Sugar Market

New York, August 22.-The local mar
ket for raw sugar was dull again, and
while prices remained nominally un-
changed in the absence of business, the
undertone was easier and sugars in store
were offered at 4ssc cost and freight, a
decline of 1sc from last sale prices. But
refiners were again apathetic and with
the demand for graduated still disap-
pointing they seemed inclined to hold off
and await developments. Spot prices
were 4Ssc cost and freight, equal to 575c
for centrifugal, and 1850 for molasses,
all nominal
A slight improvement was noted in the
demand for granulated, but considering
the warm weather demand was still very
disappointing Withdrawals on old con-
tracts were moderate and some small ex-
port sales were reported at 5.75c net cash
in bond. Prices were unchanged at &c
to 7.25c for fine granulated
The market for sugar futures was
easier with closing prices showing net de-
clines of to 10 points. Sales, $3.50 tons.
The easier feeling in raws owing to the
disposition of holders to make sales even
at concessions seemed to inspire selling
in the futures market and as the demand
was not aggressive prices eased off rather
sharply. September sold from Arc to
1885, closing 4.57c; October, 1890 to 4.65c.
closing 1850; December, 4,54c to 4.40c, clos
ing 1850; March, 4c to 397c, closing 396c;
May closed 404c

RECORD OF LONG SPEECHES
Unlimited Debate in Congress Has

men Gifted With Words.

Under the rule of unlimited debate
in the senate of the United States
several speeches have been delivered
that lasted longer than the twelve
hours of the address in the Austrian
parliament. But these speeches were
Interrupted by calls for quorums and
sometimes by colloquies with other
senators. These interruptions some
times permit the senator holding the
floor to leave the chamber for a few
minutes during the calling of quo
rum. The longest record of speaking
uninterruptedly in the senate was
made by Senator Reed Smoot OF Utah,
who, without interruption, spoke II
hours and 20 minutes on the night of
January 27-2S. 1916, in opposition to
the ship purchase bill. With inter
ruptions permitted by the rules, the
long-distance record was made by Sen
ator Robert II. La Palette of Wiseon-
sin, who held the floor for IS hours
and 80 minutes, on May 1880, 1908,
against the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill. The late Thomas H. Carter of
Montana, when he was In the senate,

Hunting by AeropIane.

The hunting spirit has not been slow
to take its cue from the successful use
of the aeroplane in war. If the scout
can make his way unchecked above the
lines of the enemy and search them
out as he will; if he can drop bombs
or shoot with definite effect on the
enemy below, then surely the hunter,
being able to fly low with no risk to
himself, could follow his game from
the air and get it at will.
This has been done with success.
The Literary Digest tells of hunting
coyotes over the western plains by
aircraft, quoting from Flying the de-
tails of how it is done. The animals
are taken unawares. On the air side,
the only side from which they have
never had reason to expect attack,
their instinct has left them unguarded.
This will be remedied in time, but
what good will it do them? The aero
plane can fly faster than the animal
can run. 1t probably will be adapted
to the hunting of many forms of big
game the world over, giving the hunter
the advantage of protection from the
recoil of such animals as tigers, lions
and elephants which he never could
have before.
