NEW YoR1x. SUGAR MARKET.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
sugar market was quiet today and
no business was reported by the
board. Prices were unchanged at
1928 for centrifugal to the refiner. New
crops were also quiet. and. while no
sales were reported. there seemed TO
be a little more inquiry by both re-
finers and operators, and it Is gener-
ally expected that there will be q
more active business next week.
Refined deliveries during the last
few days were of fair proportion
and prices were unchanged at SC for
fne granulated.

The low value of the mark has had
q ruinous effect on Germany's import
business. Compared with the imports
of the last peace year, the present inn
portatton Of taw materials is. in
quantity. still very small; in July last
it had not yet reached 20 per cent OF
the amounts of July. 1913. These i'm
ports were. however, not balanced by
corresponding exports.
There seem to be but two ways out
Of the serious crisis-the increase Of
production and the Quieting OF the
social unrest.
In this connection, it Ia interesting
to note that Germany is almost free
from strikes, is settling down to
steady work. and is beginning to
tackle the reconstruction problem in
all earnestness. Radicalism is reced-
ing. lack Of employment ts decreasing
and the savings bank deposits in
creasinE. Attempted strikes can. no
longer count on any popular sympa-
thy or support in Germany The peo.
pie demand quiet and order and seem
in a fair way to get it,
The willingness of the German peo-
pie to work constitutes their most
valuable asset and holds the great
est promise for their economic fu-
ture. There IL the old axiom. Work

Income Tax Matters.

There is another little income tax
ruling that may not have been heard
of-just a little regulation relating to
coupons. When the sliding scale of
income taxes was on the upturn the
Treasury Department ruled that in

year in which they were paid. Now

Loss in Exchange Speculation.

All over the country men. and some
women. have been speculating in
foreign exchange pounds, marks,
kroner. lire and francs. They have
been buying the bills on the theory
that these na counties would make fapid

the only money maker on the mis-
Bankers have warned against this
speculation. although they have also
shown the advantages for those on
this side desiring to send drafts to
friends abroad, or to make purchases
in the countries named.
The Railroad Situation.
Henry ciews has this to say on
this topic:
During the past week the appear
ance Of a new form of the bill known
as the Esch measure indicates the
probability that the Cummins bill.
heretofore considered the leading
railroad proposal before the country.
may be superseded. Both measures
are long and complex and involve
many highly technical questions.
Either one would give the railroad
investor a much better assurance of
protection than he could have with
out them, and they have accordingly
been favorably received by owners
of securities. Neither measure would
give the investor more than very
moderate amount of return, and ef-
fort will undoubtedly be made to
revise whichever of the two emergeS
from the legislative discussion, . in
such a way as to give to the In
t>yS b
would get under the investment sec
tions of the legislation as announced.
The difiiculty In the problem does
not lie in the question OF amending
these measures, but in the fact that
Congress must act very hastily If II
spect to them. Under the present
plan the roads are to be returned to
their owners not later than the end
of the present calendar year, and
this means that such action as is tc
be taken must become law before that
time.
The more favorable method OF
treating the situation appears to be
found in the selection OF essentia
features and the adoption of bill
relating to them. leaving questions OF
rates and general reorganization fol
course will be the one to be pursued
and that eventually a settlement will
be erected which will cover the
broadest issues in the transportation
question but which will be worked
out more at leisure.
Meantime. railroad shares have
held their own well in the disturbed
market Of the week and many believe
that both they and sound railroad
bonds will hnd a decidedly highei
level Of values. Confidence that Con
rress will act equitably on the rail-
road question is strong.

No Credits Based on Savings.

To save ourselves from credit infia-
tion we must give no credits based
upon our own savings, but go ahead
with this thing we must. I am quite

market, but there are ways of man
aging that. They can be absorbed by
some central organization and other
paper issued and sold in their place
paper that will be American and not
German.
This presents a big problem In sales
manship. I hope we shall not delay
very long in solving it. Failure to
realize the consequences of our in
activity does not palliate the inhu-
manity of 1t. Let us stop worrying
about German competition, let us not
be shortsighted; let US not reason SUI
perdctally in these matters; let it be
our chief concern now to do what Is
SO clearly required Of us. Let us do
right: and the future-despite German
competition, German tricks, German
nationalism in business, German COM
mercial subsidies and all the rest
will work itself out. What the world
faces now is worse than anything the

cial Germany conceivable could pos
sibly accomplish against US.

The Howard Bulldogs will close when they take on the strong Spring Hill eleven in Mobile. The local team left for Mobile yesterday morning, in perfect condition, leaving student body fully confident that their team will come off the vio jor in today's bat tie.
 Coach Dillon took along bunch of his scrubs to take the places of the regulars if need be- The Spring Hill team Is heavy and fast and Coach Dil- lion is taking no chances on his var sity players being able to last whole game against the heavy Mobile team.
 The local team has been practlclng hard for the game the last week or so and will enter the game today in very good condition. Many players have been showing up well in this practice among them Lambert. This 190-pound guard is fast and shifty, and it IS thought that Coach Dillion will give him chance in t,days game. He will probably start against SprinS Hill.
 Joyce Levvy new player, has been showing up exceptionally well as halfback and Coach Dillon will prob ably start him at left half. Levvy is fast and is a good broken field run ner.
 Spring Hill has vn exceptional lly strong team this year and has made a good showing against all teams that she has met. Donahue, quarterback. )S a good player, both defensively ana offensively. Hastings. fullback, has nowerful buck in his runs. and Mobile fans are banking their rolls on him to lina tn DieceS
 The following Is the record of Sprlns Hill against the strongest teams she has met this season:
 Spring Hill. Miss. A. x MS' lz Spring Hill.... Tulane ....''' 1a 1a Snring Hill. 3 B'ham- Southern 0
 From the above results it can be seen that Spring Hill has an excep- tionally strong eleven and is certain to give the locals a hard scrap today.

HARD TACKLERS

The Maroons demonstrated in their previous appearance here that they know football from the ground up. No harder tackling has ever been seen at Redwood than that staged by Coach Chadwick team. Not only that. but in throwing forward passes the Ma rooms can give any of them cards and spades. Russell at quarter throws the pigskin like a veteran catcher does the horseside, and if. the Aggie ends had only succeeded in holding some of his perfect pegs the Auburn-Aggie game mint have ended differently.
 In the backfield the Aggies are counting on the speed of Clark and Little for substantial end runs. Lit tie is a line plunger of considerable note, too. Baby Carpenter and Capt. Henley at tackle and guard are un- dou btedly the stars of the line. Car penter has been mentioned for all outhern by numerous writers. Henley is adept in recovering fumbles. In the Auburn game he grabbed at least three loose balls and came very near getting away for touchdown on one occasion.
 Alabama's offense consists principal Ag on line bucks. This pair have been nkened to the old Strupper- -Guyon com bination which put Techs 1917 team on the map. O'Conner as drop kick CT demonstrated his ability in the Geor- gia game and if the Crimson fails to cross he Aggie goal line may boot a field goal for the decision.
 The Crimson line, though one of the best in the south, Is without individual stars. Not a weakling is listed among Scott's forwards, however. In Boone and Hovater Alabama has a pair of ends that will hold their own with any two in Dixie
 The Aggfes are said to have the best pnnters and this may be big advan- tage on a heavy field. Both sides claim that sloppy arena will work a hardship on them, but the chances are that it will not affect the game mate riar1y one way or the other.
