washington June @.-Arguments heard by
the Interstate Commerce Commission to-day in re-
gard TO the allowance for carriage made by the
carriers entering New York City for the transfer
OF sugar The carriage allowance is two cents a
hundred pounds all shipments of sugar out of

the allowance and to decide whether ii part
or the rate given by the carriers to the shippers.
1t developed at recent hearing of the that
all the sugar sold in the country takes the Phila-

advantage OF a 2-cent differential compared with

the New York refiners have to pay. In order to
equalize the price carriers entering New York have
been allowing the refners carriage Of two cents a
hundred pounds.
