In the Sugar Market (By Thomson 4^McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 10.—We have had a considerably better market for snot sugar during the past week or more with the price now established on a 2%-cent basis for prompt delivery. Refiners appear to be in a none too favorable position a* far as supplies are concerned and the tendency in the raw market remains upward. The next development I believe will be an announcement of higher selling prices for the refined product. This, together with the firmness of the spot position, should have a stimulating effect on futures.

WEATHER SECRET HUNTED IN FAR PARTS OF EARTH Prediction Years Ahead Would Save Millions— Avert Famines. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.—Famines could be averted if the weather could be predicted for six months or a year in advance. Millions of dollars —and tempers—could be on baseball games, camping trips, open air performances and other activities if it could be predicted a week or a month in advance. United States’Scientists here and at tho far corners of the earth are trying to makp such predictions possible. At least two of the theories are supported by scientific leaders, although the weather bureau here asserts that It is Impossible in the light of present information, to predict for more than thirty-six hours. Careful attention to the thirty-six-hour forecasts, they add, would save many millions of dollars under present conditions. Institution Aids But the Smithsonian Institution has lent its moral and financial backing to the theory of one of its experts. Dr. Oharies G. Abbot, that I measurements of alleged variations In the sun's heat as it penetrates the earth's atmosphere, can be interpreted to show what the weather I will he for weeks and months in advance. / In (southern Africa, on Mt. Bruk : k iros, on a high plateau skies that never know a cloud for ten months out of every twelve, two young scientists are setting up an instrument called the bolometer, invented by Dr. Abbot to measure the sun. The reports are to be kept by the two solitary young men for three years at least, and compared with similar reports from the solar observation stations at Mt. Wilson, Cal., and one in Chile.

Argentina Help* The government of Argentina, proceeding along Dr. Abbot’s theories, has been predicting weather at longrange for several years. Scientists believe correlation of * observations from these different points of the compass will enable them to prove or disprove Abbot's theory that increased radiation brings warmer weather—decreased solar heat temperatures below normal. Here in Washington another man, Dr. Herbert Janvier Browne, claims to have established a system of predicting for a year in advance, based on his years study of the actions of ocean and air currents. Dr. from his laboratory here, asserts that next Year, 1927, may he known as a repetition of 1816, the “year without a summer.” Although there were no pfficial records for that year, it is reported that ice froze in some cities of the East on July \., • Many persons believe that weather travels in “cycles,” with exceptionally unseasonable conditions recurring regularly, but the weather bureau here asserts that there is no scientific basis for nuch a belief.

GERMAN POTASH INDUSTRY DOESN’T FEAR U. S. TRADE Says Vaterland Has Only Good Fields in the World. BERLIN, Aug. 10. —Germany's potash industry has no reason to fear competition from Texas potash fields, according to Director Rosterg of the Wintershall concern. At the recent annual meeting of this largest group in the German potash syndicate, Rosterg told why he had no fear of the American potash business. •Let the Americans first sink a shaft to exploit their potash fields,” he said. “They will soon find out for themselves the high costs involved in such enterprising.” “There are no potash fields in the United States, nor anywhere else for that matter, which in quality of product could compete with Germany’s." Rosterg denied most emphatically that ihe German potash industry is striving for a world monopoly in order to dictate prices.. He pointed out that at present, after the alliance between the German and French potash industry, the American consumer is paying less than before. By way of comparison he declared that for one unit of potash 13.f\0 gold marks had to be paid previously against only 11.50 at present. The Wintershall" concern, which united about 40 per cent of the entire German potash industry. Is at present operating eight different works. These, however, are not employed to their full capacity owing to slack selling on the German home market. According to statistics submitted to the annual meeting of the Wintershall directors, the German potash syndicate, which comprises the entire German potash industry, during the first two months of this year sold 1.400,000 cwt. less potash than during the corresponding period of last year. Nevertheless, the concern, which participates in this deficit in sales to 40 per cent, was able to pay Its shareholders a 12 per cent dividend for the fiscal year just ended.
