Highest Level of Sugar Prices in the World

Edgar’s Sugar House. Detroit, give* the following summary of the refined sugar sit-

uation:

With no abatement in the extraordinary demand for refined sugars, distribution continues checked by the limited sujip’ies and the difficulty or impossibility of shipping sugar after allotments are nade. 2.ead;ustmem m quotations last wee* -jy the American. Franklin. Howell an 1 Arbuckle place them ail on a uniform biwis *>I 17.50 k**a

two per cent.

Other refiners are withdrawn, working exciustvely on toll sugars. Federal is reported to have allotted some sugars at 23 less 2 per cent, in connection with tolling arrangements Howell and Federal have been able to make a few shipments to New York state and New England points from Yonkers, which is not as closely tied up as the port of New York. Arbuckle also is sa*d to have trucked sugars to Yonkers for loading at that point and Howell is sending barge loads to Baltimore, which market has been also hauling sugars by truck from New York. The American » allotments have been strictly local. The railroad situation in tbe east is somewhat improved, but the harbor continues to be bed up by the marine strike, which effect* not only refined but also direct consumption imported sugars. Opinion* are expressed that the strike will soon break; nevertheless it will take some time to dear up the congestion after labor troubles are passed. In the meantime, interior points have exhausted all spot stock* and the trade is awaiting further shipments to take

care of the immediate demand.

The invisible supply in consumers hands is bang rapidly exhausted and the public will make desperate efforts to secure sugars for the heavy consuming period this sununsr if given the slightest opportunity. Large sections of the country have been without sugars for varying periods of b-o*. and the vol-

borne in mind that this lost consumption will not be made up later in the year. The few sugars available both at refining points and at interior distributing markets have beat snapped up by the trade, in some cases at extreme prices. Sales have been reported

at 30 to 35 cents in some markets. The country has now passed from the low-

est to the highest level of sugar price* in tbe world, and in consequence every other country thst can ship sugars, irrespective of their own needs, is offering them to the United States, not only to take advantage of our high level of prices, but also to make the additional profit afforded by the exchange ntuation. Besides the usual offering from all the producing countries and island* of the western hemisphere, to which we have become accustomed in the last few months, sugars have been offered during the i».t few weeks from Japan. China. Formosa. Java. Egypt. Constantinople Caecho-Slovakia. Germany. Bein m Holland Denmark and Scandinavia. Java sugars have been offered for reshipment from British India and other points American granulated on spot in Hoi-( land has been sold for reshipment to the' '"SSiPS'lL r.th.r Jar. «. shipment during tne summer and arrival m the United Stales September and later, have been withdrawn, and are reported sold to Europe. Press dispatches report further activity of the department of justice, in New York and Philadelphia, in commotion with sutar speculators sales. The offset of this activity is already noticeable in the offerings. There will be a conference between the refiners and the department of justice within the next day or two for the purpose of working out a plan to protect the consumer

of sugar in the present situation.

prooer* say that another week of cool weather will mean that few vegetables will be on the market. The Farmers Federation of Knight township. Vanderburg county, has assured J. A McCarthy, county agent of i snderburg county, that they win have entries in the men s five-acre ami boys' oneacre corn-growing contest*. Other townships in the county are expected to enter....Not much can be expected of the oats crop in the pockei counties this year, according to McCarthy The wheat crop is looking better than it dul a few weeks ago. . . The execuUve committee of the Home Economics Club, of Evansvile. which started the local boycott on potatoes recently because of nifb prices, has issued a reply to the objection* raised to the boycott by Jacob Alean. president of the Vanderburg County Farmqra Improvement Association, who recently said that a boycott would cause the farmers to decrease the acreage of potatoes. Tbe committee gays that local farmers have disposed of this year s crop of potatoes, and that tbe complaint was made against per
