Washington, Aug. 20-Big sugar
dealers are lo~ling for help. Many
of them who loaded up and held
sugar when prices were high with
view to unloading when they went
still higher, find themselves facing
serious losses as sugar is falling
downward with big strides with no
immediate prospect of check to the
decline
Within week when sugar prices
have dropped from %, "a and Is
cents pound to Is, II and l8 cents,
many dealers have lost thousands of
dollars of their former fat sugar
profits and the end is not yet. Yes
terday, according to information
reaching Washington, one of the
largest concerns in the country plan
ned to put sugar on the market at
IS cents pound in order to meet
competitors. ..s
| Government officials who are
watching the situation said today
that it would not be surprising if
prices dropped to even lower levels
before they stabilize. A miscalcula-
ton. as the effects of prohibition, is
declared to have been the real in
stigation of the break in sugar.
Foreign Supply Large. 4
A contributary cause is attributed
to the haste of sugar dealers all over
the world to rush their supplies to
this country to get the benefit of
the high prices. Many of these for
cign supplies have already reached
here or are en- route, coming from
Brazil. Peru, Argentina, China and
even from Africa.
None OF these countries has
figured in American sugar markets
before.
Big candy and soft drink manu-
facturers and spectators calculated
last summer and fall that nationwide
prohibition would create a demand
for candy and soft drinks never
before known in this country and
gobbled up available sugar supplies.
Then for weeks this past spring
grocers informed the average in
dividual there was no sugar to be had.
Rehners took advantage of the de.
mand to boost prices until they
reached as high as 25 and so cents a
pound.
Selling at Loss Now.
This summer candy and soft
drink manufacturers were awakened
to the fact that the public had moi
gone crazy oyer candy as anticipated.
Accordingly they began to unload.
Ehe' demand for sugar became sc
strong that "irrevocable letters of
credit" we're devised, refners re-
quiring these letters with orders for
sugar. "The irrevocal letter of credit"
is letter from a bank, backed by
actual security that will guafantee
payment for sugar as agreeA.s II
tied up the purchasers money.
Apparently the big rehners have
the upper hand, and are able to
force payment for the big supplies
purchased. Much of the sugar is now
being sold at loss averaging cents
pound.
Another circumstance that makes
it difficult to halt the downward
competitive slide now is the ap-
proach of the beet sugar yield,
which, will supply large quantities
available for western states. This is
expected to cut down the eastern
rehneries market and bring an even
sharpeA competitive stage.

,Rioting at KattoWitz Seem.
ingIy Comes as No Surprise
: to Official Quarters
/ Outbreak Feared.

Berlin, Aug. 20.-In high official
quarters it is said the German gov
ernment has been, consigned to the
RON of mere onlooker in the upper
Silesian disturbances, as the rights of
that territory have been transferred
to the interallied governments.
The present rioting in kattowitz
seemingly has come as no surprise
to official quarters, where for some
time it has been asserted that suff-
cient combustible material was ac-
cumulating there to make such an
outbreak a logical consequences.
When Poland's fortunes of war be-
gan to diminish it was declared there
had come pronounced change in
sentiment in the upper Silesan> dis
tricts, which permitted the con-
clusion in high circles that if vote
were taken now it would show all
overwhelming majority in favor of
Germany.
Want Plebiscite Date.
While the workers and all Classes
of the population in upper Silesia are
reported to be frmly determined to
have Germany's neutrality rigidly
observed in connection with the
so-Polish war, and while this at
titude is believed to have been the
the pretext for the present outbreak,
informal discussion in official circles
in Berlin it has, been contended in
habitants Of the plebiscite region
gradually were finding their patience
at an end as result not only of the
reported flagrant manner in which
Polish propaganda was carried, on
and the continued alleged French
,excesses, but also because of the al
legged inconclusive attitude OF the
interallied commission toward es-
tabishing fixed date for the plebis-
cite. f#
This reported accumulation of
grievances is declared now to have
beeen augmented by the neutrality
factor, which finds the populace
firm unit.
Sees Happy Signs.
The German press hitherto has
been chary in its comment on the
situation. While deploring the out
breaks in upper Silesia because, it
says, they are likely still further to
eomplicate Germany's tangled for
eign situation, the Taglische Rundz-
schsu expresses the belief. that the

Madison, Wis, Aug. 20.-Wiscon-
sin is one agricultural state where
farm tenantry is decreasing while
acreage, under cultivation and farm
output are increasing.
In 1909 the state had l77,l27 farms
of which SOL per cent were owned
by their operators and 1879 per cent
we're rented. In 1919 the latest fig
ares show there were f8l ,909 farms,
and OF these 87.7 per cent were
owned by their tillers and l2.3 per
cent were rented.
The 10 years not only saw more
farms in the state and more farmers
owning their land but it also wit
messed an increase of l2.6 per cent
in the area under plow.
As to improved agricultural prac-
gees and the trend of crop yields,
the statsticians at the state house
have computed Tat an acre of Wis
consin soil today produces 81 per
cent more food than it did in 1885.
In the United States as all whole
