Company, awaiting a market, accord
Ing to statement made before the

Oxnard, president OF the company.
The company could not find mar
ket for this sugar even at price be-
low the present market quotation. I'M
tied States District Attorney Preston
quoted Oxnard as saying;
This proves oonclusively that the

are simply Juggling with the stock
they have on hand. which Is a three
months supply" Preston said. 1.-THE
Testimony. showed also that the East
ern refnerles had been making no
purchases OF cane raw sugar" sr
The testimony referred TO was
brought out at the beginning OF tho

advance in sugar and other food
prices since the opening OF the Euro
pean War. witnesses asserted that
the price OF sugar is fixed in New
York.
Sugar men told the grand jury yes
terday that the Increased prices were
baned on the fear OF the Eastern re-
flneries that the Engliah buyers shut
on from the continental sources OF
beet sugar supply, would ovorbid them
for the Cuban ray cane sugar crop.

trenched. with powerful forts to lend
the msupport in holding back the in
vaders. An official announcement is
sued at Paris warns the people that
the tide of battle may ebb and flow;
that there will be actions along this
great line which are bound to be re-
sponded TO by just as stirring counter
actions by the Germans. and that the
people must wait for the outcome Of
the first phase of this great battle,
which probably will last several days,
before they can form anything like an
accurate opinion of the probable re-
suit
Japan has come into the War Of
Nations. The Emperor OF japan has

vising the State Department to with
draw Willis r. Peck, the American

sary, because American interests
temporarily are terminated.

ton manufactures probably would be
