hundreds of millions of dollars.

$4,000, 900 of the maximum hoped
for.

indications are that Liberty day
subscriptions to the second liberty loan
brought the total for the $4,000, ,000,- :
600 drive close to $4,000, 900, 900, but
there is no official assurance that this
mark was passed"
No Accounting Possible.
The departments estimate was
based upon returns and estimates from
most of the twelve federal reserve dis
tricts, filed by wire at p. m, eastern
time today. At that hour, however,
the campaign still was in full swing
throughout the greater part of the
country. Tens of thousands of per-
sons were standing in line at banks
and other subscription agencies.
The full measure of the nations an
swer to the call for the funds can not
and will not be taken, officials assert,
much before the end of the ca campaign
next Sunday. There is una nj nifty OF
opinion, however. that much yet has
to be done if the $1,000, 900, 600 mark
is to be attained.

FOLLOWING CONFERENCE
New York Committee Prepares
to Meet Federal Board in an
Effort 70 Alleviate Shortage
There.


Washington, Oct. 24,-Two hum
dred million pounds OF Louisiana cane
sugar was contracted for here today
by the American Sugar Refining COM
pany and will begin moving north
ward next week TO relieve the serious
shortage of the eastern states.
If the eastern consumer had been
compelled TO await the coming of this
years supply from western beet and
Cuban cane fields there would have
been no relief for existing near-famine
conditions until late in November.
For thee.200 100000 pounds the re-
fners paid about $4,000, 900, or ap-
proximately 6h cents pound After
adding the cost of transportation and
refining it is estimated that they will
be able to sell 10 The wholesalers at
steadily reducing prices, beginning at
S.35 cents eastern seaboard and drop
fpiug to 7,25 by the end of the year.
The latter figure is the seaboard price
previously fixed by agreement for
Cuban, Hawaiian. and western beet
sugar and the price the, food admins
tration expects to maintain.
NInc cents Is EOfccdSt.
With the refiners' price at s.35 the
food administration announced to-
night wholesalers in the northeast
should sell at about $50 with the price
decreasing proportionatcly with re-
duction by the refiners. This. it was
said, should mean n price of 9 cents
to the consumer at once and of not
more than cents by the end of the
year.
The big deal for Louisiana sugar
was announced tonight at the food ad-
ministration after a two days confer
lence there among the producers
headed by John NJ. Parker. federal
food administrator for louisiana;
Earl D. Bapst, president of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, and Of
ficials of the administration. In an
,ticipation of the sale the transporta-
tion division of the food administra-
ton has already arranged for suffi-
cient shipping to transport 100000
600 pounds of the sugar to the Phila-
delphia, Boston and New York re-
fineries.
Retailers to BE Watched.
The first cargoes leaving next week
will go to New York. With the whole
sale market virtually out of the way
ysthe administration now is turning its
attention to retailers and Is prepared
to cut off the supplies Of those who
Insist upon taking war profits. Prices
from the manufacturers have been
fixed, all wholesalers will come under
license on November and the re-
taller now presents the only real prob
lem.
Both refiners and distributors are
instructed to withhold supplies from
any retailer who adds an exorbitant
profit. To supplement this move, or
ganizations are being formed through
which wholesale prices in all sections
,of each state will be furnished to the
federal food administration who will
make them public locally and report
to Washington with the names of any
exorbitant profit-taking retailers.
