sugar pebducsaggk Louisiana would
have to go to New York and would
necessarily be subjected to the cost
of transportation there and hence
should suffer that cost in it's price,
either directly or indirectly. The
sugar trusts record of monopolistic
buying; of boycotting those who
were unwilling to accept their die
tates; of boyeotting such brokers in
the west as Were willing to deal in
Louisiana sugars, is familiar story
to our readers and need not be
again stated.
What we are led now to con
slider is, what is the meaning of the
present movement on the part Of the
sugar trust in New Orleans, when
it SO deliberately and with the adj
vice of its distinguished counsel, all
of whom are very familiar with trust
monopolies, felt that they must dis
and did discontinue business in New
Orleans until now They claim that
the New Orleans market having risen
to a parity with the New York mar
ket, they are now not in danger of be-
ing penalized for buying in New Or
leans at below the New York price.
The same condition prevailed few
weeks ago, when they shut down and
were unwilling to do anything until
they could proceed with foreign SUI
CARS The distinguished counsel can
hardly have changed their views,
which had been so carefully con,
sidered and SO exactly stated in
their address to the public, duly
published in these columns. We are
therefore led to believe that the SUI
gar trust and its coadjutors want
sugar; that they can't get it any
where else; that they themselves
advanced the price in New Orleans
by their own purchases or such pur-
chases as are practically their own,
which We're Warehoused near Chal-
mette refinery, ready for just some
such coup as is now taking place.
These sugars, bought during the last
sixty days, were what New York call,
ed distressed sugars and had to be
sold and were sold at from Is to 25
cents per hundred pounds below the
New York market quotation. These

curate, that these Chalmette sugars
have been sold already in whole or
in part to another sugar refining
corporation in New Orleans, which
while not a part of the sugar trusts
combination, proceeds along lines
satisfactory to the sugar trust. Con-
corning these operations we presume
that We shall finally learn the de-
tails. but every effort is made to
conceal the facts in the case.
It did seem little startling to
have the distinguished counsel of
the sugar trust give a carefully
formulated account of the work of
the sugar trust, and of the necessity
for the final closure of the establish
ment, and then to find that on the
Sth of January the great ship Ell Rio
was speeding up the river to the
sugar trusts warehouses, there to
unload several thousand tons of |
white refined sugars, the sugar
rust thus paying the freight into
New Orleans in order to force the

SUGAR TRUSTS GYRAT|0Ns.
Paying New York Prices for Iou'Si-

Couldn't be Done-open and
Shut Game at chaimette Refin-
ery-Gov. Halls Firm Stand.

The following editorial from the
Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manu-
facturer of Jan. % affords the gen
eraI reader an excellent insight OF
the situation that has developed
from the attempt of the sugar trust
to maintain it's clutch upon the Lou
isiana producers and to bluff Them
into sacrificing their crop and aban-
doning their damage suits against
the trust:
1.-THE American Sugar Refining Co.,
more Familiarity known as the sugar
trust. sprung a surprise upon the
New Orleans sugar trade this week
by entering the sugar market ana
buying sugars based upon current
values in the New York market.
The New York market from the sell
er's point of view has been about as
injuriously managed as any market
could be that controls the sugar OF
the western world by the dictates of
little coterie of three or four buy
ers who peremptorily demand that
the sugars of the United States, Gu
ba. Porto Rico and Hawaii shall pay
toll to them in the shape of a differ
entail of about one cent per pound
between the price they are willing
to pay for So test and their own
cash selling price of white granu-
lated sugar.
This line of action, if successful
| ly carried out, gives them about Sll
ton net profit On the sugars they
handle, amounting to more than
three millions OF tons Of sugar per
| annum. this little band of monopo-
lists thus grabbing from the peobe
over 80 millions of dollars annually
for worh the cost of whSch is admit
TED not to exceed half cent per
pound, against the producer cost in
the tropics of 2 cents per pound, and
| In Louisiana of, over 3 cents per
pound. This toll the sugar trust
and its coadjutors have found n could
b@ most easily secured by driving
the price of raw sugars in the west
ern world down below the European
parity of prices. The proximity OF
these sugar refiners to the sources
of production and the legislation Sc
cured by them for years gave them
an absolute monopoly.
"The notifications of the law
have gradually restricted the control
of this monopoly and here in New
Orleans we find that the sugar trust
with it's great Chalmette refinery
at last revolted and shut down its
establishment and refused to buy SUI
gars. This clustering effort of the
sugar trust failed to have the eff
feet that the trust contemplated
and now we find it is again enter
ing the sugar market and, in conlpli
ance with the. law, is buying sugars
here, finding itself unable to buy
them elsewhere. In fact, while il

attorneys that it was compelled t.

Kansas Comment

WHEAT IN BIN IS GOOD SECURITY
BY the time the Kansas wheat crop
is harvested, threshed and in the bin
or elevator at least twenty million dol
lars will have been expended in pay
ment for these operations. This year
cash for financing our nine-million-
acre wheat harvest will be supplied
almost entirely by Kansas banks. The
usual demand of our banks upon the
east for great sums Of money just be-
fore harvest has been notably absent.
Banks of the state have on deposit
about two hundred million dollars, a
large portion to the credit of farmers.
Spectators are also planning to reap
their usual harvest. On June 25 wheat
for July delivery was selling on the
Kansas City Board of Trade for 90
cents, while cash wheat was bringing
$1.25. This is simply bet that, as
last year, so and 60 per cent of the
wheat will of necessity be threshed
and sold at once with the usual
slump in price. Wheat, threshed and
in the bin, is gilt edge security. With
Kansas banks bullying with cash the
wheat grower occupies far more
commanding position than year ago.

STACK YOUR WHEAT

| Suggestions to this end were urged
on the Kansas farmers a couple of
weeks or so ago by j. c. Mohler,
secretary of the state department of
agriculture; and not primarily as they
have been construed in some quarters
as a method whereby the farmers
could conveniently hold their wheat
for better prices, but because expert
ence has taught that it is the best way
of handling newly cut wheat in the
matters of saving the grain and straw,
and improving the quality of the
grain, as well. These suggestions of
Mr.. Mohler are being emphasized in
a forceful little circular that's been
prepared by the Crop Improvement
Committee of the Council of Grain
Exchanges of Chicago, and which is
being widely distributed in these parts
by the Kansas City Board of Trade.
1t reads as follows: Unless some I'M
foreseen calamity should occur the
wheat crop this year will exceed the
phenomenal crop of last year, and will
probably be more than 700,00O,0O0
bushels of winter wheat alone. This
means that the threshing outfits, rail-
roads. elevators, etc, will be crowded
TO the utmost and a great part of the
grain will stand in the field for weeks
Therefore, it should be stacked
Stacking will save grain and straw
which might otherwise be spoiled in
wet weather. Stacking will put grain
through complete sweat which will
improve quality. Threshing from the
stack requires less help than shock
threshing. which will equaIize the cost
of stacking. Stacking furnishes good
storage with absolutely no cost which
would prevent Cutting the market at
any one time. The grain must be re-
moved for early working of the soil.
Stacking makes it possible to pillow
following harvesting. Early blowing
is one of the greatest factors in in
creasing the yield. Discing the land
early is the next best thing.

ing to see which appeared the safer
prey Last winter, when the Russians
seemed about to overrun Hungary,
Rumania visibly stirred for spring at
Pennsylvania. Later on, the Teutonlc
victories at her very gates gave her
pause. Today she is closely watching
the effect of Italy'S onslaught upon
Austria Hungary. She is also interest
ed in possible happenings at the OAR
danelles. Rumania, like Bulgaria,
would greatly dislike to see Russia at
Constantinople. She would then lie
squarely in Russia's overland path,
and should Austria Hungary give way
to a SIavized Central Europe, Ru-
mania. even with Pennsylvania, would
be but an isolated islet in the Slav
ocean. OF course there are strong in
ternal cross-currents which may modi-
fy her decision. But looking at the
foreign policy, we may expect some
thing like this: If ConstantinOple falls
and the Teutonic allies fail in their
stroke against Russia, Rumania will
almost certainly strike for Transyl-
vania. If Constantinople stands and
Russia crumples up in Galicia and Po-
land, Rumania will as certainly strike
Rumania will probably continue her
present neutrality, although, as 1 have
said, there are internal factors which
may tip the scales one way or the
other.
