SUGAR likely To COST
CENT more A POUND
Equalization Board, Action to
Minimize inequalities Of Prices
Of Old and New Crops.

Sugar is likely to cost the con-
sumer one cent more a pound in the
near future. according to = statement
made by the United States Food Ad-
ministration in announcing that the
sugar equalization board. in order to
minimize inequalities between prices
of the old and new crops. will pur-
chase all sugar at the old price and
resell to the holders at the new price.
Neither the exact date on which
the new price will become effective
nor what the new price will be has
been determined. The price difficulty
which this action is designed to meet
resulted from the overlapping of
Cuban sugar and domestic sugar in
the market The food administration
has agreed with domestic producers
that an increase Of price was justified
on the new crop.

j. S. TO GET SUPPLIES
FROM SPAIN FOR ARMY
Negotiations Proceeding for Com
mercial Loan as Means Of
Establishing Credit.

MADRID. August 25.-El Liberal
today announced that negotiations
were proceeding for a commercial loan
between Spain and the United States.
Spain" the newspaper declared. sis
opening a credit of 3oo.o00,o00 or
500. .o0o,00o pesetas, the United States
giving as a guarantee the signatures
of American firms exporting cotton to
Spain. With this credit the United
States will be able to purchase in
Spain some of the products necessary
for its army in France without the
necessity of changing dollars into
pesetas and thus avoiding the reduc-
ton in exchange.
Ambassador willard and other
American officials have had several in
terviews with the members of the
Spanish government and it is believed
that the basis of an agreement has
been reached. The interest payable
on the loan has been the subject of
discussion. the United States object
ing to pay per cent America offers
to pay the balance remaining of the
loan in Mexican gold on the day Of
liquidation"

Have Been in Progress Some Time.

Negotiations between the United
States and Spain for the extension Of
commercial credits to the former. as
reported in a Madrid dispatch quot
ing FL Liberal, have been in progress
for more than two months. and Of
ficfals here have been expecting for
some time the receipt of news that
the extension had been arranged.
The negotiations. it is understood.
were carried on with Spanish bank
1ers, who will make the extension. al
though it was necessary to obtain for
the bankers the support of the gov
ernment. The Spanish government. it
is held here. is scarcely in financial
position at the present time, with
much Of its trade cut OF and through
depredations upon its ocean tonnage
by German submarines, to make a
credit extension on its own account.
The primary purpose Of the credits
will be to give the United States pur-
chasing power in Spain. The Ameri-
can government has been endeavoring
dealers. especially from dealers in
foodstuffs. This has been difficult
through the low value Of the American
dollar in Spain.
Evening star., 1918-08-26
Effect Of Extension Explained.

The credit extension, as pointed out
in the Madrid dispatch, will eliminate
the exchange of dollars for pesetas
and accordingly facilitate the purchase
of supplies. It will also be Of great
value to Spanish merchants and Ameri-
can importers. who have been greatly
inconvenienced by the necessities Of
exchange. The credit extension,
amounting as it does to only about
SIS. .000, 900, will afford some relief,
even though hardly large enough to
supply the possible needs Of the
United States.
The negotiations have been con-
Quoted largely through Oscar T. Cros-
by. assistant secretary Of the Treasury
and president Of the Inter-Allied Coun-
Gil of Finances and Purchases. The
matter is known to have been dis
cussed at meetings Of the council in
Paris.

milk PRICES TOGOON
FAIR PRICE LIST SOON
Dealers Object to Proposed Zone
System and Give Version Of
High Prices.

Milk prices win soon be quoted on
the official weekly fair price list pub
lished by the District food admins
tration. Positive assurance Of this was
given today by the local food ad-
ministrator.
Whether or not this action on the
part Of the local administration will
mean that the housekeepers in Wash
ington will be able to buy milk at
prices lower than the prevailing high
prices is not made known by the ad-
ministrator. However. it is intimated
that the quotation will be two or three
cents cheaper than the 16-cent price
now being charged by some of the
milk dealers.
Dealers Oppose Zone SYSTEM
Tho local administrator has practical
ly given up hope Of inaugurating q
plan which will meet with the. ap-
proval Of all the milk dealers to facili-
tate deliveries and better other fea-
lures Of the industry which dealer2
now say are largely responsible for
| seA0 AASh RhASSos oSSCIa1 conferences
have been held at the food administra-
tion during the past two weeks, which
were attended by milk dealers. Many
Of them disapproved of the plan to
establish . zone system of delivery.
Others objected to the adjustment Of
the house.to-house delivery by de-
livertng milk only to stores, thereby
requiring householders to obtain their
supply rs they now do in the case of
bread. The latter plan the milk men
contended would not be sanitary and
would work hardship upon the
housewife.
The milkmen opposed the coming
plan because they did not care to re-
linQuish their rights to deliver Gus
toners on any street in any section Of
the city. regardless of the length of
the haul. They pointed out that long
hauls with q. few stops serve as q
means OF allowing their deliverymen
to rest" on the trip. BY these rests"
the de1iverymen can put in a better
days work, the dealers claim.
High Prices Are Explained.

blaming the high price Of milk on the

Banks viii Make Assess
ments on Accounts Left
Below 500.

Fifty cents per month viii from
April 1 be charged by local banks
against all checking accounts, the
balance of which is less than 800 at
any time during the month, accord
ing to resolution adopted by the
Bankers Association Of the District
last night at meeting in the chapter
rooms.
1t is the sense of the association.
the resolution declares, that de-
positors whose checking accounts
show that they are being carried by
banks and trust companies as a mat
ter of convenience and at a loss TO
the banks should be required to pay
for the service rendered"
The resolution was adopted after
warm debate throughout the evening.
1t was submitted by a special COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting
and was a substitute for resolution
originally introduced to make a
charge Of Is cents and prescribe a
minimum of $50 opening deposit for
checking accounts.
The committee submitting the resolu-
ton consisted of H. H. Mckee, Ma
tional Capital Bank; S. ]. Henry.
Munsey Trust Company. and B. A.
Bowles, Potomac Savings Bank.
Many of the bankers present gave
statistical analysis of the checking ac-
counts Of their institutions, showing a
great number Of accounts with bal
ances under 800. These figures ranged
as high as 40 per cent in some banks.
II was estimated that there are be-
tween 5000 and 5000 checking ac-
counts in the citV the balance of
which are below 500
A minimum Of 500 is required. bank
ers said. to show profit on an account.
Resolutions placing the association
on record as being in favor Of a 50
cent charge against all overdrawn ac-
counts and inviting trust companies to
become members OF the association
were laid on the table.
