(Ly Czarnlkow-R ionda Company
NEW YORK, July 21-Notwithstand-
ing that our refiners last week secured
over 100000 tons of raws, principally
Ior August shipment, there has been
no check to the advancing course Of
the market initiated some time ago.
Shortly after opening of the current
week, when refiners had obtained ad-
ditional moderate quantities at the
last quotation of 5.625c. CT, the price
Of August shipment Cubas advanced
other .06c per h. to $500, CT. (6.71c.l.
This was followed by further series
OF rapid advances which, at the close,
has brought Cubas up to sac. CT.
(6.96c.), which is the highest point
reached since outbreak of the Euro
pean war. The spot quotation was
raised .24c per ID. to 6.S9c basis So
deg.
1t is significant that, despite this
recent sharp advance, the weeks total
reported business aggregates only
about 1000 tons Cubas and 5000 tons
Porto Ricos, the latter description
having sold as high as sic. deliver
ed New York. The reason for this is
doubtless to be found in the influence
of the knowledge that only about 49,
900 tons of the present stocks in Cuba
remain unsold, in conjunction with the
fact that as regards the balance OF
about like quantity estimated as still
to be produced this campaign, plant
ers are reluctant to commit them
selves for future delivery, owing to
uncertainty on their part as to wheth-
er ruling estimates will actually be
attained. In his connection it may be
said that heavy rains now falling in
those sections of the Island in which
some CentralS still continue at work
is bound to curtail their output from
now on.
Another factor of much importance
has been a continued active demand
for the refined product for both do
mestic use and for export, at a time
when the total stocks of 222,274 tons
in all hands at the Atlantic ports are
64,769 tons less than those of a year
ago, and of which no part Is at pres
ent for account of importers as COM
pared with 114,026 tons held by them
at the corresponding date in 1916.
The recent appearance of Canadian
refiners in this market for moderate
quantities of Cubas, for which they
yesterday paid as much as 5.94c. CT
New York, forecasts further buying
from that quarter. The necessity for
such procedure is understood to have
arisen from the very limited quantity
remaining available from the British
West Indies for Canadian require
ments, large purchases by United
Kingdom having made deep inroads
upon this source Of supply, !
As indicated by the foregoing short
outline of the outstanding features, it
cannot be denied that the situation Is
now stronger than it has been at any
period since the World war started.
and the main cause for this present
strength Of the sugar market is the
inability, through scarcity of tonnage
for the purpose, to ship sugar from
Java to Europe. Owing to this latter
condition Of affairs, the Island of
Cuba, with a smaller production this
campaign than last, has had to be the
principal source Of supply for the
sugar demands of both the United
States and Europe. ---

Gen. Pershing To France

And Laclede has the honor of
being the birthplace and old home
of the man who is to have charge
of the first American troops to go
to the front in Europe. 1t was with
a source of pride that the people of
Laclede, Linn county and Missouri
in general, read in their daily
papers last Sunday that President
Wilson had selected Maj. Gen.
John J. Pershing to lead America s
first battle unit against the Ger
mans. Gen. Pershing and his
staff will precede the troops but no
information as to date or place
will be given out by the war de-
partment. Since the death of Gen.
Pershing has been com
mander of the department of the
southwest with headquarters at
81 Paso, Texas. Since leaving
Laclede to enter the army Gen.
Pershing has been a fighter of
Indians, Filipinos and Mexicans
out now he is to tackle the biggest
Job of his life. Foreign war news
will now have a special interest to
he people of Laclede.

Crop Conditions Good

The rain that set in Sunday
afternoon and continued until
Tuesday morning, not as a con-
tinual downpour, but as frequent
showers, was just what was needed
and a. great help to all growing
crops. Farm work had made ex-
cellent progress all last week under
the most favorable weather and
nearly all corn acreage had been
planted. Planters were started
again Wednesday in fields un-
finished before the rain began, and
the ground was never in better
seeding condition. Oats were
somewhat in need of rain and were
making fair growth. The rain.
supplied the needed moisture and
they are now coming on fine.
Gardens were never more promis-
ing than now. With warm and
sunshiny weather every sort of
crop will make a rapid growth
from now on.

Road Dragging

1t seems that Laclede has fell
down" on street and road dragging,
and especially on the county seat
highways, notwithstanding there
is plenty of money on hand from
the automobile license fund to
have the Linneus. Meadville and
Brookfeld roads dragged whenever
needed. Since this fund was
created the farmers along these
roads have laid down on the drag
ging proposition and the hiring of
teams to do the work at the right
time seems to be a difficult thing.
The main roads through this town
ship were not in good condition
any time last season and they are
even worse now. Automobile
owners are paying a special tax
and it seems the designated roads
on which the fund is to be ex-
pended should receive the proper

should be made for attending to

A Good Cure For Speeding

On last Thursday a Milan jitney
driver with a bunch of drunks
passed through Laclede as fast as
the old Ford car could turn a wheel.
He was not molested here, but on
arriving at Browning he was
arrested and prosecuted on a state
charge. He plead guilty and was
fined which with costs amounted
to $34.3O. Being unable to pay
be was placed in the county Jail
at Linneus until some Milan fellow
raised the money and paid him
out. AS he was released from Jail
the Linneus marshal took him in
charge for fast driving through
that town in violation of the city
ordinances. He again plead guilty
and the fine and costs in this case
amounted to $11.OO which one of
his associates paid. The News
gives his name as G.. w. Dell and
says that on leaving Linneus he
stated he had learned a lesson and
would cut out booze and fast driv-
