Writing on April 16, tho Standard's . Vienna correspondent says;— Sugar rose again to-day at Prague, the principal market in Austria, in t harmony with the continuous advance reported from other quarters, The j, reasons assigned for the improvement by tlia organs of the sugar refiners in 1 this country are partly an actual ! scarcity of supply—a fact mentioned in the recent discussion in the House of Commons—and partly tho prospect ' of an-.lnternational. Convention being j shortly concluded, which will put tin t end to sugar bounties, It is the [ latter reason which is more especially ' dwelt upon by the trade organs here. J Their object in this is, in part, nnquestionably toiufluencepublicopinion ' in England aguinst the International ! Convention,- which is distasteful to Continental sugar refiners. There Ib, ' however, reason to believe that the 1 chief cause for tbc continuous rise in the price of the, article is tho existence of on international sugar-trust on the American model-ra matter oh which tho organs of the Continental refiners naturally say nothing. Towards tho . end,' of February the Standard mentioned the fact that the Austrian sugar refiners were in negotiation with a view, to forming a 1 sugar trust, the aim being to raiso the prico for. home- consumption. Tlie proposal was that, in addition to the amount granted, by the State, bno florin per double hundredweight should bo paid an extra bounty 'to tho reGnors working for the export trade by those .working principally for home consurnptipn, The calculation was that 'the larger exports would, by diminishing the supply at home, lead to a natural advance of the latter in price. The scheme, hpwever, has proved impracticable, and a project of quite an' opposite chaiacter appears now to have been adopted.. Statistics showed that tho quantity corresponding to the maximum bounty in this empire, that is, five million florins, had already been exhausted for the present season, which, will last till the next beetroot harvest. Fresh exports from Austria bpforo the new jiarat wptiid', there- ; fore cause a loss instead of a gain. Similar papulations 'with regard to other exporting countries also show a diminished visible supply. The con- I ditions' were, therefore, favourable to : j an International European Trjist/and from time forward the sugar market ; appeared to be.regulated by. some i occult means,'; Like pother: combina- i tions of the kind, the object of the i Trust is in party of course, 'to secure I higher prices; but-the principal aim ] in the present instance, appears to be j to baffle the effort3;of,Baron.HeiiiT j De Worms.' In keeping ivjth. tliis j object, the organs"if Austrian reOncrs i predict that the Convention Bill mvi i before, the British/Parliament''; will ( not pass. ■> r ;v..': : .';:.;,U.-v--'i': |
