HAVtMEYER THE FIRST! WITNESS EXAMINED BY THE COMMITTEE. Washington, May 1. The inquiry In to the present holding of Cufban sugar and sugar-lands, ordered by the senate, was begun today !by the su!b-committee on Cuban relations. President Henry O. Havemeyer, of the American Sugar Refining company,, was the first (witness and ail of the members of the suto -committee, Messrs. Piatt (Conn.), Burnhaim and Teller, were in attendance. Senator Patterson afliso was present. Others present. With Mr. Havemeyer, were Arthur Denver, treasurer of the comipany, and Henry C. Mott. its raw sugar buyer. All of them were sworn. Replying to questions by Senator Piatt, Mr. Havemeyer said his com pany was 'generally known as the sugar trust, and that its refineries are lo cated as follows: In New Jersey, onef New York, three; Massachusetts, two; Philadelphia, two; New Orleans, one "Will you,", Senator Flatt asked "tell the committee how amich Cuban sugar, if any, has been purchased and is now held by your company?" "Since early in February last we have purchased 50,000 tons, or 256,000 bags, or about ten days' supply," re plied the witness. "Of that quantity 26,000 tons is now in rocess of ship- mtmt tmm Onh'a.." The prices had, he said, ranged fra5a 1.75 to 1.93, the highest prices toeing paid on March 13 ana the lowest. on April 22. "Where do you buy your raw sugar?" "All over the world, in Culpa Java, Haimlburg, Trieste, the British West In dies, South America, wherever sugar is grown." -- ' "Does the 50,000 tons you mention represent your entire purchases in Cti ba since the first of January?" fyv "No; we have (bought, tall' told, 93,000 tons of Oufba sugars during thelpNsfe if-year teohtn's mSply;&dr- ioonsumpuofi bNf! aibBut 35,000 tons per rweek." "Do you control any sugar in Cuiba other than that purchased?" "None whatever, in any manner." "Have you taken any options on Cu ban sugar?" "I haiVe not." "Have you made any advance on any Cuban sugar?" "None whatever." "So that you wish to be understood as saying that the amount you have mentioned as having represented your entire interest, direct and indirect in Cuban sugars?" "That is the statement I make." ContirjAiirug Mr. Havemeyer said the entire CrUban sugar crop is about 750,000 tons, but that much of it has been withheld from the market in view of the possible tariff corrections to toe unlade iby congress. On this account his purchases have (been only about one third of the averages of other years. On this account, too, the purchases had been rraade principally at Outports, where the storage facilities were poor, rather that at Havana. The purchases from the outports had caused most of the shipments to toe made from those ports rather than from Havana, where the company has about 45,000 tons now stored. The purchases at the optports had caused the sales there to be miade on a parity with the beet sugar prices. Speaking of the capacity of his com pany, he said that it refined 65 per cent of the American refined product.
