PRICES
GOING LOWER
Market Glutted Beyond Demand
and Spectators Caught, U. S.
Agents Learn.

Sugar retail prices are certain 70
drop 10 lower levels, with the mar
ket glutted with stock far beyond the
normal demand. II was announced at
the Department OF Justice today. Is :
norinC appeals by refiners and whole-
sale jobbers for the departments IN
tervention. to stop further slump In
prices, officials said no possible action
could be taken to relieve sugar deal
ers who have oyer-bought and are
now losing heavily. r.
"Speculators and others caught In
this crash must bear the losses result
ing from their speculative activity
said Assistant Attorney General John
Crosbey in charge OF profiteerins
prosecutions
"Speculators who bought at a high
price, expecting still higher prices 70
prevail, are the only ones yelling for
our help. We note the consumers are
not doing any kicking"
ADVISE AGAINST BOARDING.
The Department OF Justice today
advised consumers against boarding
sugar, or attempting to over-stock at
the present prices. Those who buy
sparingly to meet ther usual needs
probably will be rewarded later by
the saving expected through lower
prices. Officials considered 1t sig
nificant that cuban raw sugar. for
delivery in January and succeeding &
months. is being quoted at approx
mately IL cents a pound.
Government commercial experts
studying the sugar drop, now are
convinced that the sugar shortage
scare created several months ago was
largely artificial, and that prices
reached unprecedented levels through
manipulations of the speculative ele-
ment. Full account is taken OF the
amount Of sugar imported here under
the high prices, but these imports are
negligible, II was said, and do not ac-
count for the fact tnat the market is
now flooded. The real reason for the
abnormal supply is the fact that
| sugar stocks in enormous amounts
held by spectators, have been re-
leased under financial pressure Many
banking institutions holding the
f.paper" of speculators forced the
nqudation of. such obngatons-
| MEET fsfG LOSSES, -,
At the Federal Reserve Board to-
day 1t was said to be certain sugar
speculators have pocketed losses run
ming into the millions, but complete
figures on this score from reserve
bank agents in the various districts
were not yet available. Officials OF
the board felt that bankers who had
backed such deals had taken ample
precautions to protect such loans. The
reports that have come from various
districts indicated that bankers are
not needing the appeals OF specula-
tors generally.
The release Of sugar in great guam
titles, officials said. probably reflects
decisive steps by financiers, ident-
fled with the reserve system. to re-
strict such credits, and divert the
credit so employed to more essential
channels. This, 1T was said. is in
line with the boards policy with re-
spect to sugar and to all other COM
modities used by spectators as Sc
curity for so-called montague
credits

WORLD MARKET FOR
AMERICAN APPLES
U. S. Fruit Exports Grow, While
Imports Fall 60 P. c., Despite
Bio Home Consumption.

American apples are being sent to
eighty different countries. reaching
all parts Of the globe, according to
statement issued today by the Bureau
Of Markets Despite the greater con-
sumption Of fruits in this country
during the past ten years, there has
been a material increase in American
fruits exports, while imports have de-
creased
According to figures compiled by
the Bureau Of Markets, the average
yearly. exports of dried and fresh
fruits for the pre-war period 1910
1914 were approximately 504, oil 900
pounds. With two low years the aver
age for the periol 1915-1919 was 51S,-
$50 900 pounds, an increase of 2-6 per
cent. The 1910-1914 imports averaged
252, ,70S, 900 pounds, as compared with
100, ,321 900 pounds for 1915-1919,
showing an annual decrease Of 81 per
cent since 1914.
There is a constantly increasing de-
mand for American lemons and
oranges. Canada and the United King
dom being the largest purchasers.
The decline in the imports of grapes
Is accounted for by the rapid develop
ment Of the grape industry in Amer.
lea The same reason is given with
regard to lemons. In pre-war days
as much as 10000, 900 pounds of lem.
ons were imported annually from
Italy, but the imports have declined
greatly with the increase in Ameri.
can production. Several million
pounds of oranges used to be import
ed from Jamaica, Mexico and Italy
but very few are now brought to this
country

Advocates Of Plan Urge Strike
Against Two Dominant
Political Bodies.
tContinued from First Pase.)

tContinued from f1rst Pa6e.D
the peace treaty and covenant are
ratified by the United States.
These demands will be:
That the women of the world shall
have equal voice in selecting the
members of the supreme council.
That they shall not be discriminated
against In the matter OF holding high
Office.
That either they shall have the
right to hold international labor con-
ferences of their own. at which they
shall determine their own programs
or be given equal representation and
voice with the men.
That the clause providing for super
vision over traffic In women, opium
and other drugs" be stricken out on
the ground that II officially brands
women as an inferior and subJugated
sex.
Commenting today on the warnings
of Lady Astor and other English
women leaders that the organization
Of woman's political party would be
unwise and raise sex barriers, Alico
Paul said:
Sex barriers were raised centuries
ago. The men raised them and they
will exist until women remove them
There will never be full equality OF
men and women so long as sex dis
ordinations Of any kind exist.
'The struggle for suffrage has
demonstrated that the women can ex-
pect nothing from the politicians un-
til they stand as a unit in party OF
their own. They will win no new

EXPECT MILLS
TO START SOON
Govt. Experts Lay Shutdowns to
PubIic's Failure to Buy High
Priced Textiles.

Failure of the public TO buy sf
high prices. resulting in heavy cam
cellations OF dealers orders, has
caused shutdowns In the textile in
dutries, but these suspensions are
only temporary. and normal opera
tions soon will be resumed
Treasury Department experts today
made this prediction. after a close
study Of the industrial situation Re-
ports OF manufacturers show mills
that have been idle win start again
early in the fall Reserve bank
agents report that Industrial concerns
generally have borne without great
difficulty the financial strain placed
upon them by heavy cancellations
Officials were convinced that whfls
In some quarters purely political roa~
sons may be responsible for the clos
ing down OF mills in some sections of
New England, the discouragtng fac
tors generally noted grew out q
economic conditions
Cancellations of orders, toEet1.e1
with return OF goods to the wooden
mills may reach as high as 5000. .0o0s
900, II was stated. Still lower prices
on wool and wooden goods were be-
lieved by experts here to be inevitable,
with late reports showing more wool
in the world today than ever before
in history. Falling OF in buying
among the retailers is ascribed to the
unwillingness OF consumers to pur-
chase at prices in effect for several
months
From districts having large fin
ished textile interests reports stated
every indication exists for early re-
sumption of activity In lines that
have been suspended. Officials felt
hopeful that good business reasons
would prompt restoration of operat-
ing conditions through these branches q
OF trade.
Treasury officials firmly secuted
the theory that the Governments
drive to contract credits has any di-
rect bearing upon the present reduced
activity In fact latest reports show
the total amount of available credit
cannot be said to have been greatly
restricted.
Diminished demand for raw ma
terials and semi-finished products have
inevitably reacted upon the buying
power OF those ultimate consumers"
one official said. 1.-THE ability of the
producer and distributor to sell goods
has been fairly we'll sustained, except
in clothing and boots and shoes.
Present Industrial hindrances will
disappear within a short period.
Transportation difficulties are less
noticeable now than several weeks
ago. Transportation facilities are ex-

this problem solved, productive &C

Governor Prepares Data on G.
O. P. "SIush Fund" for Pre-
sentation at Chicago.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News Service,

DAYTON. O.. Aug. 23.--Will Gov
ernor James NJ. Cox. Democratic pres
idential nominee, be subpoenaed to
appear before the Senate campaign
fund investigating committee now In
session in Chicago?
Upon this question centered today
the interest of Democrats here In the
controversy growing out Of the gov
ernor's charges that Republicans are
raising a s15.000.O00 "slush fund,
and the response to those charges by
Senator Harding and Republican Ma
tional Chairman Will II. Hays.
Although 1t is admitted the Gov
crnor's proposed stumping tour might
be seriously deranged If he were
compelled to spend several days in
Chicago testifying before the COM
mittee, the fact remains that the
body has full power to subpoena him
IL it so desires, and the Governor is
known to be ready to comply should
such q summons be made.
Some of the candidates advisers
take the stand that his appearance
before the committee. backed up by
the disclosures which they say he is
prepared to make. would prove
vastly more effective. so far as
political sentiment Is concerned, tina n
all the campaign speeches he could
possibly make in the same period.
Early today the governor set abou,
getting data into shape for forward
ing to the committee in compliance
with the telegraphic request OF Sena.
tor James A. Reed, a Democratic
member of the body. and he expected
to have the material ready in short
order. He also let 1t be known that
the public may expect something from
him on the subject In the near future
The governor Is prepared, 1t was
said. to tell the committee just how
many districts the country has been
divided into by Republican leaders
the quota each district was to con
tribute, some Of the larger amounts
which he will contend have already
been collected, and In some notable
instances, the names of the donors.

QUARREL AN OLD ONE.

The fact that has been overlooked
by the bystander is the age OF the
quarrel. which. away back there in
the 18th century. occasioned the
British parliamentary leaders some
heated sessions. Maj Gen. Trench
OF the British army wrote from his

About two miles from the town our

that OF the repeis. Finding that
Ballina was in our possession, and

Serious political aspects aside. the
