been the all absorbing topic in almost
all phases of the business and COM
mercial world during the last week
and it's bearing on the market situa-
ton has been felt in several places to
date. Probably the most sensational
feature of the whole aspect has been
the rapid advance in sugar, and should
the conflict across the pond be drawn
out to any considerable length 1t is
problematical as to what the ultimate
outcome will be. With shipping IA
cilities in statute quo everything Is at
present uncertain, but should trans
portation be Strengthened out SO that
foreign markets will be available 1t
gives every indication Of opening up
an avenue for general era of pros
porous business outlook
In agricultural pursuits the harvest
ing operations are getting we'll along
toward the close and unless the pro-
ducers should be inclined to hold onto
their grain, the marketing Of the crops
cannot but augur for good in the line
of business betterment.
