SUGAR SITUATION

Last year a great crop in Cuba saved the sugar situation. The destruction Of much of the sugar grown in Europe by the war did not create the famine conditions which many expected because the supply of cane sugar, from Cuba especially, was very large. In the United States not even the sumu- Jus of war prices prevented the beet sugar industry from losing ground through the effects of the temocratic sugar tariff. The war came too late and tho tariff was too formidable a barrier to the eN- pansiOn Of investments In the beet sugar industry. The conditions in the cane sugar section were even worse. says the Cleveland Leader.
 Now comes bad news from Cuba regarding the sugar crop. There has been too much wet weather, and within the last few days ,ol- rental rains have doue much dam age to the sugar plantations. Tobacco has fared even worse, It is not possible that the next Cuban sugar crop can be very large. IL will probably fall far below the records of several recent years.
 As for the European beet sugar crop, there is no chapce for full yield. Poland, Belgium and the northeastern departments of France grow vast quantities of sugar beets. In all Of them the ravages of the war have made q full crop impossible. All signs point to wide devastation before the next harvest of beets, in four or five sugar-prOducing countries ot Europe.
 These conditions argue with tce- mendOus force the need of a much larger domestic sugar supply in the United States than the American crop has ever furnished.

DUTY CONFRONTs THEM

Not merely an opportunity but a duty confronts the spring wheat growers of the United States. It is necessary for the country that they shall SOW the largest possible acreage next spring aud do their ut most to make the crop break all records.
 A great yield Of spring wheat in this country and Canada may keep the price Of the foremost bread grain of the world down to reason able limits. 4 short crop in the spring wheat belt would be a disas' ter insuring extreme prices for bread and entailing q sharp ad- vance in the cost of all food staples because of the effect of wheat up on other grains and on vegetables and meats.
 With the market for wheat where it now stands it ought not to be necessary to urge farmers in spring wheat territory to make the acre age of that grain as large as possl- ble, and they should see that their own interests require liberal ferFi- lizing of the soil and the most care ful preparation of the fields devo-- ed to a staple greatly needed.

Clever In London. Sloppy" In ParlS
 and Polite In Berlin.
 In humor. In urbauity. as In perfect control of his district, the London po- I!ceman Is the nearest approach to per lection. writes PeTrival Pollard, who @u "VagaUOud Journeys" has word o say of the various policemen of the world. He adds that in looks only our American policemen equal tbose oE London
 To the stranger the policeman seems the poitest of all LondOners. Chiefly. however. 1t is in his control of tratiC, awheel and afoot, that he Is unrivaled, When you consider the narrowness of the streets you constantly marvel at the easy skill with which Ee solves hts problem.
 The Paris policeman never looks any thing but sloppy" and bis notion Of controlling traffic at crowded street crossings Is enough to make the oh server shout with laughter. No enc minds hlm. and his attempts to regu' late the speed Of the PariSian cabby only result in a slanging match Ob servation of Parisian street traffic is all that is really necessary to impress YOU with the belief that in case of need the Paris policeman would al ways, with much noise and melo drama. arrest the wrong person.
 The police of Berlin are vastly bet ter than those of Paris. They do not look as well. according to our notions. as the English "cOnstables," but they ar, fairly smart The men are polite, control traffic inexorably and see tU 1t that Berlin is one of the cleanest and most orderly of cities. But as req soning individuals the Berlin police, men are hardly to be counted at all When anything happens to you more serious than crossing a cOngeSted street or losing your way you are fair ly certain of running hard against a city ordinance, mechanically enforced by the man on the beat
 No argument or persuasion prevails There Is the regulation, and here the instrument to enforce It The human element is entirely absent Both Italy and France are as to their police more human

CHICAGO GRAINS DECLINE
Peace Talk Affects Wheat
Prices-Provisions Irregular.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Bears had the ad-
vantage in wheat to-day, largely be-
cause Of demands voiced in Berlin that
the war be stopped. Closing prices
were steady, at fs@%c under last
night. Corn finished q TO fsc off, oats
down Il to 1ec. and provisions varying
from 2Izc decline to a rise Of 1212c.,
Suggestions that peace moves might
develop with unlocked for swiftness
carried just enough weight to discour-
age wheat buyers from becoming ag..
gressive and to induce good deal OF
scattered selling. Sentiment against
the bulls was increased By the fact
that quotations at Liverpool had some
what eased off and that exporters on
this side Of the Atlantic gave evidence
of a desire for at least a temporary
breathing spell. In this connection
there were advices that terminal IA
cilities at Boston were being overbur-
dened. Rapid decrease of interior
stocks led TO something Of recovery as
the day wore on. The falling off in the
supply at Minneapolis during the last
four DAYS was announced as 10000
bushels and in Kansas City for two
DAYS as $4,000 bushels. Range OF

COTTON QUIET,
CLOSING LOWER
An Early Loss Partially Recov-
cred and Prices Steady
in Late Trading.

The cotton market was very quiet
and prices Auctuated within q range Of
7 or 8 points, with the close steady at
a net decline of 1 to 3 points. Cables
were rather better than due on the
local close Of Tuesday, and there was
some Liverpool buying, on which the
market opened steady at an advance OF
to 3 points. Otherwise, however,
there was little demand, and prices
eased off under some wire house and
local liquidation. After showing net
loss Of some to points, the market
steadied slightly on a renewal OF the
Liverpool buying, which was supposed
to be for the purpose of covering the
short end of straddles, and which was
expected to be followed by sales In the
English market this morning.
Private advices from the Southwest
said that little cotton was offering and
that the volume Of business would al
most suggest exhaustion in the IN
terror. It was again reported, now
ever, that Eastern belt points were OF
fering cotton to New England mills at
prices which would seem low enough
to make the cotton a profitable deliv-
ery in the local market. Exports for
the day were 35,096 bales, making -
367,344 bales so far this season.
Southern spot markets were un,
changed TO &c higher, and the local
spot market was quiet at s.65c for
middling upland; no sales; delivered on
