IF WE ONLY HAD THIS.

Chicago, May 20. —With sugar retailing at 25 cents a pound and upward in Chicago, the discovery was made of that staple loaded in. cars hidden away on an obscure railroad siding. Most of the sugar is believed to have been sent here from Philadelphia, many tags on the cars were missing in order to conceal the nature of their contents. Although consigned to wholesale grocers, brokers and other dealers, it is believed that the cars are being held for “chain re-selling” in order to keep up the price of sugar here.
