RISING TENDENCY
 IN SUGAR MARKET

New York, March 4-There Is still no sign of let-up in the rising tendency 10 the sugar market, which this week touched the highest level in five years. Much against their will refners this week were compelled to pay a 4.42-cent basis for Cuban raw sugar, the sharp rise in London options making it necessary to head off possible shipments from the sl- and to the United Kingdom.
 The highest point touched five years ago was about cent higher than at present, 80 that there is considerable margin before the market enters the dan ger zone. However, there are some who argue that the European situation is not sound.
 The advces from Cuba have helped shippers, continuance of drouth being re- ported and receipts at the principal ports falling off 1000 tons for the week, though still as large as last year. Neverthe- less a crop of 100000 tons is still pos sible, so that there should be ample sugar for our requirements.
 Refiners are refusing to accept con tracts until old sugars are taken out, the design being to check speculation of wholesale grooers.
 The abolishing Of the old rebate system and the quoting of net list prices is another step in putting the sugar business on a practical basis. snf
 There has been no improvement to. speak of in the rice market during the week and dealers are feeling none too cheerful over the outlook because of the uncer- tainty as regards the situation in the south,
 Brokers report much activity, the mixed advices from the south being held in part responsible.

 PLEA FOR THE BOY

Indianapolis, March Ave hear much about the terrible ravages of death among those that enjoy themselves. They call 1t the result of the diseases of play, but the diseases of work kill their hundreds of thousands while only hundreds suc- cumb to the diseases of play, even in- cluding dissipation and wine, women and song.' , said Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York. in the final conference on public school hygiene and physical cul- ture of the convention of the National Education association, department Of su- perintendence, today.
 Dr. Hutchinson urged that children in the schools should be taught to enjoy their life's work instead of making drud- gery of it. Most men labor so that they later may play. he added. What they
 should do is to play and work together. More amusement should be found in life and play should be directed into healthful channels instead of into des-

 At the same meeting of the council the Annjston Electric and Gas company, with whom the city's contract expired in Janu- ary, 1908. submitted a new contract whlch is 15 per cent lower than the existing terms, giving Anniston the same rates as prevail in Birmingham on residence and commercial lights. The city now mas In use ST street lights at s65 per lamp, mak- ing an annual total of $652h, and under the proposed new contract the company agrees to furnish 13 addition lights for a total of s6500 annually.

 Now that we are all ready for our Florida trip and we are going to take all our brand new spring togs and bon nets and parasols and things, I am going to make this an object lesson to your father" she muttered between her teeth, which held the fluffy ruffles of the daint- fest of hand embroidered lingerie she was folding.
 "Why father?' asked her first-born, who was assisting in the arduous task.

And now we must get out the tissue paper and stuff the sleeves of our best frocks; and don't stand there and look at me, but get busy with your own packing"
