Republican political gossip, a re fix of the rebellion of Frank Ballard, hints at insurrection brewing in the City Hall machine.

and Foreign Owners May
Put 1t on Market Here

The quest Of the thousands Of pounds
Of sugar which have been offered for
sale by numerous brokers at eXorbitant
prices came to a successful end yester-
day. Arthur Williams, Federal Food
Administrator, announced that this
sugar had been in Brooklyn warehouses
while brokers passed the word along
it was for sale.
Mr.. Williams from time to time ques-
toned several links in this chain of
brokers, but none could tell him where
tie sugar was 1t was definitely estab-
lished yesterday, according to Mr. Will
liams, that S,960,000 pounds of Philip
pine sugar, held by Balfour, William
son & Co., of 43 Exchange Place, had
inspired the numerous offers.
This sugar, according to Mr.. Will
liams. was not disposed of to refner-
les before the shortage Sc, in be-
cause of the preference for Cuban
sugar. At the advent Of the short
age, Mr.. Williams said, this sugar was
still on hand. ready to be sold to re-
iireries for rs cents pound. Brokers,
seeing fat commissions, undertook to
fad customers.
Each broker added a quarter Of a
cent to the price as his profit, Mr.. Will
liams said, until by the time it was
offered to the food administrator by
a broker who didn't know to whom he
was talking the price was 1S4 cents
a pound.
Some of this sugar has already been
shipped overseas, the food admins
traitor declared, but fully half of it
has not left the domestic market, and
will be released to relieve the short
age. The food administrator said
other supplies were being located and
would be turned into the local mar
kets
According to last reports" Mr. Will
liams said yesterday, there were
about 1000 tons of sugar, raw and re-
fined, which began the rumble of un-
derground and paper reseling A
part of this sugar, 1000 tons, still on
hand is held on consignment by Bal
four, Williamson e. Co. A representa-

Imported From Canada
"Alnford, Lueder & Co., of this city,
had 1000 tons of refined sugar in the
same warehouse. This sugar, which
was imported from Canada, has been
sold to various New York Manufacture
ers The transaction has been care
fully reviewed by the Department Of
Justice and the present understanding
is that there is no cause for criticism.
"The sugar was the property of E.
R. Sherburne, of Boston. Mnford and
lueder, learning that additional sugar
was available in Canada, arranged for
the purchase of 1000 additional tons
TO be distributed at a fair price to New
