SUGAR FAMINE END IS NOT IN SIGHT

WASHINGTON, Deo. 9. There Is small prospect of an early ending of the sugar famine. What Is left of the fcrop under control of the sugar equalisation board has arrived from Cuba and will be refined and distributed In the Atlantic seaboard territory before the end of the "year. That the quantity will be far from sufficient to meet the most ordinary requirementsof consumption is admitted, while It does not appear that much will be added to it by receipts of domestic beet refined sugar if, as Is

strongly intimated in trade quarters, producers are holding back supplies lor the end of the period of government control. Under the existing regulations the oeet sugar producer may not charge more than 12 cents a pound sea-board basis, whereas were they now an open market he could get at least 15 cents a pound for it and probably 18. Following December 31, when the power of control of prices and distribution of sugar vested in the sugar equalization board eplres, there promises to be an Interval of several weeks during which the shortage of sugar for general consumption probably will toe greater than at present. As to prices for refined sugar, when the law of supply and demand again lias full play the present conditions Indicate a certain advance of large proportions. Just how much will de

pend on the valuation the raw sugar

producer places on his product, which at rst is likely to be "all that the traffic will bear."

American Conveniences

Popular With Motorists

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 9. Purchasing an automobile in England these days Is

largely a matter of "futures," paying

for options on machines not yet built.

At the automobile show here this year

tit. n iiiuu iucj c , ncio uiuie vwpiv huu fewer cars than ever before, $5,000

was paid for the option on a $15,000

chassis that could not possibly be delivered before next spring. The same amount was collected by a man for his place among the first 50 to whom the manufacturers of an expensive car are to deliver machines certainly not before January 1. So many have been dealing In future contracts with the intention of selling their priority rights that one large firm has made its contracts nonnegotiable. After the second day of the show the agents for an American manufacturer of a light, cheap, popular car were reputed to have accepted orders for 38,000 with no delivery promises. Although pressed to accept more orders they refused on any condition whatever. Cnveniences on the American machines attracted much attention at the show. Some of the Improvements that Americans take as a matter of Course are rarely seen on British cars. Manufacturers of machines selling from 92,000 to $4,000 still prominently advertise that a self-starter is Included. It Is not unusual to see a driver cranking up a $15,000 car because it las no starter-

Wong, director of the Chinese educational mission; Chang Hal Hals, secretary of the mission, and Ben Sen Wu, an assistant, at the mission headquarters on Jan. 29, was set for Tuesday in the district supreme court.
