Relative to a situation in connection
with sugar stocks-the seeming lack
OF demand for high grade securities
yielding high returns. in the face OF
exceptionally high prices for sugar
the following comment which appears
to sum up the situation so far as Ha-
waiian interests are concerned APP
peared in August 4 issue OF the San
Francisco Examiner:
"One of the most remarkable phases
of the existing war situation is the
the Hawaiian Island sugar stocks and
the California beet sugar issues.
Despite the fact that raw sugar is
selling at the very highest price at
tanned during the last twenty-five
years, and Notwithstanding that sugar
futures yesterday reached new high
level, sugar stocks are inactive, and
the present prices for them are prac
tically unchanged from those of weeks
ago.
AT New York yesterday, Septem-
Der sugar futures reached s. l. which,
with the duty added, is equivalent tC
III cents a pound for raw sugar, and
spot sugar sold yesterday in New
York for 7.27 cents pound.
"Contrasted with the enormous ad'
vance recorded by raw sugar during
recent weeks, one finds a market in
which sugar stocks are stagnant, with
practically all of them dealt in
locally, returning a yield, at present
prices, ranging from II per cent to
Is per cent and upward per annum.
at is not, however, the prevailing
low prices for sugar stocks that is
the most puzzling feature OF current
markets; it is the fact that the buy
ing impulse for local sugar issues
would seem to be dead, for the mo-
ment.
THE transactions In sugars in the
local exchange in any single recent
week formed a negligible factor in
the volume of trading; yet in these
same weeks, raw sugar was moving
progressively upward.
This extraordinary inertness Of the
sugar stocks was commented on yes
L6TudSS III d COnNOl ooItOA Will NA3
president of a local bank, who is a
director of one or more sugar COM
panies; but he too, was utterly at
loss to account for the lack Of buy
ing impulse. He said:
81 cannot explain it, save for the
fact that the stocks of many other
companies, which are prospecting
enormously just now, are selling at
prices which certainly look attractive.
Take California Packing, for example.
1t is enjoying a wonderful year, yet
the stock hangs around $3S share.
Again, it was pointed out, that the
very fact that Packing was enjoying
a most prosperous year was an indi-
cation of the increased consumption
of sugar-sugar bulking largely in
syrup in which all fruits are packed
"The only plausible reason that has
been suggested in the financial dis
trict for the total disregard of these
sugar securities has been the Hide
fined fear that the United States
government might take possession of
the ships carrying raw sugar from
Honolulu and the Philippines to this
port, and move them to Atlantic wa.
tiers; but since America, through its
beet culture and its cane culture IN
Louisiana, produces only very small
fraction of the sugar consumed IN

Red Gross Goods Not Sold.

The following statement has
been issued by Harvey ID. Gibson,
general manager of the American
Red Cross:
A story is being circulated to
the effect that sweaters, socks and
other articles knitted for the Red
Cross are being sold, either to
the public in shops or direct to
the soldiers. This is emphatical-
ly not true. No articles whatever,
either knitted or otherwise, made
by Red Cross workers and turned
into any Red Cross chapter, aux
iliary or branch, or any supply
warehouse, are sold either to the
soldiers OF in shops"

MILITARY CENSUS
 STILL HELD UP
Blanks for Enumerators to Work
 With Have Not Arrived.

The task of making a military sur -vey of Killingiy- continued to be held up Thursday: on account of failure of the blanks to be used by the enumer- etors arriving. First Selectman John A. Gilbert said nothing mere would be gone. until the blanks are receiv- ed Tn a general way, the town has been divided into districts for can -vassing the detail of assignments to be worked out at a general meeting of the enumerators as soon as the blanks are received.
 An impression has become quite widespread in town that the enumer- ators are, in effect, going to enlist men for war. This idea is not in ac- cordance with the facts. There is nothing in the blanks that any per son will be asked to fill out that pledges a person to military service The intent Of the survey is to ascer- tain the man power of Connecticut and to classify that man power in the interest of tie state. Such informa- ton as is written into the blanks will be kept secret. The enumeFators are not recruiting officers in any sense of the word and their work will be made easier if Killingly's male citizens keep that in mind.

A call from President Wilson to Mrs. Catt would be communicated by her within aE hour to the president of every stato association. By the president of each state association it would be comrnu nicated to the president of each league and before a day had passed every wo- man of the rank and file would know the service that the nation was asking of her.
 The advantage of suffrage organiza- ton was never so obvious as it is at the present moment, and the officers of the c. ". s. A. are urging the pres idents of all the leagues to perfect or ganization ih their towns and to eE- roll as many women as possible who shall stand ready to answer the call of the nation. It is natural that suffTs gfsts who are looking forward to be- coming full citizens should thus bc eager to fulfill all the duties of cifiy zcnsIip.

| 4 surprising shrinkase in the mum Der of head of cattle owned in Wind ham county will be shown by a com parison of figures for October 1916 and 1917, it is now predicted. From all towns of the county come reports of cattle sales and of many more sales planned.
