Comparison of sugar prices this
month to date, as against July Of las,
year, shows in q graphic manner how
much better money the Hawaiian
sugar crop now en- route to New York
is bringing than it was a year ago
this week.
The high price record was broken
again this week then quotations on
Q Hawaiian basis shot up on, Wed.
nesday to 6.5S5 cents, passing the
best previous record for July to date,
which was 6.55 cents.
From the first OF this month, quo.
tations have been as follows:
July 2, 6.27; July s, $40; July 6,
6.2s; July 9, 6.2s; July 10, 6.23; July
II, $685.; July IL, $40; July IL, 6.455;
July 16, 6.52; July II, 6.57; July IS,
6.5S5.
This shows that the increase in
sugar prices this month first began
on July 9, when the quotation jumped
from 6.23 to 6.2S. It fell back the
next day, July 10, to 6.2S, but began
rising again July IL, going up to
$685.. From that Gay on 1t has con.
tinued to increase, until on Wednes-
day it scared to 6.5S5 cents, setting
a new record for the 1917 crop to
date.
Comparing the recent record break
ing prices with those which obtained
In July last year shows graphically
how much better prices are today
than in July, 1916. The figures for
July last year ran as follows:
July 6, 6.27; July 10, $40; July 1s,
6.145; July 10. 6.27; July 81, 633,
July u, 6.27; July %, 6.145; July
81, 6.27.
In other words, the quotation on
Wednesday Of this week, 6.5S5, or
$131.70 q ton, In .1S5 Of a cent, or
1910 ton. above the highest price
obtained In July Of last year, which
was $40 on July 10. 1916.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-12-18
CONGRESSMAN LONERCANS BILL TO INCLUDE SLACKERS FROM
 ARMIES OF ALIEN COUNTRIES

progressing with the great Powers, the smaller belligerents have, in many instances, indicated a desire to sis.n immediately an agreement which, in principle, followed the lines of the or iginal American proposal.
 Considerable attention has been paid to obtaining. as soon as possible uniform agreements with the various belAgerents in as much as the ad- ministration of such agreements in the United States. would be greatly facil- itated thereby. The difficulty of en- forcing our own Draft Act through local exemption boards has shown the difficulties of enforcing in the United States different kind of agreement with each of the co-belligerents, now fourteen in number. It is necessary therefore, in the interest of good ad- n'fnistration and to facilitate their ex- ecution, that the agreements with the oelligerents be as nearly alike, at least in principle, as possible
 Lonergan has impressed on the minds of State Department officials the fact that correction of the in- equalities of the Draft Act insofar as the alien stacker problem affects Con- necticut is the most important prob lem of the government in Connecti- cut today
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-12-18

were in their seats until the hour for voting approached. It was evident no converts could be made by oratory and that all had made up their minds in advance. The galleries were filled to capacity.
 The old doctrine of states rights loomed up big as text for the dis cussion. A committee amendment was adopted giving the Federal gov ernment and the states concurrent Jurisdiction in enforcing the new con- dition of affairs when created. This doubtless satisfied the conscience of many a hidebound States Rights man, and it's insertion paved the way to success.
 Although nationwide interest cen- tired in the House, there was little of excitement or display. No banners were flung to the wall and badges were not worn. The scene was calm and dispassionate. Contrary to expec- tations and precedent, men and not women predominated in all the gall leries, and there was an absence of color that usually is feature on such occasions.
 States to Have Concurrent Power.
 The debate ran from 11:30 a. m until 4:5S D. .m., and o'clock had been set to begin voting on the reso. lution and all amendments.
