N 'ADOO TO OFFER
SECOND NOTE ISSUE
Two Hundred Million Dollar
Loan Will Be Asked Of
Banks Soon.
DEAL MADE WITH BALFOUR

? Washington, April 26.-Secretary
MeAdoo is considering another offer
ing Of $2OO,0OG0o0 in treasury GER
tihcates, due June 80, to the banks Of
the country within the next ten days
The second offering Of treasury GER
tifcates, if made soon, probably will
follow the same course as that
adopted in the first offer of $2S0,000,-
900, from which $200,000,000 was
loaned yesterday TO Great Britain.
Conferences as TO the further needs
of the entente governments were
continued today, the immediate neces-
sites of Italy being especially consid-
cred.
Balfour and McAdoo Agree.
British Foreign Minister Balfour
and Secretary McAdoo have arrived
at a complete understanding on
questions affecting finance, trade ship
ping, banking, exchange and kindred
problems, it was announced today.
The working out of the details OF
the broad principles outlined will
form the major portion of the next
ten days work of the commission.
The foremost point Of difference
between the American and allied gov
ernments relates to trade both with
the enemy and with neutral govern
ments. There is a gap between the
extreme which this government be-
lieves justified under international law
and the practices OF the allies. As a
result the United States will pass as
strict laws as possible and allow the
entente to carry out other restrictions
which they have found necessary.
The British commissioners received
letter of greeting from NJ. Viviani
Mr.. Balfour lunched at the British
embassy and paid an official call on
<he French commission Later he re-
ceived call from the Chinese minis
ter.

Standard granulated sugar for the
above mentioned dates was quoted at
$3.50, while standard granulated last
year far. the spending dates was

Thus, while the cost of raws is not
over s per cent higher than last year,
the refined sugar is u to 20 per cent
higher than last year. =
Senator Norris attention has been
called to the fact that the tonnage OF
raw sugar on hand at present is ap-
proximately three times as great as
that on hand a year ago at this time,
yet dealers and rchners are pleading

More on Hand Now.
The tonnage of stocks OF raw sugar
in the United States April this year
and the two preceding years was as
follows:
flo7. 1916. 1915
81 $40 tons 120,405 tons 270,O79 tons
These sugars" the letter to Sem
ator Norris reads, were obtained by
the trust at prices ranging from $3.50
to $3.50. There can be no excuse on
the grounds of the great demand for
export
No Sugar to Great Britain.
"The Royal Sugar commission OF
Great Britain in its last decree re-
stricted the importation of sugar, and
as result its importation has actually
decreased during the last four months
$4,000 tons below the quantity import
ed during the same four months last
year. This same condition is true
with reference to France. II ever
there was a case OF all unjusthed in
crease and positive robbery by the
sugar kings; if ever there was such an
open and fragrant violation of all laws
and of principles that are conducive
to the public welfare without the
slightest regard for tie law OF supply
and demand, the present sugar mar
ket is such case"
