PRACTICAL SUGAR CORNER
Four Louisiana Men Control
100000 Tons of 1911 Crop.

New Orleans. Sept. 20.-Louisiana has
control Of the sugar market, in the opin-
ion of sugar interests here, because of
the shortage Of the 1911 worlds sugar
crop. Four prominent commission deal
ers and planters Of Louisiana are now in
New York, and are said TO be in a posi-
tion TO dictate TO the so-called Sugar
Trust as to the price Of this years crop
in this state.
The 1911 crop Of Louisiana sugar is
estimated at $4,000 tons, about $1,000
tons more than the crop of last year
and If disposed of al the present market
level would represent a gain Of S115oo,-
600 as compared with last years prices.
The four men in New York are said to
control the sale of about 100000 tons.

Accounts so far received are somewhat

Is that the Hawke at first expected 70

An eyewitness declares his belief that
the Hawke was drawn in on the liner by

come two hundred miles 10 see the ma

the great tent where the principal speech
Of the day was delivered, there was a
continuous manifestation OF enthusiasm.
with genuine emotion Mr. Taft thanked
the people Of Marquette for the cordial
itv Of their welcome, at the luncheon
which closed the exercises Of the day.
The President devoted his chief speech
10 an explanation OF and plea for the
pending arbitration treaties and also
for those with Nicaragua and Honduras.
1t was lucid explanation of these con-
yentions. which have been so often de-
scribed in The Tribune, and simple,
earnest plea for their support-a plea
which obviously went straight to the
minds and hearts Of the great audience
which listened attentivey and applauded
