Proposed New Selling Terms. The
present terms on which raw sugars
are sold here have been in effect
since 1897 or as long as the present
duty has been in force. -.
With the change in duty on March
/, 1914, there will necessarily be a
change in selling terms, and 1t is pro-
posed to have a meeting Of buyers
and sellers, refners and importers,
next week, to exchange views and en-
deayor to agree on allowances per
degree up and down to go into effect
with the new tariff.
One suggestion is for &c per 100
pounds up (from agreed basis) to IS
Iegrees test, and &c down on cost and
freight sales, and &C up and sc down
on duty paid or free sugars, any sus-
ars testing above SO degrees to be

Another suggestion is to make the

The holders were greatly assisted
this season by the larger purchases

product by reason of the withdrawal
of beet refined from the eastern mar
