REVENUE DEPUTY HAS
PATENT FOR WORKABLE
HOLDER OF MAGAZINES

Deputy Collector j. w. Connella of
the local internal revenue office has
grown tired of the routine duties of
his work and turned inventor.
In the Scientific American of De-
cember % is published description
of a book and magazine holder, pat.
ent for which has recently been grant
ed to the deputy collector.
Though Connella has received sew
eral offers for the continuance he did
not send the model off until few
days ago, when a manufacturing COM
pany, having seen a description OF II
in the scientific publication, wrote to
him asking for information. Tbs mod
ell was made of aluminium, but Con-
nelIa plans to make others of steel.
BY the invention a reader is enabled
to enjoy his magazine as he would a
book, holding it in one hand instead of
two.
ConnelIa Is great reader, especial
ly after going to bed, and it was thus
that he hit upon the unique idea of
the magazine holder.

CUBAN PLANTERS
WORK ON PLANS
FOR BIG MERGER

That the easier tendency of sugar
prices before Christmas was due in
large part to the withdrawal from the
market, is the explanation of the sag
in prices contained in the sugar mar
ket review put out on December II
by Neyers & Callaghan of SO Wall
street Their weekly letter follows:
The easier tendency noted in our
last review extended throughout the
early part of the present week and
with comparatively little demand for
refined sugars. refiners generally as
sumed an attitude Of indifference to-
wards raws, which enabled speculative
buyers to secure small parcels of De-
cember, tlrst half January and last
half January shipment Cubas at
3 11-16c, 8 Csc and 5-16 basis 90
degrees c. & f., respectively.
THE market about this time was
somewhat irregular, inasmuch as
some limited business was transacted
with refiner at BIC for prompt, 5-Sc
for late December and Csc basis SO
degree C. & f., for January shipments,
as noted below, while operators, in
order to cover contracts. paid 3 3-4c
basis Sc degrees c. & t. for prompt
shipment and 1880 duty paid fthe
equivalent of 7-Sc basis IS. degrees
c. & f. for $500 bags of Cubas from
store here, this latter parcel being the
last of the stocks held in warehouse
here by importers. AS the prices re-
coded, the offerings had steadily less
ened and the amount of sugar put for.
ward for sale by Cuba dwindled to
such small proportions as to constr
tute a most unusual feature for this
season of the year.
Speculative buyers found it impos-
sibIe to secure any more December
shipment sugars at SAC, and gradu-
ally raised their views to 3 7-16c and
later to 1-2c basis So degrees c. q
t. for first January clearance and then
to 8 1-2c basis 96 degrees c. & I. for
last January clearance. Even at these
prices only small quantities were
forthcoming and the market closes
very firm in tone with comparatively
small offerings at 1876 for De-
cember. 3 9-16c for January and 3-8c
and 8 1-2c basis SO degrees c. & I.
for February March shipments. The
light offerings from Cuba may be part
ly attributed to the uncertainties OF
the freight situation. although the fact
that negotiations are now pending for
the amalgamation, into one corpora
ton, of large number OF plantations
is probably responsible to some extent.
