market is without any special feature, much
Of the material Offering being frosted as to
quality, and if forced to sale command varv
uncertain prices. The receipts of sugar to
date in New Orleans are some three tho,.
sand barrels III excess of the receipts to the
same date last year, which, if fairly repre-
sentative OF the crop production throughout
the state, would represent q crop of sugar of
some six thousand tons, or fbout 2 per cent.
greater than last year, with a higher price
level Of about 20 to % per cent.
The striking feature of the New York
market has been the fact that decreasing
supplies of sugar in New Orleans and the
decreasing supply of beet sugar in the West
have increased the demand for refining sue
gar in New York to such all extent that TIL
refiners now are unable to supply the de-
mand, and have been several weeks behind
hand in their deliveries, and later Arbuckle
is reported to have withdrawn from The re-
fined sugar market. The retners, who have
been very reluctant buyers, contesting every
step upward, opened the week with pur-
chases of Cuban and Porto RicAn sugar at
increased values, equal to 4.67 landed. Even
at these higher figures the American market
was rs cents per hundred pounds below the
parity Of the European market, all of which
shows how severely our American market
had been pounded by the refining interests
during their own dull season, and notWith-
standing Il coming sea son of short supplies
that statistically confronted them.
The Brussels Convention having settled
the Russian application for increased per-
NIT to throw it's sugar, on the market with
out the penalty attaching to other nom
convention states, has finally come to terms
with the various parties, and The conyen-
tion allows Russia to export 15O, 900
tons OF sugar this year IN addition to the
regular 2OO, 900 tons agreed upon some five
years ago. In addition to this, Russia is
to be allowed to increase It's exports over its
100000 tons to the extent OF lO0, 900 tons, the
same to be spread over the following years,
and the convention stands renewed for an
other five years from September |, 1913.
This apparently settles this difficult situation
and lends additional tirmn4ss to the New
York market. and considerable sales of sugar
have been made on the basis 1875 cents tor
SO test landed. Reports come from England
that that country will need nearly 20O, 600
tons OF Cuban sugar to finish out it's seasons
supplies, which Weakens the position of the
New York refining combine in its efforts to
resist higher prices in this western world and
1T the same time 20 keep out European buy
ers. 1t WAS noted during the week that
when the reiiner5 advanced their buying
prices 10 per cent. per hundred pounds they
advanced refined sugar twice as much, show
ING that by making low quotations they had
been endeuvouring TO hold down the whole
market, in which efforts they have failed
because Of the actual shortage in supply of
sugars. The market stands firm. -LouiSi

DITCH DIGGING WITH DYNAMITE.

A very interesting exhibition of ditch-dig-
ging with dynamite, was given on the Chou
pique Farm, near Franklin, a few days ago,
by a representative of the Dupont Powder
Company. Sticks Of so per cent dynamite
were sunk in the ground eighteen inches
apart, in a row one hundred feet long. One
cartridge in the centre of the line had a cap
and fuse attached, and this was fred, the.
shock sending off simultaneously all of the.
cartridges on each side, for fifty feet each
way, and in the wink of an eye there was a
ditch, one hundred teet long, and about four
feet deep and six feet wide, needing posi-
bly,, a Iittle shaping up with a spade or

THE G MARKET.

Our local sugar market, insofar as test or
refining sugars are concerned, has been
quite firm during the week, in sympathy
with the rising New York market. Good
STYLES Of clarified sugar cannot be had on
our local market, excepting by seeking for
them and perhaps baytng them from ware
house or for subsequent delivery from the
country, where reasonable stocks ef-such

CERTIFICATES
Secretary of State Sends
Them to County Clerks.
fFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, May S:-Each county
clerk received from Secretary of
State David S. Crater yesterday a
certificate showing the nominations
on both the Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets Of all the candidates
for delegate-at-large. alternate-at-
large, delegae and alternate. The
certification was sent to each Coun-
ty Clerk yesterday afternoon under
the provision Of the Geran act that
five days after the last day for
filing nominating petitions, certify
the nominations to all the County
Clerks.
The Geran act requires each
County Clerk to forward on or be
fore May s. to the Clerk of each
municipality in his county a state
ment Of the nominations, as re-
ceived in the certificate OF the Sec
rotary Of State. After receiving this
official notice the Municipal Clerk
must have printed the official pri-
mary tickets for each political party
to be voted on May 20.
The total number of candidates
nominatedby both parties, exclud-
ing three or four who have with
drawn, Is 257. OF these, 40 candi-
dates are for delegate and alter
nate-at-large. The Republicans have
nominated IL candidates for dele
gate-at-large and II candidates for
albernate-at-large. On the Demo
cratic ticket, 8 candidates have been
named for delegate-at-large and s
for alternate-at-large. The number
of delegates-at-layge to be chosen
in each party Is four, and four alter
nates-at-large are to be selected
by each party, SO that there are
only an aggregate of IL men to be
selected from tho 40 candidates.
The number Of candidates nomi-
mated for delegates and for alternate
is PIT. Each party Is to elect two
delegates and two alternates in each
of the 10 Congressional Districts,
or 90 men to be chosen altogether
from the PIT nominees.
John w. Harris, OF Mount Holly,
nominated in the Second Congress
sional District as a Roosevelt can
didate for delegate, withdrew his
nomination yesterday afternoon by a
notice filed with the Secretary Of
State. This still leaves four Roose-
welt candidates for delegate in the

Hudson River Military School Totally
Destroyed BY Fire.

Plalnheld, n. j., May S.-The Hud-
son River Military academy, located
at Finderne, near here, was totally
destroyed by n fire which Is believed

AS far as can be learned, one of the

MRS. EDDY'S
CIFTTOCHURCH
Son Loses Suit to Break
Provision of Will.

Concord, n. H.. May S.-The supreme
court of New Hampshire handed down
a decision IN the bill in equity of
George w. Glover against Henry NJ.
Baker, executor of the will Of Glover's
mother, Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.
The court holds that the reslduary
clause of the will. giving most Of the
estate valued at 100000 to the First
Church OF Christ, Scientist, in Boston,
Creates a valid trust"
The court says:
tissues of fraud and undue influence
in securing the will are not open in
this proceeding.
THE residuary clause Is not a gift to
a church, but a gift for religious pur-
poses, sustainable as a charitable
trust"
An amendment may be filed by the
plaintiffs, according to the decision, as
should they be able to show that the
bequest is for the pecuniary private
profit of the church the trust would be
void.
