 ABLE ID RESUME

 Yet Relieved

New York, October 26.--Sugar refineries in the United States which were forced to shut down because of shortage of raw materials, will be enabled to resume on a reduced basis by the terms of an agreement reached at conference of the American refiners' committee here today This will be possible, it was announced, by an equitable apportionment among the refineries of the country of all raw sugar in stock or offered in the market. The agreement involves 100000 tons bought from the Louisiana planters last Wednes- day half of which will be distributed at north Atlantic ports.
 The agreement of the refiners. it was announced tonight, needs only the ap- proval of the international committee, headed by George M. Rolph. chief of the sugar division for the federal food ad- ministration. That the plan will be ap- proved is not doubted, it Is said.
