The cause for the recent drop Is
probably best epitomized in the fol-
lowing comment from the Czarnikow-
Rionda company circular: THE rea-
son for the apathy of rehners with
regard to ready sugars Is doubtless
to be found In the great excess of
receipts over MEETINGS, an excess
which. for the time being, has given
buyers more sugars to take care of
than they can conveniently handle
"a situation further aggravated by
strike which has caused the tenn
porary closing down OF our largest
refinery. Notwithstanding the strong
position OF the article, an improve
ment in the demand for nearby sug-
ars can hardly he looked for until
present congestion of supplies at At
lantic ports Is lessened." The re-
flnery referred to is one of the larg'
est establishments operated by the
Sugar Trust.

The SUGAR MARKET

A symposium of views on the
sugar market held by various au-
thorities is given in another column
of this issue. The circulars receiv-
ed by the last mail, while not of a
date to furnish direct explanation
OF the drop in, the price of sugar,
nevertheless forecast a temporary
cessation OF the hitherto steadily
advancing prices. When refiners are
reported as awaiting developments
and buying only for immediate sup
plies, 1t is quite safe to figure that
they see supplies in the distance that
must be forced onto the market, or
feel letting-up of the demand for
consumption.
As far as the general statistical
position is concerned, however, It
has lost none of the main elements
OF strength. Cuban crop estimates
are steadily receding, although Will

ALDRICH'S RETIREMENT

Senator Nelson A. Aldrich's an
nouncement that he will retire from
the Senate at the end of his term
will be considered rs one of the most
significant moves in American poll
tics. regardless of the Senator's as
sertion that the condition OF his
health causes him to withdraw.
II memory serves correctly, the
announcement of the Senator's In
tenaon to stay with the game was
made not very long ago. So II will
be hard to convince the public that
he has changed his mind for any
other reason than that the general
re Oft against things las is has
M. lie It too hot for him and he has
co .cluded that he might as well
quit.
No one will doubt that Mr.. AL
drlch could be reelected from the
State OF Rhode Island for the re-
mainder OF his natural life II he
feels disposed to ask II. But the
rest OF the country appears to have
tagged him as well as Uncle Joe
Cannon as the goat on which to sad
die all THE sins OF omission and COM
mission resulting from the upheavaI
and readjustment of the public
mind. Very probably Mr.. Aldrich
as well as Uncle Joe. refuses to play
this part, and, as proof that he
means 1t. gets out.
Through the retirement of Mr.
Aldfieh the Senate will lose one o.
its master minds and one who hal
done much for his country, though
his. methods are apparently getting
out of date. His withdrawal will b.
one of the incidents marking thu
passing of the Senate's "old guard

quarter OF century. Senator Hale

diet. Strong mel have always bee
