NOT SOLD AS BEET SUGAR
Still, Cane Sugar Prices Ruled,
Chester S. MoreY Explains.

The price OF beet sugar was. not figured
on the cost Of its production. but vas. as
rule, dictated by the price Of cane sugar
as fixed by the American Sugar Refining
Company, was the testimony YESTERDAY Of
Chester :. MOrey. president Of the Great
Western Sugar Company. at the h'arihs
IN the gov, rnment's dissolution suit asairst
the alleged sugar trust
James r. Knapp, Assistant United States
Attorney, introduced In evidence letter
written ly the witness TO II. O. Havem"yer
in 1904 in which Mr. Morey said that all
Of the beet sugar shipped to the Eastern
market that year had been marked Extra
Fine Dry Granulated Sugar" without any
indication that it was beet sugar. because
1t had been discovered that 20 label II aS
beet sugar was mistake.
As TO the regulation OF prices OF bee;
sugar Mr.. Morey said the quotations were
made from cane sugar prices. They were
always compelled to sell beet sugar cheaocr
than cane sugar. he said. but at times their
sugar was sold within cents on the lVD
pounds Of cane sugar. AT times the dlrrr-
ence was 40 cents, he added, and in 1874,
when the beet crop was large, II came
close to 20 cents.
Then the price OF your sugar was In no
way tascd on the cost Of Its production
asked Mr.. Knapp.
why. yes. ii was always taken into con-
sideration." was Mr.. Morey's answer.
But you sold just as close to the price
Of cane sugar as you could, no matter what
the cost Of production was?' Mr.. Knapp
inquired.
Yes. that is So" said Mr. Morey.
The witness said that Mr. Havemeyer did
not urge him 20 adhere to that policy; at
least. he did not recall il, he said. Mr..
Knapp then introduced "A letter from Mr..
Havemeycr to Mr.. Morey written in 1901.
which said In part:
Il hope that now and henceforth YOU will
follow the quotations given 70 you by the
American Sugar Refining Company, and by
no other The entire interest at this sea-
