SEE RELIEF IN
SUGAR MARKET
Tri-Cities Caught in the Hoarding
Of Invisible7 Supplies, Re-
tailers Say.

Material change in the sugar sit
nation early next month forecast
in relief of tension during the last
two weeks and international agree
ment whereby English export re-
finements, scheduled for the next
two months, will be extended over
the next four, were late develop
ments in the sugar shortage, re-
ported in trade papers this week.
The tri-cities, evidently, are
caught in the boarding of ''invis-
ible" supplies, which retailers say
accounts in a great measure for the
present shortage. Shipping Difficult
ties. largely due to unsettled labor
conditions at the ports, have con-
tributed to the tension and the end
of the beet-sugar season has turn
ed attention in a great measure to
import shipments.
The Federal Reporter. trade
journal, discussing the situation,
this month said: beginning next
week refiners should be able to OPP
crate at great increased capacity
and there should be free deliveries
during September. If anything we
should say that the situation is not
quite so acute and there is POSSIBLE
ity that there is less tention than
two or three weeks ago.
"Unquestionably the great many
people during the last three months
have bought more sugar than they
required for immediate needs and
invisible supplies must have been
steadily on the increase. Sooner or
later this will show up. There are
spots here and there where there
are not sufficient stocks to cover
actual immediate wants but this is
not so, generally speaking, and with
the increased production and freer
shipments next month we think
Their will be material change in the
domestic situation by October. The
prices are of course unchanged.
There is nothing new in the ex-
port situation and arrangements
are being made with the British
Royal Commission to defer their
shipments so that on the balance of
their raw sugar that they are en-
titled to have refined in this coun-
try, delivery will be scattered over
the next four instead of the next
two months, as originally desired

CROPS BETTER
THAN EARLY IN SEASON

HUNTINGDON, Tenn, Sept. s.. (Spl.)
Corn prospects in Carroll are more
promising than earlier in the season,
is boiling fine, and there Is a
better outlook than last year. With
the recent good rains late corn Is grow
ing off fine and If frost Is not too
early the yield will be pretty good,
In fact some Of the farmers say we
will have q very good corn crop.
Cotton is boiling all right and the
crop looks healthy and promising. 1t
Is claimed by some that the crop will
be better than last year, but the acre
age, Of course, is shorter. The time
frost comes will have much to do with
the yield.
Farmers are still harvesting hay and
housing all the feedstuff possible, pre-
to care for their stock through
the winter with rs little grain outlay
as can well be done.
