SCARCITY OF SUGAR
FOR NEW ENGLAND
Only rs Per Cent. of Normal
Supply Available.

BosToN, Oct. 2.-The available sup
ply of sugar for New England is about
20 per cent. below requirements and
consumers in this region will have to
limit their use or the product for at
least three months to quarters
of the amount generally consumed. John
H. Sherburne, chairman of the State
Commission on Necessaries of Life, said
tonight. He attributed the shortage to
increased demand for sugar for candy.
the deficiency in last years supply and
increased general consumption.
In an effort to meet conditions created
by the shortage Mr.. Sherburne said a
committee had been organized in the
sugar trade, the DUTY of which would be
to equalize allotments among whole
salers and supply men. He said sugar
cards would not he used unless 1t be-
came absolutely necessary.
The coal situation was not alarming

1t was certain there would be no reduc-
ton in price before next spring. The
commission advises every one to place
orders Immediately for the necessary
winter supply, so that dealers may know
lust what the needs will be.
With respect to prices of general COM
modities Mr.. Sherburne said the COM
mission had found that since September
g. when its first fair price list was Is
sued. pork products had dropped in
price about 10 per cent. beef per cent.
lamb 8 per cent. and general groceries
an average of 5 $40 per cent. He ex'

NOT TO CUT PRICES

Shipping Board Will Not Sell

man Payne Announces.
Special Despatch to Tar suS.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The price of
ships owned by the United States Ship
ping Board is not going down. Chair
man Payne of the board issued to day
formal statement designed to spike
persistent rumors that because the board
has so many vessels at its disposal prices
are to be cut to get rid Of them. Many
interests have opened negotiations with
the board apparently with the view of
purchasing and moved by the thought
that price reductions were only a matter
of time,
Chairman Payne's statement fellows {:
''There Is no change lin the price at
which vessels of the United States Ship
ping Board are being held and none is
contemplated. The wood ships are being
held at $50 per lightweight ton, the new
steel freighters at a price ranging from
1910 a deadweight ton for the smaller
type to 1925 per deadweight ton for the
larger vessels. No immediate sale of
passenger steamships is being contem-
plated"
1t is evident that big American steam
ship companies that have been consider
ing dickering for the purchase of some of
the big German passenger ships awarded
to this country will have to lease or
charter the vessels or get them under al
location for operation on account Of the

While wooden ships are for sale to all
corners. larger steel ships are to be held
for the American merchant marine. Eff
fort Is being made to dispose of the
