SUGAR FAMINE GRIPS NEW YORK;
 OUTLOOK IS BAD

New York. Dec 1. - The sugar shortage in New York is more acute than ever before, it developed last week.
 Refners, manufacturers, wholesal- CTS and retailers agreed that, through q. combination of disappointments and nisfortunes, the city is virtually in the grip of a sugar famine. Officials of the United States Sugar Equaliza- ton Board declared that only with the aid of the consumer in conseryat ton could the shortage be relieved.
 Henry F. Costelo. chairman of the raw sugar division of the Sugar Elualiza ton Board, said the situation would become worse if househoIders made a mad scramble to corner the small supply now available.
 An official of one of the largest re- ffnins companies said that between 600 and TOO manufacturers and re- tailers besiege his firm daily with pleas for sugar. He said he had heard every form of hard luck story. but could do nothing. Becausa of the shortage of raw sugar, he said, his firm had been forced to close down Friday, remaining idle until today
 He said that thousands of plants in the Eastern section using sugar In their manufactures will be forced to close down this week unless thev are supplied

Despite the fact that immediate prospects are necessarily more or less uncertain, the readjustment in prices has rendered not Q few solid issues at tractive to buyers and investment purchasing has been considerably in evidence of late. Buying which in wolves the use of borrowed funds should, however, be we'll protected, in view of the inevitably unsettled conditions in many lines of shares. Despite the discOura gem ent which have presented themselves in inter- national matters and, notwithstand- Ing the delays in the adjustment of domestic industrial conditions, pros perity continues at full tide through out the country. The United States is the chief if not the only source to which foreign countries must turn for assistance in the reconstruction pro- cess, a fact fully attested by authori- tative utterances both of English and Americsn hnanciers during the re- cent past. Continued activity of bus mess and the keying up of produc- ton to the highest point with the re-, sultant effects upon wages and prices would seem to be the order Of the day for some time to come.

OH0(jRS AWEEk FOR WORK ENOUGH,
 SOAP KING SAYS
Lord LeverhuIu2e Here Tells of Success Of Labor Fix
 periments in England.

Lord LeverhU1me, Great Britain's industrial leader. arrived in this country fast week.
 Lord Jeverhulrne, who is founder and Chairman of Lever Bros, Ltd, IS known the world over as a progress sive thinker on industrial and labor problems. He started business in his fathers grocery store in 1867 and twenty years afterward began a soap manufacturing. His firm has a capi- tai Of $5o0,0O0,0 900 and its shares are distributed among 86,000 persons.
 Port Sunlight is the home of the Lever business in England, and 1t has 462 acres, of which 239 are allotted to the works and 223 to the village. Tha bethan architecture, with gardens. The village represents an outlay Of $3,25O,000.
 At the last meeting of Lever Bros. he announced the adoption of plans for a six-hour workday, with two shifts of men, one to work from A. M. to l P. NJ. In order that the afternoon workers may have the Sat urday afternoons off they work seven hours and tweive minutes a day for five days, making up their thirty-siX- hour week. He also arranged to have the workers wages credited to their accounts in a bank of their seIec- ton.

One silver dollar coinage rate is SIPS plus and the rate for our sub sidary coins $1.38 plus, the latter be- ing lighter proportionately than the dollar piece. The silver dollar was originally intended to be a standard coin, that is to say, it's bullion value and money value were intended to be identical, but the subsidiary coins were Intended to be merely token coins, and purpOsely over-valued in order that they might not be taken out of the country or melted. They are of limited tender value and re deeraabIe a the Treasury in full legal tender money.
 With silver bullion in the public market lowering about the coinage rate for dollars, with a . possibility that Jhe price may even go above the subsidiary rate, the situation is very interesting. There is no law against melting 0s our coins, and if the mar ket value of bullion should remain for some time above the coinage rate the coins undoubtedly would be melted
 On November l, 1919, the Treasury estimated that the total stock of silver dollars in the country was S3O8.145,- 900, of which $S1, ,SS5, 900 were out side the Treasury, Sl56.135,714 were y silver certificates outstanding, and $6S.it5,90 were in the general Treas ury cash. The pieces which have al ways been in the Treasury against cer- tiicates are full weight, but those which have been in circulation are III some degree abraded, and would not yield full value if melted. The silver certificates in circulation are mainly in small denominations, and could not be gathered up very rapidly, al though such a movement would be accelerated f a premium was offered for them.
 Whether silver will go higher or not depends mainly upon the general trade situation between the rest Of the world and Asia, and particularly upon the prices of exports from China, India and the other countries using silver as money.
 In 1914 the exports and imports of China nearly balanced, the for ner aggregating S292 225. .000 and the latter $296,5T6,0 ,000. In 1917 the ex- ports were $7S9, 900 against i'm ports of $512, ,931 900, and in 1918 the exports were $9T8,4O0,000 against imports Of $831, ,0G0, 900.
 In 1915 the normal movement of silver into India was interrupted by the German raiders in the Indian Ocean and the submarines in the Mediterranean and about the British Isles. The wants of India were large ly supplied from 1914 to 1917 from stocks in China, and even in 1918 the shipments from China continued These shipments reduced the stocks in China below normal and partially explain the extraordinary demands of China this year.

cate the six-hour work day in all in dustries, but looks upon it as an in strument for bringing about in creased production by the employ ment of more capital and machinery cheapening the cost of products, in- creased leisure and resultant in creased power of consumption.
 The six-hour day does not mean a loafer's paradise he said recently Its effect on the cost Of continuous running Of machinery is where we gain''

rates for money would be practically certain for a good while to come.
 Industry and Business.
 Recent business and industrial de- Velopments have been largely Of negative description. It would seem likely that should negotiations be- tween the miners and the coal opera tors prove intellectual some form of government intervention might be necessary In order to relieve the coal shortage which Is so seriously in- terfe@ing with production In Middle Western plants and elsewhere. Pend ing the definite decision as to a policy on this matter the uncertainty pro duces but little influence or market conditions because of the fact that most of the elements in the problem have been thoroughly discounted in advance. Important Tn its effect upon railroads and their prospects has been the renewed wage advance policy of the administration. The fact that such great advances could be an nounced with little more than 90 days Of the time the roads are to return to their owners has been taken by some as an unfavorahle indication, because Of the belief that the action would correspondtngly impair the income producing power of the roads. The more far-sighted view, however, re- 5ards this step as another pledge on the part of the government to pro- tect the financial condition of the lines since on no other, basis could it be supposed to be warranted in doing what 1t has thus undertaken only about a month before tn roads pass out of it's hands. Undoubtedly the month of December will he of first class importance in many ways af- fecting the market since 1t should see some definite adjustment of the coal situation as well as at least a tenta- tive settlement Of the financial pro- blens of the road. Confidently ex- pecting such an outcome, busin ess throughout the country has continued unexpectedly active.
 REarket Developments.
 Market dovelopmen ents have been, for he most part discouragtng. with irreg- ularity and lower prices for many of the leading industrial and railroad issues. Bonds also showed a lower tendency owing partly to selling gov ernnent issues by financial institu- tons and partly to the advancing tendency of interest dates Some in- vestment buying in the more attract i've issues has been an interesting fea- ture of the weeks history Copper shares have showed an inclination to touch lower levels, partly owing to stagnant trade demands and poor earnings statements which have been made public by certain of the com panies. Shrewd buyers are looking with particular interest to the rail way shares as a probable feature of the market during the coming weeks. The return of the railroads to their owners will bring about, 1t Is likely, a consj derable encouragement of val ues; stronger lines after the discon- tinuance of government control tend ing to reach a higher level, while the weaker roads may shrink still further. Government protection of railroads is not likely to be of such a nature as to stabilize the returns of the strong and weak lines alike.
