Sugar Market

New York, February 25-The local mar ket for raw sugar was quiet and no new business was reported. The under tone, however appeared to be a little steadier and ruInors that spot sugars had sold at 3B cents cost and freight, which were circulating early in the day, could not be confirmed. Tn fact, holders withdrew all offerings under 4 cents for spot, and seemed to be quite firm at that level, while March was offered at 1-16 and April As cents. Refiners were still holding off apparently being sup piled for the immediate future and are not inclined to make new commitments. The close was steady at 5O2c to 5.05 for centrifugal, 425 to 4.28c for molasses and to 1-32c for Cubas, cost and freight.
 In refined there were moderate with drawals on old contracts, but new busi- ness was light. Inquiries were in the market from exporters, but no business was reported. Prices remained unchanged at 625c for fine granulated.
 The market for sugar futures was steadier and trading was moderately ac- tive, with prices closing to points net higher on buying by commission houses and some support from trade in- terests as well as covering of shorts, in- f1uenced by the steadier tone to the spot market and rumors of export business of granulated. March sold from 4.O5 to 40Sc, closing 409s; May 4.15 to 420c closing 419c; July, APT to 4.2sc; closing 42Sc

the former decision would be incon.
elusive; in the latter q decision would
definitely settle the question for the
whole country. The motion to dismiss
the case here, however, it is decided,
will promptly result in final decree
from which an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court. The assistance of
this court has been invoked to facilitate
final and authoritative determination
of the constitutional question. The case
was presented but yesterday and a de-
eision is desired today. II is far from

record judicial conclusion without the
care and deliberation essential to a con.
viction that he would stand to in every
circumstance. Upon the merits of n case
tie government neither asks nor re-
eeives from court greater considera-
tion than is required by the settled rules
and presumptions of law, but request
by the department of justice to aid the
progress of case consistently with the
rights of everyone cannot be declined,
certainly not for personal consideration.
Upon a consideration OF the Adam.

teal effect and what was intended to
be accomplished by it, the judgment is
that, as the court construes the terms
of the law, il cannot be sustained

If You Suffer from Backache, Lumbago, Kidneys or Rheu
matism Take Hot Water and "ANURIC"

American men and women must guard
constantly against kidney trouble, be-
cause we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, be-
come sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and a general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead, when your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night, when you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from your
druggist-''Anuric. p" Because of uric
acid in over.abundance in the sys-
TEN. backache, pains here and there.
