A BOGUS DISCOVERY.
COLLAPSE OF THE ELECTRIC SUGAR COMPANY. EXTRAORDINARY REVELATIONS. London, January 4. Considerable excitement has been occasioned both at Liverpool and Birmingham, owing to doubts having arisen as to the bona tides of Professor Friend's Electric Sugar Company. Shares which were quoted at £120 had a tremendous fall, and were offering at £10. It was stated that only refined sugar was being treated. New York, January 5. Further revelations in connection with Professor Friend's Electric Sugar Company prove the whole thing to be mythical. The discovery was made immediately the secret rooms in the factory in this city were entered, after the disappearance of Mrs. Friend, who had promoted the invention since the death of her husband. The exposure has created complete surprise, and shares have receded to 30s.
