SUGAR.

7 Something like a revolution has been
 caused in the sugar trade of the world by the European war. Cuban cane sugar men and American beet-sugar producers have especially profted by tho cutting of of large European beet sugar areas from their natural mar llrets. Willett & Gray, the sugar ex- ports. estimate that this years crop of all kinds Of sugar will be 1,S42,0O0 tons below last year and 2,174.0OO tons lbelow the last year of peace, 1913-l4. lEurope's beet-sugar yield is placed at
 only 5,1Ss,053 tons, as against S,179,- :013 tons two years ago, but expansion in tho cane and beet crops has made up about one-third of this loss Cuba favored by ! good weather and proximity to large markets, has prof lited. but other producers farther re- moved from consuming markets have been unable to get their cane-sugar

 STOCK MARKET

!: New York, Aug. 5.-Openfng.-The extreme dullnAss which marked to- days early trading exceeded anything recorded thus far this year, even for . weekend. Only a few important stocks were quoted in the first half hour and price changes were t1signid- Cant, except in Gulf States Steel which dropped 1-4 points. Local fractions were unaffected by the strike. aside form minor recessions in the bonds of some of the principal and subsidiary compan1es Prominent rails relin- quashed their barest fractions, with dec1ine4 of 1~4 to 518 in United States Steel, Mexican Petroleum, Studebaker AnA MAxwen Motors.
 Closlng-rodAy's two-l1our market session established a new record for absolute etagnation since the reopen ifnE of the Exchange in December, 1914. Transactions in the first hour. with many representative issues alto- gether omitted. barely totaled 10000 shares and the last hour was equally JApthetfc. Attendance of traders was at a minimum and commission houses might as well have suspended opera tfons. Changes in quoted values were almost utterly devoid of actual inn 1 portance. News of the day, aside
 from the car strike situation, had lit- fss bearing upon market conditions. 2socal fractions moved variably, Tird
 Avenue rising IS. while Brooklyn Transit lost point. The closing was
 firm. Bonds were irregular.

though it is not improbable that there
may be other cold nights in the latter

are, however, that summer will set
in little earlier this year than usual,
though the indications are that June
will arrive before the heated term
begins. In the meantime, there has
been enough warm weather to insure
a good growth of such field crops as
