NO RELIEF FOR
 PRESENT SUGAR
 SHORTAGE SEEN
EXPERT OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DECLARES PRE- J. ENT CONDITIONS OF SUIEr-t MARKET WILL PROBABLY BE- COME WORSE SOON.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-R)-Ap- bearing before the senate agricultural committee today, Dr. Alonzo Taylor of the department of agriculture, de- clared that there is no relief to be seen from the present shortage of sugar on the. American market. In fact, he asserted, it is extremely probable that the conditions now existing will not only not improve but will grow worse before another crop is available.
 The doctor presents figures com piled by the statistical branch of the department of agriculture, showing that the shortage has been caused mainly by increased consumption at home. The increase of the present year over that of last year now amounts to eighteen per cent accord ing to the figures presented. This increase has been brot about by the increased manufacture of candy and soft drinks.
 The senate agricultural committee is now considering the enactment oi legislation by which the sugar i'm ports may be increased. It has been suggested to them that the govern ment make arrangements for the pur- chase of the entire Cuban crop. Un- der the circumstances, it is believed that a restriction may be placed or the unlimited use of sugar in order to bring relief.
