MORE SUGAR.

People are not going to forget right away the shortage which has prevail ed in regard to sugar, but t is boInG to be of interest when the War trade board makes the announcement that the export restrictions on that com modity will be lifted tn2 -irst of Feb lnary.
 The sugar shortage and the result ing high price, was due not to a failure cf crops, bus to the fa>C that sec.ions of the world upon which great depend = ence had been placed before the war were cut off from supplying the mar ket. It was the case with sugar as with many other things. and it be- came necessary for the supply uron which this country depended to be ap- portionod among much greater mum Der
 The removal of the restrictions does not mean that all the pre-Nvar sources of supply are open for Fusiness. for | Germany is not as vet able to furnish what it used to, but Cuba it is oX- pected will produce ha!f as much again sugar as it did five years ago the cane and beet fields in this com- try are ready with larger production and remote sections which export su. gar can have their supply transport. cd because of the casing up in the de. mand on vessels.
 Thus with conditions beginning tC move back toward normal it is quit
 natural that there should be a lifting of the bars in regard to tue evporta tto1 of sugar from this aoIn'ry. W, apparently have available more thai

Situation Grows Serious to Farmers
and Railroads.

:. That the fertilizer mvenent has
been slow this year and that .conses-
ton of traffic is probable unless farm
ers put in their orders at once, is the
burden of statement issued yester-
day by Regional Railroad Director
Winchell. which is as follows:
please let me say a word to our
farmer patrons.
'@The normal yearly movement of
fertilizers in this region runs from
three million to five million tons: This
means, in round figures, 100000 ear
loads to be handled.
Ordinarily most Of this Very large
item Of traffic is thrown on the rail-
roads in the months of January Eeb-
ruary and March. Great. activit::' on
their part is necessary to handle the
same well.
by February 10 at least 40 per
cent of the whole fertilizer> tonnage
has usually been shipped, but this
year. less than 5 per cent has NOV
ed so far; that is to say: the move
.ment UP to date is about $4,000 cars
short Of what it should have been.
TT is easy for you to see what
fear.
"a flood of business at the last mo-
rnent cannot be moved to the salts
faction of our patrons and complaints
viii surely follow. We are anxious
to -avod complaints, but it is obvious
that we cannot move all Of this ton
mage at one time. In order to do the
job right it is necessary that it be
well distributed throughout the whole
three months
During the past -four or FIVE
weeks ear conditions and weather
have been favorable, but tho fer
tilizers have not moved freely and
Immediate activity is now necessary
to avoid a condition which will be
serious alike to the farmers and the
railroads.

can. and HeAin. Alabama. Democrat.
If the war trade boards rulings or
trade with neutrals were continued
another three. months sid Reni-oSa'1

would have a lead which American
firms could never overtake. Repre-
sentative Heflin asked especially that

reiterated his demand for an lnvcs-i-
CATION Of the New York cotton ex-
change
Under the rulings Of the war trade
board said Mr.. Wood, exporters of
Norway, Sweden, Holland or. other
European neutrals must obtain per-
nit before license could be gT.,nt-
ed.
Exporters find it impossible to
obtain such permits he continued,
because the Netherlands overseas
trust, which is dominated by British
influence, and officers see to it that
they are not given. England natural
ly does not want our manufacturers
to compete with hers. You cannot
blame England but you can blame
the administration which should have
seen to it long ago that the restric-
tons were removed"
Representative Hehin said cotton
producers are being forced to accept
an abnormally low price for their
cotton while the foreign demand was
greater than at any other time in
history Referring to the Caraway
resolution for investigation of the
New York exchange he declared
that nothing but conspiracy and
concerted action on the part of the
exchange could have driven the price
of cotton futures below the price c.
