Army AND NAVY
ASSURE DEMAND
FOR BEET SUGAR
Early Purchases BY Govern
ment Tend to Stabilize Mar
ket on the Pacific Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-Pur-
chases on behalf Of the United States
government are destined this year 10
De most important factor in the beet
sugar market Of the Pacific Coast.
This fact was made very plain re-
celtly by the placing of orders for
more than 5000 tons Of beet sugar with
California producers, in order to sup,
ply the requirements, for one monthS
of the military and naval forces Of
| the United States, stationed on the
! Pacific Coast.
The California beet sugar compa-
MES apportioned this initial order OF
| the American government among the
several companies.
From a we'll informed authority it
was learned that the agreed price be-
tween the government and the sugar
producers was 10 cents net, for
granulated beet sugar. The beet sugar
growers cheerfully acceded to the
government request for this reduc.
ton in price, in view of the very large
orders which are expected to follow
this initial order.
This government buying will tend
to stabilize the market on this coast
and remove all danger to the pro-
Queer from speculation, inflated
prices, and corresponding depression
This purchase of beet sugar must
be filled from the crop which is grad,
ually coming into the market, as there
has been no carried-over surplus OF
beet sugar here for more than a
month.
Beet sugar yesterday was quoted by
the trade at $40 cents a pound, but
this quotation was merely nominal,
since there was no beet sugar III
storage to supply an immediate de-
mand.
Granulated beet sugar at 40 cents
means granulated cane sugar at ~
cents pound.
Although the several phases Of the
government plan for regulating the
sugar markets of America have not
been fully, disclosed, the sugar jour.
nails have recorded the fact that East
ern refiners have been requested so
to adjust their purchases Of raw sugar,
that refined cane sugar may be quoted
at " cents on October Is, and there
after.
1t is. understood that regular fixed
price will be- maintained for sugar
| throughout the war, changing, pre-
sumably, from time to time, as the
exigencies of costs of production de-
mand, and that a regular allowance
will be fixed for jobbers, so that their
profits will be certain, although small
and with the speculative feature en-
tirely eliminated.
There has been some talk, too, In
government circles of licensing al
grocers who sell sugar and other fooC
tstuffs.
H Such a move would be followed BY
the fixing Of definite price and Z
maximum profit for retailers of sugar
and through this license system, VIC
lations of the rule by grocers could BIZ
corrected readily by forfeiture o.
the license or the imposition of ap
propriate penalties.
Talking to sugar men yesterday i
was made clear that they expect theil
business is to be trenchantly regu
lated, but at the same time no one wa:
found who contended that such regula
ton was unnecessary, or that it woult
interfere with reasonable profits il

1t was a pleasant change for Jean
when she walked into the handsome
library that expressed everywhere the
fine taste and attainment of its owner.
Shields had no family. A housekeeper
and servants took care of the house.
After n time Jean found that the por-
trait of the young, beautiful woman in
the library was his wife who had died
twenty years Ago.
one day an acquaintance, whom Jean
had worked with in the publishing
house, met her, and asked a good many
questions about her new BERTH" When
II came to Mr.. Shields domestic reia-
tions before Jean entered the house
she knew nothing but the acquaintance
seemed to know y great deal. Mrs.
Shields had died when the little girl
was born, and the child had only lived

got sent to the penitentlary. 1t was

which. He denied to the very last that
he was guilty; but all the evidence
was dead against him, and he was con-

fessed, his father would have done
everything in his power to save him,
but he believed him guilty, and turned
against him. II was n strange case.
There must have been something more

Shields has never once been to visit
his son in prison since he has been
there. And of course no one dares to
even mention his name 10 him.

hard on his own flesh and blood"
jeans informer left her wondering
greatly. But she doubted IL she would
! ever know any more about the mystery
than she did then. Mr.. Shields eyes
began to give him trouble, and often
he asked her to drop her other work
and read to him. Then when he had
kept her overtime, he would beg her TO
stay and dine with him.
IL came 10 her ears that people
were saying that Peter Shields would
either marry or adopt Jean Thayer
But, at any rate, she was likely to be

happy in the work and companionship,
