RAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. -The Examiner says today , After five months competition, be tween the Western Sugar Refinery and the California ami Hawaiian Sugar Re fining Company the price f sugar lias dropped from $5.15 to $4.30, In New York the price is $4.80, while at the Missouri River it is $5.00. The $4.30 price in the local market means the ruling figui for all the Pacific Coast states. This figure is so low that south ern and other coast beet sugar makers refuse to sell here, and are shipping all their output to the Missouri river. Both the local refineries are also ship ping to the Missouri river. Their fight, however is to control the Pacific coast field. It is estimated that the 85 cent reduction will affect 150,000,000 pounds, and that there will be a reduction of from 27 to 40 cents per hundred pounds on 350,000,000 pounds.
