week shipments were 9.64S,000 bushels,

Corn.-Prices in this market lost
ground yesterday, closing figures show
ing losses for the day of 2 to 4ls cents.
The opening was irregularly lower on
indications of enlarged receipts and the
posting of declining prices for hogs.
Trading became dull. Later, those who
had sold at higher figures in the expec-
tatlon of lower prices came into the
market as buyers. This brought about
forward movement which carried
prices somewhat above the previous
closing. Then reaction set in, and
continued until the end of the session.
Traders who look for lower prices en-
phasized the statement of Mr.. Hoover
that grain supplies are above the guam
titles needed.

SHORTAGE OF
SUGAR ACUTE
President Wilson Revives
Wartime Power Over
Nations Food Supply
ATTY.-GEN PALMER
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
Wholesale Price of Sugar Is
Fixed at II Cents, Re-
tail IA Cents

Washington, D. c., Nov. PIN an
effort to meet the situation resulting
from the present acute shortage of sug-
ar, President Wilson yesterday revived
the wartime power of the federal gov
eminent over the nations food supply.
In a proclamation, the president
transferred to Attorney General Palm
err the broad authority exercised by
Food Administrator Hoover during the
war. While it is Mr.. Palmer's present
intention to exercise this authority
only so far as sugar is concerned, he
is prepared to use it to meet any sim
liar situation affecting other food sup
plies which may arise.
Among the first acts of the depart
ment of Justice it is understood will
be the establishment of a price of IL
cents pound wholesale for all sugar
except the Louisiana crop, the price Of
which already has been fixed at IL
cents. This increase of price was said
to be necessary to prevent a famine
during the early part of next year,
Sharp curtailment of sugar consump-
tion by candy and soft drink manufac-
turers also will be ordered as officials
declare the present shortage is due in
measure to the increased consump-
ton of candy and soft drinks which
has followed the enforcement of prohi-
bition. Details as to this curtailment
remain to be worked out.
While the margin between the whole
sale and the retail price of sugar has
not yet been determined, officials are
known to have tentatively considered
l.54 cents, making the retail price APP
proximately IA cents pound, This,
however, is subject to change, depend
ing upon variety of conditions
Officials freely admit that next
month will see the supply of sugar in
America warehouses practically ex-
hausted The American crop ordinarily
is about one million tons, while the an
nual consumption averages approx
mately 100000 tons. For the rea-
son that European dealers are rapidly
buying up the Cuban crop, officials
said it would be necessary for Amer
lean representatives to act quickly if
that source of supply was not to be cut
off entirely.
