50 MILLION POUNDSOF BEET
 SUGAR ARRIVE

New York, Dec 1.-The end of the local sugar stringency within q few days was predicted recently by F. Henry Costello, chairman of the raw sugar division of the Sugar Equaliza- ton Board. MT. Costellos predic- tton was made shortly after he had announced the arrival here from the West of 5O,0o0,000 pounds of beet sugar-enough to give more than T in the Eastern section. Substantial beet sugar receipts will follow soon, Mir. Costello said, until the new Cuban crop is available.
 George A. ZabrisEie, president of the board, said recently that more than 26,0oO tons would be received before the end of the year.
 Fifty million pounds are required for all needs in this city At least this amount is guaranteed after next week, according to refners and mem bers of the Sugar Equalization Board
 The price in 1920 will be about IS cents to the consumer, A. P. Williams, Of the subcommittee on wholesale groceries of the Fair Price Commit tee, said MT. Williams is a mem Der of the firm of R. c. Williams and Co., When his prediction was put up to Mir Costello, the latter declared he was inclined to agree with MT. Will Hams.
 Although MT. Costello Eaid that the Sugar Equalization Board goes out of existence on December 31. Federal Food Administrator Williams an
 
 would be retained over traffic and prices.
 MT. Williams received more than 100 complaints last week against gro cers, charging them with profiteering in sugar. Investigation revealed that the dealers were selling Java, Bra lillian or other costly sugar and ex- acting only Q fair profit
 Up to yesterday, dealers were re- ceivdng about per cent of their nor nal sugar supplies, they reported.
 The Sugar Equalization Board issued statement denying charges that huge supplies of sugar are being ex- ported while the domestic trade searves. The ststement points out that there were sS,5e0, ,o00 pounds ot sugar available here December l. which, coupled with 62,72o,oo0 due to arrive before the next crop, makes total of 161 .2So, ,oo1 pounds remaining of the 1919 Cuban crop. Of this total, 9S, ,66o, 600 pounds belongs to the Brit lsh government, being merely sent here to be refined. This sugar, ac- cording to the statement, was bought last year by Ghe British Royal Com mission, which did the purchasing for France and Italy, aa well as for the United Kingdom.
 Thare remains actually about 51- 620, ,09o pounds Of sugar available for domestic trade in New York and vi cinity until the new crop arrives, the statement says. In addition to this there are POO, 600 bags of beet sugar coming here, with some Brazilian sugar.

RELIEF FROM COAL SHORTAGE
 IS IN SIGHT
b-zero Temperatures Civ ing Way to Milder
 Weather.

Chicago, Dec. 11--Relief from the most serious coal shortage ever known today was in sight. No immediate relaxation of the rigid fuel conserva- tion measures was in prospect, but the return to the mines of the first of the approximately 400, ,0o0 bituminous coal miners. ending a forty days strike, and abatement, except in the eaSt and far northwest, of the severe weather of the past two days held hope for a rapid return to normal conditions.
 Thousands of empty coal cars today were, on sidings at the mines In read mess to be rushed to the most needy sections as soon as loads were avail able. Relief for some points, how ever, faced delay because Of almost unprecedented snowfall. In the plains states railroad traffic was badly dis rupted by snow drifts and in the Pa ciftc northwest, where nearly 40 hours of uninterrupted snowfall was record ed, conditions were worse.
 Throughout the central area the sub-zero temperatures that yesterday that In many places established sea- sonal records, today had given way to miider temperatures and tessened the sacrifice coal saving entailed. Denver led the upward trend of the mercury with 62 degree range from 12 below zero to 50 above. At other places the moderation was less marked.
 At Minneapolis, the thermometer rose from Is below to even zero; at Omaha, Neb., from 16 below to 6 above, and at Chicago from minus $ to plus 5, with relief from the unsea- sonable weather in all sections fore cast for by tomorrow night.

 ORDERS OF FUEL
 ADMINISTRATION

The Railroad Administration are to enforce the orders of the United States Fuel Administration according to statement issued by the Chamber of Commerce.
 The statement continues:
 'Interpretatio tions of the fuel regula- tions can come from no other source with any degree of fnality, and ef- forts will be made to secure the full est information regarding the regula- tions.
 Until interpretation can be made, 1t would appear that individuals should make their own interpretations bearing in mind that such interpreta- uons should be made in the light Of ehecttng the greatest possible fuel economies.
 The larger merchandising concerns throughout the city are planning rigid fuel conservation, and several have already announced that they will close off all lights promptly at o'clock.
 'tThe reading of the regulation in regard to so-called display light seems to be perfectly clear and abso- lutely prohibitive at all times. and is as follows:
 No ornamental lights. white way or other unnecessary street lights, outline lighting, electric signs or H. luminated biIlboards, show window. or show lights are to be operated This does not affect street lighting necessary for the safety of the pub lie"

AN UNLUCKY WHALE.

Speaking of the ticklish business of hunting submarines in the Decem- Der Worlds Work, Admiral Sims says;
 Loose mines bobbing in the water hinted at the peri1s that were con stantly threatening our forces. In the tense imagination of the look outs floating spars or other debris easily took the form of periscopes. Queer looking sailing vessels, at a distance, aroused suspicious that they might be submarines in dis guise A phosphorescent trail in the water was sometimes mistaken for the wake of a tornado. The cover of a hatchway floating on the surface, if seen at0a distance of few hundred yards looked much like he coming tower of a submarine while the back of an occasional whale gave a nfelike representation of a U-boat awash - in fact, so life like that on one occasion several of our submarine chasers on the English coast dropped depth charges on a whale and killed it."
