While local jobbers and retailers
admit belief that the price of sugar
in the general market has not yet
found It's normal low level the re-
tail price still is being maintained

Most OF tho jobbers tried TO main

pound, but they are finding few buy

yesterday that some of them are glad
to find a market at one and two cents
less. They claim that most Of this
sugar is costing them from 90 =
cents UP 10 70 cents on allotment con-
tracts.
Efforts OF jobbers and retailers now

as carefully as they can until mar

Opinions on Market Confusing.
Local market opinion to the future

quoted price OF raws.
Housewives buy Carefully.
In the meantime II IS reported that
mond are buying carefully. One re-
taller said that most OF the families
OF tho city are supplied for some
weeks and some for months and that
sugar will move slowly until the mar
kc; is stabilized or until the home
supply is exhausted.
This retailer also called attention
to the characterization OF sugar deal
crs last year in the probable con-
sumption of sugar for preserving.
The housewife did not purchase eN-
pected amounts for this purpose on
preserving she canned her fruits and
vegetables. which process requires
little or no sugar.

CARNIVAL ALL READY

Everything is now in readiness for
the big annual carnival of the Santa
Cruz Club, which is to be held in the
club rooms of the Club Recreativo
de Nogales, in the basement of the
Wise: building on Thursday and Fri
day nights Of this week.
An important feature of the
carnival which was added at the
meeting Of the committee in charge
last night is a cabaret. A number of
talented entertainers have been en-
gagged for this feature, which pro-
misses to be one of the most important
ones of the entire carnival. The
cabaret will enable it's patrons to
sit down while partaking of refresh
ments and listening to the music.
Talented singers will entertain them,
and between songs, dacing will be
permitted between the tables.
1t is rumored that Thursday will
be meatless day with the butchers
in Nogales, as the hot dog committee
from the carnival is making a round
up of the dogs of the city to supply
needs, while the campaign for the
use of the cheaper cuts Of meat will
fall to naught on account of the
enormous demands of this same COM
mittee.

HOLDS STRONG
IN SONORA

The strike of railway trainmen of
the S. P. de Mexico, which has COM
pletely tied up traffice south from this
point for the past couple of days as
sumed an attitude of potential action
yesterday afternoon, when the train
men served notice on the railroad
that unless their demands were met
within 18 hours the trainmen of Sin
aloa would also be called out, thus
tieing up the traffic of that state as
well as Sonora. Coupled to this came
notice from federal judge Carlos
Velasgo, that unless differences were
patched up inside of 72 hours and
trains started running, the federal
government would take hold and op-
crate the trains by the use of Fed
eral soldiers.
Another report reaching the city
last night was that the miners at
Cananea were to walk out at six
o'clock last night in sympathy with
the railroad men, completely shutting
down the big copper camp. 1t is
estimated that this move would in
volve five to six thousand miners.
It was further stated by those in
authority, that $35,OO0.0O Mexican
currency was received yesterday aft
ernoon by the striking trainmen in
Nogales, Sonora to help them in their
fight, from the other labor unions
throughout Mexico and that more
would be forthcoming in case it were
needed.
One feature of the strike so far is
the orderliness with which it. has
been conducted. The men conducting
the strike for the brotherhoods are
determined that there shall be no
violence of any kind, and are watch
ing closely any of their members who
might be tempted to try fire brand
methods.
In the meantime business at the
line and throughout the state of So
nora is completely paralyzed. Not
wheel has been permitted to turn
since the men walked out at noon
Saturday. Twenty-siX car loads of
tomatoes are reported to be detained
only few miles south of Nogales,
and the strikers have refused to al
low them to be moved on the theory
that to grant favors to one set of
shippers would show partiality on
their part. This one shipment alone
is valued at about $4,000, and 9th
ers entransit between the fields and
the line amount to probably more than
that amount.
1t is predicted by those close to the
situation that should the federal gov
eminent attempt to run trains with
soldiers, it will be construed by the
people of Sonora to mean that Car
ranza's attempt to impose military
rule of the state is being carried out,
and will probably result in serious
trouble. The situation is getting
critical, and will be watched with in
