For some years, also, the Louisiana refiners and planters have been placing tteir stock ou the market through the wholesale trade and brokers, in this manner get ting a firmer foothold with the trade, lu addition to disposing of their prod uct to the sugar trust. The cause of the exetement among the members of the sugar exchange of this city is found in the receipt of a letter a day or two since by a promi nent firm of sugar brokers ot this city from a banker in Omaha, Neb., In which the fact became prominent that the sugar trust was working to the detriment of toe Louisiana sugar by con tracting with, tho associations of whole sale grocers ot that district to handle only standard or trust sugar. It ap pears that the wholesale grocers of Omaha have been approached by tho agents of the trust and overtures mado^ wdrereby the grooms contract to list the' 1 Louisiana granulated sugars at the same figures asked for the standard. This , according to the statement of the sugar people of this city. Virtually means the shutting out of the market of the Louisiana product, as, owing to the fact that these sugare nre ,riot widely known, the former product, wilt be eclusively handled. j The 'tiruat in miking the protposiitlon ms above requires ot the wholesale deal ers ithait -they shall sell tth standard granulated alt a certain figure. When the purchased attack is exhausted, sold uk too figures nominated by the trust, llie la'tter institution eillciWis the dealer a rebate on tho product! sedd and In sures -them a fair profiyon their deal. The proposition Is favorably consid ered by the dealers, fort it gives them a profit on the traneadtlim, no matter at whist figures tlhe sugar sells. In addi tion to this. Itthe trifat further requires that the dealers raflusc to llfft Louisiana yellow olarlfleld sugars. The areent to tthis on tlhe part at too dealers excludes this grade of saigur from too markets of too country/ A member /of the sugar exchange, In discussing £he question, ealid thalt tote notion of /the trust simply meant that its accoprtance by itthe whotoeutle dialers ' of the /aunt-rv would place toe entire LoulsJ/na product alt the mercy of and unit-/ 'the supreme control of title mo- nop/»y. , hi is ateo given cus am tnttdMion or .>the truth bf toe reports that a broker / c<t tote city wbo fills orders from the eounttry recently called on toe trus. agents here to purchase a car toad or G'andard eugam for a wholesale grower cut of the city. The trust agent Kid 14m tthht they understood he handled plantation sugars, and If this was cor rect they would not fill his order. The reipcrts have crofted great anx- tty aril indignition nt toe sugar ex change. and a meeting will be held to- rr.orrov to coneldior the quetatten. The Sugar Dealers’ Assookiition will nlSa take uo toe subject, and will, if necos- Hiry, carry toe fight Into congroat, and make a vigorous proteat asattust this effort of toe trust to control toe product of toe refiners of tote state. The Picayune says editorially in ref erence to thdst "The sugar trust ltas antagonized the masses of the people by Its many acts of despotism.
