Why Sugar Goes UP.

| The outbreak of war in Europe has
resulted in a sharp advance in sugar
! prices. On July so, the lowest net
cash quotation of the New York re-
| finers for graduated sugar was 4.16i
| cents d pound while raw sugar was
selling at 3.29 cents. BY Aug. 10 refined
had advanced to cents and raws tC
) cents.
| Germany, Austria, Russia and
France. the nations actively engaged
I; in conflict, are the chief sources OF
| Europes sugar supply, producing to-
gether some 100000 tons of beet sugar
| This is nearly so per cent of the en-
i tire output of beet sugar and more
than one-third of the total sugar crop
of the world. Ordinarily Germany
Austria and Russia export a million
tons or more of sugar To other coun-
tries, largely To Great Britain. The
largest production and the largest ex-
portaton is that of Germany. The har-
vesting of the German beet crop is
carried on largely by laborers from
Russian Poland, and this labor will not
be available if the war continues dur
F, ing the harvesting period. In all the
countries involved in the war the la
Dor supply is drained by military OPP
erations, and it is likely that the beet
! fields may be devastated by the move
ment of troops.
Great Britain is the chief sugar i'm
porting country of Europe. Her yearly
importations are over 100000 tons,
of which approximately 100000 tons
ordinarily is drawn from nations now
/ involved in war. With this source Of
supply cut off. Great Britain has
, turned to the New York market to Sc
cure sugar, buying 10000 tons within
the first few days Of August and bid
ding mp prices rapidly ir order to OBJ
tam it. While the European war con-
tinues it will he necessary for the
Eritons Ia depend for sugar upon
sources OF supply on which usually
they do not draw to any extent. 1t is
evident from wha: has occurred all
read that they are likely to continue
in sharp competition fer Cuban sugar
which ordinarily comes TO the Amer
lean market
The suppis Of Cuban and American
grown sugar III sight AT me END of
July vas just about sufficient to meet
the estimated demands of American
consumption up In the time When the
ahle Any considerable outside draft

to show It's effect at once in advanc-
ing prices
Fortunateiy for the United States.

Chicago Aug. 24.-WheaJ = At best
prices today wheat had scored a Is
cent advance from the low points Of
Iuiy and there were indications Of
fresn selling by farmers in the winter
wheat belt. This caused profit taking
which eased the market somewhat and
closed it from Is TO 12 lower for de-
ferred deliveries. The visible supply
showed fair decrease. which IS simply
astonishing in view Of the heavy run
at primary markets. The total wish
Bile supply is 1880 900 less than last
year at this time. Canadian stocks also
decreased heavily.
Corn-Good rains and heavy receipts
locally caused an easing Of this market.
September lost Il while deferred de-
liveries were a cent lower. These late
rains may help filing IN the late corn.
Their principal advantage Will be in
Improving pastures. Altho cash corn
sold here at declines of from Il to a
cent. sales OF contract grade were at
good premiums over September 1t
must be remembered that this corn Is
at the expense Of run next month
and 1t is doubtful whether farmers
VIII part with the balance of their re-
serves unless they receive as good
prices as have been paid for this Au
gust run. Shipping sales were liberal
and made a very fair demand for the
cash offerings on the basis of today s
decline.
Oats-Wen posted people estimate
todays export business as larger than
on any previous day. and exporters at
the seaboard. who We're not able to OBJ
tain the cash oats, were buying the
September in large quantities. This
narrowed the difference between Sep
TENDER and December very materially.
Cash houses readily absorbed the day $
receipts OF 725 cars probab bly, more
than half Of which Were on consign-
ments. AS domestic consumers are not
following the advance. an absence OF
export business for day or two might
cause fair setbacks.
Provisions = Provisions were fairly
steady.

clever STRATEGY IS
SHOWN BY BELGlANS
Allowed the German In
vaders to Pass the Forts
and Then Opened Fire
From Both Front and
Rear With Deadly Effect.

London. Aug 1.-THE German army
investing Liege underestimated the
fighting qualities Of the Belgians and
paid terrible penalty for their dar-
ing, in the opinion OF Victor H. Duras.
American vice consul at Liege. as quot
ed by the Brussels correspondent OF
the Times.
The correspondent says that Mr.. Du-
ras was an eye witness OF the first two
days OF the siege. which he describes
The Belgians permitted the forces Of
General Won Emmich actually to pass
the forts in their march on the town
and then attacked them In the rear
from the forts and on their front with
infantry. He estimated the German
casualties as from five to ten times
as great as those Of the defender.
Speaking as a neutral" says Mr.,
Duras, according TO the Times corre-
spondent. 1T seems to be part OF the
new military tactics Of the Germans to
fight as much as possible in the night
time. Comparatively little fighting
occurred at Liege during the day.
The scheme OF the Belgian defense
seemed to be not to make any serious
resistance TO the attack until the
German troops were actually past the
forts. Then when they were close up
to the town and their several bodies
trying to effect a juncture, fire was
opened on them from the forts behind
and from rifles and machine guns in
front, so they we're caught in trap
and retreat was cut off. There was
nothing left for them to do but to
be shot down or surrender.
THE amount OF suffering on both
sides owing to an inability to deal
promptly with the wounded was great
but especially to the Germans. whose
casualties were from five to ten times
as numerous as those among the Bel
gians.
THE Germans paid terrible penalty
for the holiness Of their scheme OF
attack. which, from military point OF
view. could be Justified only by a con-
viction on the part OF the German off,
GERS that they would meet with only
the feehlest resistance. The mistake
they made was in undertaking the
fighting qualities OF the peaceful Bel
CLANS"
