A NATION OF SUGAR EATERS.

Everyone knows that the amount Of
sugar consumed in the United States
each year is large, but few persons
b ealze the enormous amout OF sugar
imported annually. The total for this
year Is the largest on record-more
than 100000 900 pounds
Add the domestic production to this
and divide II by the population Of the
United States, and the result gives each
man, woman and child In the country
about seventy-two pounds each per an.
nun. AS many persons do not eat any.
thing like this amount and much sugar
IL introduced into the human bodies
In other forms than the refined pro-
duct. there must lie many people who
consume more than their own weight
IOf sugar In q year. The quantity eaten
In the form of confectionery Is en0r
nous, and, II sugar would do 1t, AM
erica would be land Of sweetness, II
not Of light.
II was the theory years ago that
sugar was wholly luxury, and that
any person would be better off for not
using 1t. The fallacy of this belief has
been demonstrated Of late years. Even
the United States Government is con.
vert, for IL sends tons OF simple can
dies to its soldiers In the Philippines
every year. This candy Is manufac-
tured in New York City, and the
amount Is large enough to make the
contract important.

NEWS IF CROPS WAS IMP PJRTANT FACTOR Iron and Steel Trade Situation
 Cause Apprehension BEARS TlMlD IN TRADING.
Corn and Cotton Carriers Enjoyed a Firm Undertone Throughout. Metropolitan Stocks Make
 Some Feverlsh Breaks.

New York, August 1.-The news from days stock market and the continued flood of damage reports from the north- west about spring wheat was not regard ed without anxiety. The iron and steel trade situation was another legitimate ground for apprehension over values
 The effect on stocks was more to par alyze the demand than to bring any se- were pressure to bear on the market There was no general liquidation in eyi- dence and the bears were timid about attacking the market by short sales. The sympathetic effort of special weakness at one or two points was also well re- sisted. The metropolitan stocks made some feverish breaks due to doubts on the present speculative holders because of the continued failure of confirmation of the merger rumors which induced them to buy their stocks.
 Sugar gave evidence of a continuation of a sensational speculation and of liquida- tion by belated holders. The feeling in professional speculative circles was in favor of some reaction on technical grounds but still the yielding of the gem eral list was very moderate. The decline of IA cents In Canadian Pacific on ac- count of low temperatures for the wheat crop in Manitoba was an extreme move ment. The lowest price for United States steel preferred and break in the price schedule for finished products was only half below last night. This was before the official admission of the cut in price of wire. As this is the event which the selling for some time was meant to antic- ipate it was natural that there should be some covering by speculative shorts on the announcement The recovery which resulted in the United States steel pre- ferred went far towards reassuring the disturbed sentiment oin the financial dis trict.
 An effective rally followed and the restraint was moved from the special fea- lures of strength which made striking gains. The corn and cotton carriers en- Joyed a firm undertone throughout. The firmness of the corn market was attrib- uted to sympathy of violent advance in wheat and reports current in the grain markets of danger to corn from frost were ignored. The coalers both of the hard and soft coal group made substan- tial gains. Pennsylvania railroad traffic officials reported an extraordinary traf- fic in coal especially in the movement of soft coal to the lakes. Pennsylvania Itself was held back by sympathy with Hhe early heaviness in steel but Norfolk and Western got the full benefit of these reports. The strength of Ontario and Western was a sustaining influence on hhe anthracite group. The buying of this stock was believed to be competitive as between the voting trust in this and the etockholders protective association.
 The stock market closed fairly steady

RING SENTIMENT WAS MORE EBULL|SH Rumored That Old Bull Leader Was Again Interested SOUTH WAS ACTIVE SELLER Brokers Believed to Be Trading for Wall Street Were Credited With
 Buying Moderately at
 the Decline.
SOUTH WAS ACTIVE SELLER

New York, August 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of one point on September to a decline of two points This was not good response to the flrnness of the Liverpool market. where prices were affected by a bullish interpretation of the weather bureau report made yesterday.
 The cables were offset in influence, how ever, by the generally favorable weather as reported early and also by further in- dications of an increased new crop move ment. Sentiment around the ring seemed little more bullish but the southern contingent continued selling and while offerings were not aggressive, prices grad ually slipped off to net loss of about 10 @1S points in the afternoon session The close was steady at a net decline of 8 G1o points. Sales were estimated at 75 OoO bales.
 It was reported during the day that the leader of last winters bull campaign was again interested In the situation and was taking a bullish view and this party sent out a circular after the close of the market stating that in his opinion the crop would not exceed 10,170,O00 bales. Part of the buying during the days ses- sion may have been for this account though 1t was impossible to trace any definite transactions to that source.
 Brokers believed to be trading for lower Wall street were credited with buying moderately at the decline while the chief selling orders seemed to come from New Orleans, 1t being reported also that Phila- delphia in this were moderate sellers. Houston receipts for the day reached 1,294 bales and are estimated at 1,70O to 2000 bales for tomorrow. Galveston receipts for tomorrow are expected to reach 1000 to 1,5O0 bales. The port receipts today in cluded 1.4i9 bales of new cotton. Specula- tive business here was very quiet and aside from the small southern selling or ders, seemed confined almost entirely to professional selling.
 Receipts at the ports today were 2,233 bales against 1,419 last week and 226 last year. For the week 10000 against 5,777 last week and 1642 last year. Today at New Orleans 272 against 4S0 last year and at Houston 1,294 against B last year.
