The royal commission on sugar supplies, of London, announces that, owing to restrictions in importations, the quantity of sugar available in England in 1916 will be from 20 to 25 per cent less than in 1915, and that therefore an equivalent reduction in consumption is necessary. Ten members refused last Thursday to abide by the action of the house democratic caucus which voted, 84 to 20, to support the administration bill for the repeal of the free sugar clause of the Underwood tariff law. The bill will be reported promptly by the ways and means committee.
