MAY RETAIN DUTY ON SUGAR
Loss of S5O,OOO,OOO a Year When. it
Goes on Free List

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Retention OF
the duty on sugar. which is slated to go
on the free list next May, was hinted here
today by Representative Claude kitchn'
of North Carolina, chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee and floor leader
Of the House. lie admitted that addi-
tional revenue legislation must be con-
sidered so soon as Congress reconvenes,
and added that there is some talk oi
letting the duty remain on sugar
\ loss of revenue, amounting to at least
$50. .OCO,0C0 a year, will be suffered when
sugar goes on the free list Kitchin said
this fact would have weight in consdera-
ton of the revenue problem. He declined,
however, specifically to forecast at this
time legislation repeating the free sugar
clause of the Underwood law.

TW0-AND-A-HALF CENT
DROP IN GRAIN PRICES
Increases in Exports and Mil
lers' Sales Reported-Corn
and Oats Easier

CHICAGO. a ". 27-Prlces at the open
ing OF the grain market were low today
and continued weak I'm the early hours.
The low levels prevailing brodght out the
buyers and trading was brisk. shorts
covered at handsome profits. Bears,
however, are optimistic and declare that
one anu two cent rallies do rot cause
them to worry about a market which
broke 10 cents In a week. An increase In
export and millers' sales nov being felt
VIII offset the grain i'm stocks, according
20 some operators.
September wheat was taken at 30 at
the opening. At yesterdays closing S9is
was asked. drop Of only &c. was
recorded before noon because buying was
heavy.
Like September. December showed a
loss when compared with gSk, Yesterdays

day. Its undertone was nervous, and It
slipped OF trlhe without recovery before
noon.
Buyers paid SlO2A for May 1T the spen-
ing. Yesterday It brought S1.O29s asked
at the close II was also weak and fell
off further in the early hours. Prices
continued to fall as the day advanced,
and at the close We're off on the averag
of 2ia cents from yesterdays final
Corn and oats reflected the tone of
wheat and opened generally lower than
yesterdays closing prices There was a
rush 20 sell corn at the opening, with the
short element absent. Trading in oats
was light Traders I'm these products are
anNiously watching the weather reports.
1t is feared that the cold spell reported
from some Of the corn districts will be
detrimental to the crop.
Export sales reported aggregated 300 OoO
bushels OF wheat, 10000 bushels of which
is to be shipped via the gulf, on what is
believed is an old order. About l,OO,OOC
bushels Of oats have been contracted for,
