SUGAR SHORTAGE
DUE To FAILURE
To EC0N0M|zE
Consumers and Manufacturers
of Sweets Refuse to Follow
Recommendations of Food
Administration,

Washington, Oct. 20.--Blame for
the present shortage Of sugar north
of Savannah and east of Pittsburgh
on manufacturers Of sweets, by the
food administration.
In statement today the food ad-
ministration said that had it's recent
request for the curtailment of the use
Of sugar been needed, present cond-
tions would not exist 1t again
warned the people to economize until
new supplies are available.
The administration made this ex-
planation of its efforts to relieve the
shortage:
Statement by Hoover.
THE food administration some days
ago directed manufacturers and dis
tributors of sugar to cease sales to
confectioners, syrup and luxury man.
ufacturers until Cuban supplies are
available. BY this means the sugar
consumption of the area of plentiful
sugar south of Savannah and west of
Pittsburgh should be greatly reduced
and thus expedite the arrival of beet
sugar into the sparse area.
Purchase Of more sugar by house
holds than is needed from week to
week only adds difficulties to the dis
tributing agencies of the country,
which are cooperating Loyalty to
minimize the period and inten-
sIty of shortage. Reports today
show many retailers in many cities in
this section are doing their best to eff
feet Just distribution and hold prices
but are having much difficulty with
the boarding consumer.
Beet Sugar Coming.
The beet sugar factories in the
west with the products of California
Colorado Utah, Michigan and other
states are rapidly coming into action.
Food Administrator Hoover said, and
will be able soon to take care of the
sugar supply west of Pittsburgh, but
the shortage is expected to continue
ncrth of Savannah aud east of Pitts
burgh until December. when the
Louisiana. Mississippi and Cuban sup
plies will become available. Beet su.
gar will be sent into the east but the
extent to which it will help will depend
largely on economies western people
observe.

One remarkable feature of the raid

back, wnen the bomb dropped. A
lew minutes later the neighbor found
the mother UNCONSCIOUS IN the street,
her home wrecked ana her chldren
buried IN the debris. The woman re-
gained consciousness long enough to
ask for her cnlluren.
Some Remarkable Escapes.
Anotner remarkaDle case was that

tish market where several persons
killed She was pinned there toI
hours, bul escaped serious INJURY.
A little boy was found buried un-
harmed under a table IN wrecked

In suburb of London shortly be-
fore IL o'clock last night five or SIX
bombs were dropped IN close proxim-
ity, but no damage done.
No Complete Casualty List.
An aerial torpedo fell within the
London area. Persons in the neigh
borhood of the des,I Dyed houses say
that the residents were in thsir homes
at the time, party was being held
at one of these houses, and friends
this morning were vafnly seeking
those who had been present. AS yet

Cotton

The cotton market was unsettled,
closing quotations being 10 points
lower 20 , points higher. After selling
az 1880 at the opening. May rallied 20
III and closed AZ 1855.
The opening was steady, a. a decline
of l 20 - points, with the active
months selliig 20 IS points lower
on or right after the call. This was
the result OF liquidation brought about
by the news from Russia and the pos
sibility that the business IN the coun-
try m ght be tied up by the railroad
troubles. Liverpool bought on The de-
cline, however. while private cables re-
ported an optimistic view in the mar
ket there as 20 the effects OF the Rus
sian revolution on the Allied cause. II
seemed, too, that more optimistic
view of the railroad situation de-
veloped after the opening, and the
market rallied during the middle Of
the day. The old crop months recoy-
cred all but or 4 points Of the early
loss and the new crop sold about D
points net higher. but this bulge
brought out renewed liquidation. and
prices closed a few points of from the
best.
Some traders found It difficult 20 be-
lieve that any such drastic change IN
the government OF Russia could occur
without designating affairs generally,
with an unfavorable effect upon mil
itary operations. Press advices, how
ever. read very encouragingly, and, on
the whole. local operators were in
clined to regulate their view of Euro
pcan affairs by the action Of the Eng
lish market. Private cables indicated
that there had been some liquidation
by nervous longs there during the
early trading. but the close there was
steady. British Board of Trade re-
turns for the month of February
showed a sharp falling off in exports
of both yarns and cloths as compared
with the previous month last year
Owing TO recent Custom House regu-
lations, the trade is very uncertain as
10 whether all exports Of cotton arc
reported daily. So far as officially re-
ported yesterday, exports for the day
were 1912 bales, making 34,0l5 for
the week, against l05,772 last year.

Brazil Interested in
Cattle and Hog Raisin g

Brazil has been a cattle country, al
though not meat exporting one, since
early Colonial times. For the last year
the new meat export business has re-
ceived the special attention Of Brazil
ian officials, business men and econo-
mists: the field has been studied by
American meat packers. and the Brazil
ian National Society Of Agriculture is
preparing 20 open cattle congress
and fair at Rio de Janeiro in May, 1917.
Resides an exhibition of specimens of
the courtrys beef products, addresses
and debates on the ways and means OF
increasing the already large resources
of the republic in both herds and past
ure are expected.
Brazil to-day offers field rich in
possibilities for the cattle industry.
The only existing census Of the herds
in the republic sets their total at 3d.
10000. but the number is undoubtedly
larger than that.
With the interest that has become
general in Brazil in the matter Of stock
raising. the State of Rio de Janeiro
has recently passed certain laws tend
ing 10 favor the interests OF breeders
of hogs for slaughter.
The state tax Of II reis per klo
upon all lard leaving the state has been
reduced by one-half. The decree es-
tablishiuQ this states that ~ has be-
COMO needful 20 encourage As much as
possible all those interested IN improv-
inc the hog raising industry OF inc
country and in producing lard and
otLer pork products by modern
methods such as are in use m otner
countries. Il further states that the
recent beginnings Of a profitable beei-
eyporting business in Brazil should not
make the farmers forget mat there is
eouallv great profit 70 be obtained
from the raising Of hogs, and u prom
ises a continuance OF the policy o. low
erine gradually all the export duties
mon the products Of agriculture and
ranehing. Ii also describes the proiits
which accrue yearly 10 such countries
ma the United States and Denmark
from hog raising. and suggests the pos,
sibilit.es OF developing not only good
industry in lard, but in refrigerated
pork. bacon, hams. sausageS' etc.
within the State OF Rio de Janeiro.

Philadelphia, March l6-Trade in
the local wool market during the last
week has been somewhat quiet among
some Of the dealers, while others re-

Metal Markets

The copper market yesterday awaited
the outcome of the controversy between
the railroads and the brotherhoods.
There was no disposition to change
prices. Spot metal has been practl-
cally eliminated from the market and
the large sellers and producers are
holding to their prices OF 81 cents a
mound for third quarter delivery, 32la
to 80 cents for July and 30l4 10 301a
cents for last quarter business. Big
sellers professed to have had informa-
ton that something important was
brewing in Russia and as result de-
cided to refrain from booking Russian
orders pending further Developments.
Prices current for a rev Of the prin-
cpal metals and metal products, COM
pared with those prevailing at the cor
responding time OF last year, follow;
