V 4 v THE MORNING ORE GONIAL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1903. 15 BEET SUGAR PROFIT American Company Reports a Prosperous Year DESPITE ADVERSE CONDITIONS Weeklr OrtKoa Crap Report Cool Weather Checks Growth ot Fruit Bndi, bat Loss bj Frost Is Mot Great. At the annual meeting ot the stockholders of the American Beet Sugar Company the beet sugar combination held at Jersey City, April 7, th old board of director! wer re elected, aa followi : TV. Bayard Cutting K. Fulton Cutting. James G. Oxnard. Dtmont Clark. George Foster Peabody, Edwin X. Butkeler. Kalroan Haas. James O. Hamilton. Dennlstown Wood, aU of New Tort, and Hen ry T. Oxnard. of Oinard. CaL. and Robert Oxnard, of Ban Francisco. President Oxnard la Ms annual report made tb loUcwlng sUtement covering the fiscal year ending June 30. 1KB. partly estimated: rrrrflt of eamoabm .......... ...f7,6Tl General expenses and lnterest.t34J.000 Depreciauon . tO, 938 Borplua ... $517,753 "The larae amount of general expenses and Interest Is." Mr. Oxnard said, "accounted for v, th larre exsenses attending distribution and sale of the company's sugars, owing to the keen competition and orersuppiy oi me market." The report to the stockholders states that in 1H . wir the camnanr tested Its capac ity to tnanafactnre refined surar profitably under the most difficult conditions. The arti ficial stimulation ot the Industry In Europe by the export bounty resulted last year la the ac cumulations of the abnormal surplus ana jis pressure to sell caused a fall in the price to a point below the actual cost of production. When the low prices from the principal selling points are considered ana the cosi ox ,nroaer. storue and freight deductea inersiram. u uu favorable nature of the conditions for success ful business can be appreciated. Under these circumstances, the showier made by ine com' Tianr mir well be called encouraging. The great sugar-producing countries .of Europe hare united to abolish the export noun ty. and the. effect of their action has been Inv mediately to advance the price of sugsr. The amount of surer produced by the comrany Is estimated at 11S.SS0.300 pounds. The operating cost ot the factories Is below any figure here tofore attained and wholly justified the large expenditures which have been made for the Introduction of new and Improved roeineoe. "The company's agricultural lands In Colo rado and California have been steadily Im proved and have Increased In value at least 109 per cent over their actual cost with Im provements. The climatic conditions prevail ing are unusually propitious this year ana promts a supply of beets which will tax the factories to their rapacity. It certainly seems conservative to predict a large output at a low cost for the coming campaign, and It Is confidently believed that a selling price aa low as last year cannot again be reached," WEEKLY CltOf REPOKT. Grain Makes Little Advancement Development of Fruit Checked. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OP AO rlculture. Weather Bureau. Portland. Or.. April It. The past week has been unseason ably cool, with frequent rains and some Hurries of snow. Sharp frosts occurred on several rooxnlngs. ..and In. some localities thin Ice formed.

Body of Italian Found Pnnctnred All Over With Stabs. NEW TORK. April It A murder was discovered early today, according to the police, by the finding ot th body ot a man, apparently an Italian. In a barrel In East Eleventh street, near the docks. The man's throat was cut from ear to ear. The body was warm when found. and the work of ferreting; out the sup posed crime was begun at once by De tectives. A scrub woman on her way to work today noticed .the barrel on the sidewalk, and she saw hanging on it a man's coat soaked with blood. She In formed the police. The flrs and the only clew found durlnjr several houref search waa the letters "W. T." painted on the bottom of the barrel, but the police think these letters will aid them a good deal In revealing; the mystery, It is supposed that somebody Intended to throw toe body Into the river, after Dnnging- it there In a wagon, but found the pier at East Eleventh street closed and dropped the load In the street In a hurry, fearing- discovery. The well-kept condition' of the hands and the shoes of the dead man Indicates that he was not a laborer. The police discovered the address, SU Third .avenue, written In pencil on the bottom ot the barrel, and tn the coat pocket a bit of paper bearing the words. In Italian, "Come, come In a hurry." The police believe this was a part of a decoy letter. A small perfumed woman's handkerchief was found in the barret At 3$ Third avenue Is a furnished rooming- house. The proprietor. Albert Vlecks, Was taken to the police station but said tie had never seen the barrel or the body before. Of 200 Italians summoned to the station none had been able to Identify the body. Coroner's Physician A. T. Weston, who performed an autopsy on the body, said that he had found IS additional stab wounds in the neck, besides the two deep gashes that had severed the jugular vein, thereby causing death. Of the wounds newly discovered, 12 were on the left side of the neck and six on tho right. Borne ot them were hardly more than scratches, while others were from a Quarter to half an Inch deep. All the wounds were in flicted with a dagger. The physician said the autopsy revealed no evidence that therejiad been a strug gle at the time the man was killed. He advanced the theory that the man had been held so that he could not move, while his assailants forced him to tell something they wanted to know, torturing him by making slight wounds In his neck.

Fierce Strassrle Between the Bulla and Bears Xo Alarm Over Con sequences of Securities Decision. XEW TORK. April 14. Ths downward course ot prices was turned today by the In fluential support la face of the continued heavy liquidation at the opening. When the heavy outpouring of stocks was stopped the bears be gan to look about for stocks to cover their short contracts. In the early stages of the recovery this was dona la a very leisurely and Indifferent manner, but towards ths end ot the day the buying for the bear account to cover became decidedly urgent- The turn against the short account was furthered by the circulation of a rumor lust before the close that several alternative plans ot reorganisa tion for the Northern Securities Company had been devised, and would be laid before the authorities at Washington, with the purpose of compromising the Government's suit against the company by arranging a status-Co conform with the law. and thus avoid an appeal of the ease to the Supreme Court. As soon as this story could be brought to the attention ot the dominant power In ths Northern Securities Company, It waa promptly denied, but this de nial did not reach the floor ot the Stock Ex change before the dose, so that the alarm ot the bears was unallayed. Previous to that time, there was a marked decrease in the vol ume of business as prices advanced and little Inclination to follow the advsace on the part of buyers. The tone ot the market during the opening struggle between the two contending parties on the exchanre was extremely feverish and Irregular, the bidding jip ot prices being- con stantly met with heavy selling, while at the decline the buying orders were executed with Increasing determination shown by the boils. A substantial recovery In Northern Securities on the curb at the opening and a sudden re lapse to near last night's level had a quick sympathetic response on the Stock Exchange and a final recovery to about $3 confirmed the steadier tone ot speculation on the exchange. Final prices of the principal active stocks were from lto 2 points over last night. - London did Its nrst trading, this morning since the announcement of the Jorthern Se curities decision, and the break In American stocks was not sufficient to brtcg prices down to last night's level here. The opening decline here therefore offered Inviting opportunlIes for buying on arbitrage account, and London took about 60.000 shares oa that account. With the rally In, prices, there was" a characteristic change In the stock-market views of the North ern Securities decision. A confident assurance was Indulged In that Northern Faclflc and Great Northern had not been Involved In de structive competition before the formation ot the securities company, and were not likely to enter upon It with the possible dissolution ot the corporation. It waa recalled that the com pany waa a holding device to facilitate control rather than to avoid competition- With the present conditions there Is not to much solici tude felt about leaving railroads out over nht. even where aa effective minority hold ing constitutes ths control. It has become doubtful also whether recently contemplated mergers would have been completed In any event by reason of the congested condition of the securities market. It Is considered ques tionable. In view of later developments, wheth er even the Burlington purchase would be pushed to a conclusion It It remained to be done at this time. The extreme alarm regard ing the consequence ot the Northern Securities decision, which was so prevalent yesterday, was thus quit absent today. Very little at tention waa given to any other condition In the day's recovery. Bonds rallied sharply In sympathy with stocks. 'Total sales, par value. 33,245,000.
