WILL BE MILLION TONS Cuban Crop Estimated at 4,000,000 Is Record. There will be a surplus of 1,364,854 tons of sugar (refined basis) available for the United States next October, predicts Federal Sugar Refining Company in its review of the Industry. This carry-over is about a quarter -of a /million tons more than the Federal estimate of April 10, and is a result of the increased Cuban production. The Cuban crop will reach the record total of 4,050,000 tons, according to the latest estimate. This will leave available 1.880,951 tons of raw sugar for the United States until Oct. 1. Adding the balances available from other sources to the Inkers’ and importers’ stocks of on hand, makes a total available of 2,761,140 tons. Deducting exports and melting for the domestic trade (on the same basis as last year) the total available on Sept. 26 1* estimated to be 1,364,854 tons of refined sugar.

Market Review

Hogs In reviewing for the week the local livestock market, one thing predominates, the steady price and demand for hogs of the heavy class. On Monday they were quoted at $7.60 and $7.65, top price for the day. Tuesday they were a nickel lower with the general market. The same thing happened Wednesday. When prices advanced Thursday 10 to 15 cents, heavyweights brought the top. The hog trade has fluctuated within narrow limits during the week. Receipts were averaging about the same as last year’s. Cattle The cattle division held fairly steady for all good classes. Butcher stuff and lightweights were off a dime to 15 cents. Buying interest held up very good. Efforts to bring the prices down in accord with several outside markets materialized only partly. Receipts have been. fairly light and a little less than last year at this time. Calf trading displayed the Usual amount of interest. Prices in general were steady, with exception of Tuesday, when the top was a quarter lower. Bulk of sales for the week were made at $lO. Sheep and Lambs This market is still the least active of any in the yards. Receipts have been light. Receipts this time last year were averaging about 200 Lamb prices generally have been $2 higher at sl6 than last year. Other quotations have been about the same. CLOSING CRAINS BREAKSHARPLY Belated Liquidation Send Wheat Prices Down. By United Press CHICAGO, May 31. —Grains broke sharply at the finish on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Belated liquidation sent wheat prices tumbling. The break was checked only by the clsoing gong. Attempts to sell out by longs, who had held firm hoping for higher bids, brought about the slump. May corn led in the downturn. After hitting new high territory on the crop this delivery dipped sharply, closing 2 1 /* off. Oats displayed more strength at the finish, although values were lower. Provisions showed some effect from the grain weakness, closing slightly lower.

Caution is the prevailing element in the current market. The situation is one of curtailed production, small-quantity buying and few changes in prices. The upward trend in volume of construction during April evidently resulted from lower construction cost. Since the first week in May, however, there has been a steady decline in contract letting with the possible exception of a slight gain in public awards, mostly for buildings. Latest reports show that revenue freight loadings, while somewhat under a year ago, are heavier than last month and also greater than during May, 1920, 1921 and 1922. The general trend of trade and Industry, with the exception of building, is downward and few signs point to an immediate change in the situation.

STATISTICS WILL SHOW STEEL INDUSTRY BETTER Dun’s Review Says Prices Have Moved in Buyers’ Favor. The month of May brought a decided re-adjustment in the iron and steel industry, as statistics of production will show when they become avalaible. Demand in about all lines fell off, forcing a general restriction of output, and prices have moved more strongly In buyers’ favor. Further declines appeared this week in the compilations made by The Iron Age, with a composite finished steel price at the lowest point In more than fifteen months. Uncertainty as to the future course of prices tends to limit new business, but the policy of the principal producer In maintaining wages is regarded in some quarters as making unlikely any marked concessions from current prices. A year ago prices were also easing, but the markets then were considerably above the present basis.

IS PROHIBITION A SUCCESS?’ WE SHALL SEE, IS CRY Five Men Are Delegated by Congress to Delve Into Problem. By C. A. RANDAU Times Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 31.—And now the drys want to know if prohibition is succeeding. A bone dry committee of the ©House of Representatives has been Instructed to inquire into the liquor question and “to continue until It has gone to the bottom of the whole controversy.” The wets have cited figures proving, at least to their own satisfaction, that prohibition was a complete failure. In reply, have come voluminous statistics from the Anti Saloon League and the Federal Prohibition unit proving, to their own satisfaction, that prohibition was an unmixed blessing. New Inquiry The new Inquiry proposed in the House will follow.. somewhat different lines than that proposed in the Senate where the Couzens committee promises shortly to resume its study of the various departments of the Treasury, including the Prohibition Unit. The House committee will direct Its activities toward gathering all the facts concerning the enforcement and violation of the Volstead act.

Specifically, the following subjects will be studied: The alleged amount of alcoholic liquor that is being illegally used or smuggled into this country. The failure on the part of the officers to enforce the prohibition law. The decrease or increase in drunkenness. Alleged abuse of the permit sytem. Breweries operating with and without permits. \ Alleged violations of the law by alcohol denaturing plans. IJhe probable effects of a modification of the prohibition law. Itig Job The tremendous job will be undertaken by five ardent dry's. A member of the committee is the successor of Andrew J. Volstead himself, the man who ran on a platform that he was “drier than Volstead.” He Is Rev. O. J. Kvale, the only “independent” In Congress, a representative from Minnesota. The other memters of the committee are Grant M. Hudson (Hep., Mich.); ’ Addison T. Smith (Rep., Idaho); William D. Upshaw (Dem., Georgia), ard John C. Box (Dem., Texas.) DEBATE U. P.

No Decision in Round Two of Bout Twixt Fair Into and Tinney

By FRANK GETTY NEW YORK, May 31.—With the fair heroine aswoon-in’ in an arm chair and the villain chuckling and practicing left hooks on the court attendant, the curtain went up today on the great courtroom scene in the latest Broadway dramas^’‘Battling Frank Tinney and the Lady Imogene.” Entrance of the leading lady Into Magistrate Goodman’s court was as dramatic as any young chorus girl with ambitions toward electric lights could wish. Carlred In a chai by two husky attendants, Imogene Wilson made her appearance. The courtroom craned eager necks to catch a glimpse of her pale beauty. She was obviously and audibly suffering from the wounds sustained at the master hands of Terrible Tinney in the oneround bout in her apartments last Tuesday night, which was the cause of today’s court action. Looks “The Proud Beauty" Faint moans came from her pals lips and her head sagged back so that the golden curls that were the pride of Mr. Zlegfeld’s front row fell across the white fox fur collar that graced her slender shoulders. One champagne-colored silk-clad ankle was crossed daintily over the other and the lady’s hat straightened and her nose powdered, and she was

The comedian, who has to answer to charges of felonious assault, was his usual unworried self. “Ma" Tinney was in the back of the courtroom, backing up her battling hubby in this, his latest scrape. Both she and Frank were confident that Imogene would recover a sense of humor In tme to see the light and let her comedian lover go free. But when Magistrate Goodman got around to calling the case, Frank Tinney was nowhere to be fdund. West of the Water Tank “He had just stepped out for a little refreshment, your honor,” ex plained one of the comedian's lawyers. “What does he think this is, a pleasure appointment?” demanded Judge Goodman angrily. “Go get him." They got Tinney presently, in the vi unity of the water tank outside.

NEW GRAIN RECORDS Canadian Pacific Railway Shows Large Increases. CALGARY, Alberta, May 31. Every week sees new grain transportation records hung up by the Canadian Pacific Railway in Alberta. Records compiled up to the end of April showed that since the first of September, 1923, no less than 114,250,000 bushels of grain, including 94,250,000 bushels of wheat, had been handled In this province by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The total for the entire previous shipping year was 63,750,000 bushels of all grains. Canadian Pacific Busy By Times Special WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 28. During the eight months ending with April the number of cars of grain inspected on the railway lines in the west was 294,869, an increase of 49,918 over the number during the same months of the preceding year, according to a report of the dominion bureau of statistics. This is over nine times the number during the same months twenty years ago. Os these 294,869 cars of grain, 162,439 were handled by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the balance by other railways.

‘SECOND BEST’ HERO OE WAR ISJN NEED Veterans’ Bureau Made Way Hard for Man Who Gave Arm in Conflict, Times Washington Bureau, IStZ Veto York Are. BUFFALO, May 31.—With Alvin C. York, called by Marshal Foch “the greatest hero of the World War,” In the limelight again, because of efforts of Congressman McKellar of Tennessee to get him the pay of a rtlred Army captain, SIBO a month, attention is directed to what has happened to the second greatest hero of the war. He is Sergeant Frank Gaffney of this city, proclaimed by General Pershing to be the "second greatest hero,” after he had walked Into a German machine gun nest and captured sixty-nine prisoners unaided. Gaffney had his entire left arm shot away on the Cambria front, a few months later. Fortune has treated Gaffney even worse than York. After the war Gaffney was awarded vocational training in paper making chemistry because he had once been a machinist in this Industry and was somewhat familiar with general processes. $l7O a Month For a time he received $145 a month training compensation. His employers, realizing that he couldn’t make both ends meet with this amount, Gaffney being married and having one child, added $25 a month to his Government allowance. Technically this is a violation of veterans’ bureau rules. So when the bureau made the “startling” discovery that Gaffney was getting $25 from the paper firm they deducted that amount from his .allowance. At the time they knew Gaffney was suffering from his wound and he had to stay away from training school an average of two days a week. Doctors at the bureau gave him liniment to rub on his shoulder and advised bath and electrical treatments. Still the torture continued. “At times It was so bad that I couldn't even get out of a chair without my wife pushing me up from behind," Gaffney said. After Gaffney had suffered this way for twenty-three months another veterans bureau man walked into the laboratory of the Niagara Paper Company. “I’m sorry, but the Government has decided that you are rehabilitated.” he said, and took Gaffney off the compensation list. Gaffney tried to keep at his work, but the pain in his arm became more and more unbearable and he finally was forced to quit. Another Job Friends obtained a job for him at the municipal auditorum by appealing to the city council. Seeing his condition, Robert Smyth of the Disabled American Veterans took Gaffney to one of the country's leading surgeons, Dr. Joseph Burke. “What you need is an operation, not liniment,” Burke stated, and advised Gaffney to go to the Sisters Hospital for an operation. But again the Veterans’ Bureau stepped in. “You must go to one of our doctors and one of our hospitals or else we won’t pay,’ they informed Gaffney. Mindful of the “liniment” treatment, Gaffney chose to go to Dr. Burke. Burke, himself a major in the j medical corps, refuesd to accept pay for the operation, and he induced the hospital to do likewise. A year ago Burke operated and removed two tumors from Gaffney’s arm. Instantly the pains ended and Gaffney is now back at the paper concern, trying to save enough to get a home for himself and family. He has appealed for further vocational training, but so far the Veteran's Bureau has failed to hear him.
