SUGAR PRICES
 BASED ON THE
 COST OF RAWS

It is understood that the Depart ment of Justice told sugar refiners
 they were to base their prices for re- fined on the average cost of their pur- chases of raws during the month, but
 is disposed to allow accruing profits
 on purchases of raw sugar ahead for
 future delivery.
 In other words, refiners are basins 2 their prices for sugar at present up
 on the average cost of their January purchases but where they bought su-
 gar last year for January delivery at
 prices below present levels, they are allowed to reap the benefit of their foresight.
 The reason for allowing this profit is the extra risk refiiners took in rnak- ing purhases of sugar for future de- livery. It was desired to encourage purchases by ref1ners during the latter part of last year, so that the require
 ments of American consumers might be covered.
 At the rate foreign interests were buying Cuban sugar, alarm was felt in some quarters as to the possibility of an even more severe sugar short age than the country has been ex- periencing.
 Several refiners are known to have
  of raws at lower levels. One of the
 largest refining interests Is credited
 with purchases of several hundred
 thousand bags of hugar at around ' cents, f. o. b. Cuba. Prices for Gu ban sugar are now from about 10 1-2 cents for the later positions, to about II IA cents for mediate shipment. Local refiners are now quoting re- fined sugar from 15.00 cents to 16.00 cents. less 2 per cent. Based upon present cost and freight duty-paid price of Cuban raws, about 1904 cents, this means a ref1ner's margin of 1.54 last year. The Department of Justice at first was disposed, &C., l cording to one ref1ner, to regard 200 cents as minimum refining margin. Some ref1ners were inclined to kick over the traces at such an arbitrary i ruling, in view of the fact that in | a. free competitive market they had 1 to stand the risk of loss if the market | went against them. They point out that they would be perfectly willing | to do business on a 200 cent margin, 1 if the government guaranteed them 1 against risk of loss from a declining | market.
 1 Even comparatively small refiners
 often carry a supply of some 100000 | to 250,o bags of raw sugar. A de- l cline of 1 cent pound would mean
 loss of $600,000 to s750,000. Re | liners are aiming as much as possible
 in view of the high prices, to sell su- gar against their supplies of raws, tie 1 ing up both ends of the transaction so as to reduce their possible losses or l inventories, in case or a drop in sugar
 prices.
 Refiners point out, however, that i in case of reclining prices there are
 always cancellations of contracts by
 some purchasers, which leaves the burden of lowered inventory values on the refner to that extent. Presen demand for refined sugar ontinue. | strong, and buyer would be willing to pay higher than quoted prices fol immediate delivery.

ECONOMY ON RAILROADS.

Washington, Jan 24.-Fretght traf- ffc fell off but passenger traffic in creased steadily on the railroads in the Eastern district during 1919, ac- cording to the annual report of Reg ional Director A. T. Hardin to Walker D. Hines, Director-Genera1 of Rail roads was made public today.
 Freight traffic decreased 32.S per cent during the early months of the year, but the situation improved in the fall. The increase in passenger traffic was steady and there was a very heavy increase in suburban traf- fic due to the housing problem in the cities
 Forces were reduced and expendi- lures cut down, the report states, and the campaign for fuel economy, MT. Hardin says, saved about S9,200,0 for the eastern lines An additional saving of $7,s55,0oo was affected by consolidating operations at various points.

CHURCHMEN ARGUE
OVER OPEN FORUM
Rev. G. A. Christensen Attacks
Religious Vaudeville and
Proxy Praise.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
ROCHESTER,. Dec. 10-The final ses-
sion Of the Episcopal Church Congress
here to-day was enlivened by an argu-
ment between the Rev. Gustav A. Car
stensen, rector Of the Holyrood Church
in New York. and the Rev. William n.
Guthrie, rector OF st. Marks-ln-the-
Bouwerie, apd other clergy regarding
the value OF the open forum conducted
by the Rev. Percy stokney Grant at
the Church OF the Ascension IN New
York. DIT. Christensen attacked any dis
play OF what he called religious vaude-
Vile without specifically mentioning DR..
Grant. while DR.. Guthrie discussed the
question ito what extent does the con-
secretation OF church building remove
It from secular use" from the angle pre-
sented by DR.. Grants forum.
DR.. Christensen made an attack against
"the replacing Of the church treasure Of
sacred song by the pantheistic vaporings
of Rabindranath Tagore or the senti-
mental jingles which most befit Mrs.
Piper seance or Mother Eddy conven-
ticle." and urged that the church be
freed from "carnal music, proxy praise
and religious vaudeville"
Until you burn your pew DOORS" he
said, "ynu will perpetuate burning
shame. The church will not be step
ping stone for social climbers. nor will
It be rendezvous for the crowds that
regale themselves with the antics OF a
Charlie Chaplin or "a Billy Sunday. II
will not be an asylum for a red tagged,
red handed. red headed rahbc yelling
and screeching like pandemonium let
loose"
Or. Guthrie declared that he had once
conducted forums in his own church.
but that the newspapers had compelled
him TO discontinue them. although he did
not say how this was done. He said
that he should be considered N coward
