making the
cost. laid down here. 500. or. allow
ing for the profit OF refining, the figure
based on first cost would be 4j.J5.
While this would indicate net profit
Of 10 cents, it is understood that tine
sugar now in the hands Of the job
bers here was bought from the rein
cries. under advance notice of a raise,
, at SJ.4J.
1t is also claimed that a shipment
coming around the Horn would arrive
in a damaged condition. On this point
William Haas says:
formulated sugar. when coming by
water routes, usually, and in fact in
yariahIv. comes out of the vessel in a
damaged. caked and Iumpy condition,
making it practically understandable
for this market. The result will be
that it will have to be reprocessed
before it can enter into competition
with the local product, which IS Of a
standard and uniform quality"
These are the figures from which the
! irate iobbers concluded that the dis
/ ,urbauce i'm the local market is due
to motives peculiar to the Spreckcl>
