20-CENT SUGAR HAS COME TO STAY, U.S. AUTHORITIES THINK WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Government authorities believe that the day of lower prices for sugar Is at hand. This opinion was reached by both the department of justice and the agricultural department, after each had made its own Investigation. These departments Join in predicting that sugar, from this time- on will be selling for less than 20 cents a pound. The authorities express the view that the profiteer and the speculator have Lad their day and that the. law of supply and demand will get back to work. There also Is general agreement that there was only little excuse for the hysteria over sugar in the last year, and there is further agreement that prices never should have gone as high as they dld.; It Is asserted that there always has been a sufficient supply of sugar; that the activity of the speculators and the general belief that there was a short crop were largely responsible for the shortage, which actually prevailed, as far as the retail dealers were concerned. - Opportunity for Speculators. The failure of the federal government to buy last year's sugar crop and the dissolution of United States sugar equalization board resulted it is asserted, in speculators bidding against each for the Cuban crop. Men with a speculative turn, who had never given a thought to sugar, except at the table for their tei and coffee, began dabbling In the market. They sent their representatives to Cuba and bought from the planters. They then arranged with the Yflners to refine the raw product, paying so much a pound for the refining, the title to the sugar always remaining with the speculator. As a result of all this, there was created a fictitious and panicky situation. The American consumer, as usual, was the sufferer. V It is insisted by the government authorities, that there is only one way the price of sugar can be held up and that is for the speculators to obtain another strangle hold. There seems to be small probability, however, of the speculators again getting the upper hand. The crop reporting board of the department of agriculture has just completed an investigation as to the stocks of sugar on hand in the various states. The board says that this inquiry shows that "there is a larger supply of sugar on hand today that ever in the history of the country." Reports from Cuba, Hawaii and elsewhere, plus the home crop of beet and cane sugar, break all records. According to the crop reporting board, the present sugar supply is 15 per cent, greater than ever before. The department's report as to stocks on hnd are for the early part of this month. The reports from Indiana, summarized, are as follows: ' Situation in Indiana. Evansville, stocks decidedly heavier: Indianapolis, big stocks; Frankfort, four times as much; Ft. Wayne, three or four times as much; Madison, about, the same; Vlncennes, retailers' rtnrk about the same, v The words "as much" used in the summarized reports mean in the case of Ft. Wayne, for instance, three times as much as ever before. Hcmbprp Ha'ls With Joy, Faint Siens of New Life fT?v Associated Press) HAMBURG. Aug. 20. In one day last week 22 steamors passed Cuxhaven on the way to Hamburg to enter the Kiel canal. This was the larerpst number of ships to come into the Elbo in 24 hours since the early davs of the war, and the event was hailed with intense saitsfaction here as a sign of better times. Five years ago it was a dull dav when only a score of vessel?, arrived The Hamburg-American line alone usually had from 25 to 30 big ships in port and the harbor was so crowded with shipping that the problem cf docking often became acute. In those days few flags other than those of the German companies were Feen in the harbor. Today Hamburg is literally under foreign colors. Shipping companies of all the principal nations have set up offices here and the formerly powerful German lines, having lost their ships, are now acting only as agents. American. British, Japanese, French. Italian, Spanish. Dutch and Brazillian companies dis play their advertisements in the shipping papers. Advertisements of German concerns are so few that on& must search for them. There is some ltfe again in the harbor but the ships are nearly all forcing. One passes long rows of splendidly equipped docks and warehouses once a hive of industry but now empty and still. And in the absence of the many ships that used to make Hauiburga a thriving commercial center, trade has died away and the great market places on the waterfront are practically .'eserted. Before the war Hamburg had become one of Europe's chief coffee markets. Now only a few sacks of that staple find their way here.
