In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson * McKinnon) NEW YORK. Jan. 28.—The recent bidding up ol raw sugar quotations which was not entirely explained, is now said to have been due to buying from the far East. But these purchases have not been of much importance and it is probable that whatever advances occurred in spot sugar were the result of a rather active demand from refiners here but the refiners have pretty well mapped their immediate requirements and have in fact put some sugar into surplus. The futures market ft steady but has displayed an easier tone and pending any frejh developments of a bluish character it is likely that futures will make no progress on the up side.

Across the Desk With Busy Men Retail Electrical Trade Is Brisk on All Lines.

By Rader Winget n=p“] RADE is brisk in practicali I ly all items in the re--1 / tail electrical business,” Thomas F. Hatfield, general manager of the Hatfield Electrical Company said today. “Small articles and especially radio equipment and vacuum cleaners are selling rapldly.” The four weeks following the Christmas holidays have shown better business volume than the six weeks period from Sept. 1, to Oct. 15, regarded as an index of normal conditions. All lines of goods have been favorably ailectod. Reasons for this up .rend are varried, but the “looseness”- of money seems to be the foremost cause. People are just naturally spending more, Hatfield said. This favorable attitude of the buying public Is expected to extend during the first part of the present year, according to Hatfield. The latter part of 1926 is too far away to permit any predictions. r?T % NE of the newest features in ifj I the electrical field is the refrlgerator equipped with an automatic electrical ice-making device. Many customers are purchasing them for their homes. Heretofore the principal buyers have been butcher shops and other tradesmen desiring an equalized temperature at a small cost. The high price has been prohibitive to their installation in the ordinary home. With the lower price placed on the electrical refrigerators this year the home owners find they can profit by their use. About 70 per cent more were sold during 1925 than were sold during the previous year. Hatfield predicts that 50 per cent more will be sold this year than last. , SNDUSTRIAL plants and central companies are placing orders for equipment, says Electrical World in their weekly review of the market. Inquiries in the market are numerous, indicating a satisfactory continuance of business volume. Trade is spotty in New England and the outlook is favorable. Sales In New York territory are satisfactory. Industrial firms and centralstation companies show steady buying interest in the market. Present indications point to rapid expansion of central-station companies in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Line construction material for new transmission lines has been In good Remand in the southeast.

SENATE TAKES UP TAX BILL; SPEED ASKED Smoot Explains at Length Why House Measure Was Revised. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Chairman Smoot, Finance Committee chairman, today opened debate on the $352,661,000 Federal tax reduction bill with the damand that it be passed by Feb. 10. He explained at length why his committee revised the measure passed by the House, which provided only $330,000,000 reduction. He defended lowering of the surtax rates on income from a maximum of 40 to 20 per cent as sound economics. He advocated repeal of the publicity clause of the income tax law because “no useful purpose" has been served by publication. He defended the committee's action in repealing the inheritance tax bill, retained in part; restoring the tax on legitimate drama, musical concerts and grand operas, which the House had eliminated; increasing personal exemptions, and refusing to abolish entirely the excise tax on automobiles, trucks and alcohol.

GRAIN PRICES ARE IRREGULAR Wheat Lower-Corn Higher —Oats Steady. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Grain prices opened irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today with wheat lower, corn slightly higher and oats steady. Lower wheat prices at Liverpool where the pressure of Argentine wheat is being felt, was the chief factor in bringing lower prices here this morning. There was said to be some underlying strength In the local whaet market but it will have to be encouraged before it comes out into the open or brings higher prices. Continued light receipts and an improved cash market gave com futures sufficient strength to break away from the downward trend in wheat. May and July deliveries scored price advances and September was fully steady. Trading continued light in oats and prices held steady. Provisions opened slightly lower.

paused at the entrance to the dining room. There was no sign of the lady of the house. Barbara’s faintness was increasing. She plucked up courage and went into the dining room. From the kitchen beyond, there were sounds of someone moving about. She pushed open the swinging dooi and looked in. Mrs .Crumpett looked up from an ironing board set on two chairs by the stove. She scowled at Barbara. Then she spat on a finger, touched it to the iron and went on sweeping the iron across the bard with vicious force. Barbara went in. "I’ve come to ask if you can give me a cup of coffee,” she said. Her tone was meek, in spite of herself. "I don’t think there is any kind of restaurant here, and I am threatened with a rather bad headache.” Mrs. Crumpett gave her an unfriendly glance. "I don’t serve meals," she snapped. Barbara’s head swam. She groped for a chair and sat down heavily. The woman at the Ironing board alooked at her curiously, but went on with her work silently. ”1 know you don’t,” said Barbara, “but I thought you might be willing to make me a cup of coffee. It’s really rather urgent that I get some quickly. Nothing else will ward off this headache.” Mrs. Crumpett spat on her finger again and the iron hissed. “Well,” she said, “I’m dreadful busy. This is ironing day and I can’t stop a minute. You can try the little lunch counter at the bus stop. They’ll have coffee.” Barbara rose and tottered from the kitchen. The sounds upstairs had ceased. Barbara went into her room and put on her hat and coat. As she started down the steps, the sounds of splashing began again in the bathroom. Mrs. Crumpett was just coming out of the dining room, wiping her hands on her apron. “That good-for-nothing Mrs. Biggs has spilled the water again,” she whined. “It's dripping down through the kitchen celling. I told her not to do any more ’laundry!” She made a lunge for the steps and clambered to the landing, as Barbara went out the front door. The street was more lively than it liad been the night before. Barbara looked about with lanquid interest. Her head was throbbing violently. She passed the brick house with its weedy lawn, and the bungaow that was once the home of Wilma Collins. The washing had been taken down, but the red-eyed poodle sat on the step as though he hadn't moved all night. Barbara turned and walked rapidly toward the bus station. A few doors beyond it she found the lunch counter that Mrs. Crumpett had spoken of. It was merely a wooden shed, with a glass front and two or three broken steps. A man with a soiled white apron and a chef's cap jauntily over one ear stopped wiping off the counter with a dirty rag as she entered. “Hello, sister.” he said. Barbara did not respond to the greeting. She took her place at a high stool by the counter and asked for coffee. "Nothin’ else?” he Inquired sourly. She shook her head. He brought her a cup of porcelain a half inch thick. The coffee was spilled in the saucer. Barbara lifted the cup to her lips and the coffee dripped from the bottom of it on her coat. She set it down again. “Have you any napkins?” she asked the mat. He shook his head. “Cut out the taffy,” he said. “This ain't the Wal-dorf-Astoria.” Barbara swallowed a few mouthfuls of the brew. It was not bad coffee, but the edges of the cup were greasy. She set it down half full and paid the waiter. He glanced at the cup. “What's the matter with the coffee?" he exclaimed belligerently. "Nothing,” said Barbara, and hurried to the door. Once outside, she breathed more easily. Even the small quantity of coffee had helped the throbbing of her head. She was turning toward Mrs.

Crumpett’s house, when she heard her name called excitely, behind her. Ijooking around her, she saw a very pretty young woman hurrying toward her. a baby carriage thumping after her. “Barbara, when did you get back? NJy. I’m glad to see you!” “Well, Wilma!” answered Barbara. “1 hadn't any idea you still lived here. Everything’s so changed since the old days. I just came in last night.” Wilma bent over and put ’be brake on the baby carriage. “1 and i t live here. We moved out a > ar ago. Hated to give up the bungalow but the neighborhood got so bad we couldn’t stand it any longer We were losing money every minute we held 'the place. You were lucky to get rid of that big house of yours when you did. Property here isn’t bringing anything now. Do you know, I’ve used your maderia luncheon set more than anything else I have?” A loud voice from the perambulator broke in upon the conversation. Wilma rushed around to the front of the carriage and lifted the covers anxiously. Barbara followed and lpoked over her shoulder. A round pink face in a fluff of white wool bonnet smiled at them. Apparently the wail had been only a bid for notice. “Did you ever see anything like him?” asked Wilma. Barbara stammered. ”1 suppose every baby is more wonderful than every other baby,” she said. “But this one really is exceptionally pretty.” Wilma smiled at her son “Os course he is. There was never another like him.” She put out a finger and the baby grasped it In both his pink hands, and gurgled, wrinkling his nose. Wilma turned to Barbara. “You’ve no idea what a baby is like. Babs, till you have one of your own. I used to scoff at fond parents just as loudly as anybody, but here 1 am, singing the praises of my son to the heavens, and not caring who thinks I am a darn fool. I feel so superior to anybody that’s never had one ” Barbara could find nothing to say. “You’re looking well. Wilma,” she remarked a little later, as they started back doVn the street. “I am well. And I’m happy. That’s what makes me look like this.” Wilma fairly radiated content from her plump pink and white face. “Well, I must leave you here, ' said Wilma, when they reached a cross street. “You’re not staying down there at the old house for long, are you, Babs?” Barbara dropped her eyes. “No, not for long.” Wilma spoke hesitatingly, with evident emb-irr .ssment. “Just as friend to friend, let me give you a tip. The__ woman who has the place isn’t much good, Barbara.” Barbara flushed. “I’m leaving to day. I simply had to have a glimpse of the place, the homesickness for it was so strong. But I’ll never be homesick again. I haven’t any plicb to be homesick for, after this.” Barbara walked back down the street. She walked very slowly, breathing deeply and trying not to think. She caught her breath as she came opposite her old home. Its squalor in the juorning light was more extreme than she had yet realized. She glanced at the room upstairs In which she had slept. The rents in the blind were clearly visible from the street. The window in the sewing room suddenly flew up and a curtain straggled out into the air. ( Barbara turned In through the gate ind went up the porch steps. When she entered the hall, there was no sign of Mrs. Crumpett. The dining room door still stood open, revealing the dust-laden table and the overturned chair. The door of the living room was closed. Barbara saw a card tacked on it, but she did not trouble to read the name. Barbara walked toward the stairs. The musty closeness of the house had made her head begin to ache again. She climbed the steps slowly As she reached the upper hall, the bathroom door flew open. Barbara saw a woman come out with a bun-
