ARRIVAL OF SHIPMENT
FROM CUBA WILL ROUT
HIGH PRICE OF SUGAR
Cane Supply, Expected to
Reach Here Early in Febru-
ary is Slated to Fall to So to
$40 to Consumer.

! SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-A drop
In the record price of sugar now being
quoted is expected by local sugar bro
kers and refiners as soon as the heavy
Cuban crop begins arriving in guam
J tity next month and as soon as the
heavier shipments from Honolulu be-
gin. also In February.
The latest quotation on cane Cuban
sugar in New York is given at $16
a hundred. less per cent. This would
make the sugar cost the average con-
sumner in a seaboard city IS cents a
pound. Inland consumers would have
to add the freight.
Compared 10 this high price for
cane sugar OF the new crop, beet su-
gar was quoted today at local whole
sale houses at $ll net.
The price of cane sugar is expect
ed to begin tumbling during the next
four weeks and to continue to drop
until 1t is down to 80 or $40, which
will make it about - cents to the con
sumer.
The first Hawaiian sugar has ar
rived here, but the heavy movement
will not begin until next month. Sugar
brokers said today that the govern
ment will make no effort to establish
a sugar price when the McNary sugar
control bin takes effect January Is.
They look to see government agents
bend their energies more to prevent
profiteering Secretary Tumulty has
already issued a statement saying it is
improbable that the president will eX-
ercise the discretion given him to buy
Cuban sugar. as ''it might be impos-
sible for the government to step in
now and purchase the sugar without
increasing the price TO the consumer"
Local sugar brokers estimate that
the presidents refusal 10 buy sugar at
IL cents from cuba in 1919 cost the
American consumers approximately
$3.50, ,000, 900.

COUNC|LMEN ORDER
NEW FIRE MIGRANTS
MAY RESULT IN REDUCTION IN
FIRE INSURANCE RATES; PLAN
PRESENTED FOR OILING CITY'S
STREETS, W. p. TO FURNISH OIL

Most important of the work accom-
plished by the city councilmen at their
meeting last night was a decision to
order sixteen new fire hydrants and
plans for installation as soon as pos
sible. 1t is generally understood that
with these additional hydrants in
stalled cut of ten per cent in fire
insurance premiums will be allowed
by the board of fire underwriters and
perhaps larger amount.
A plan has been devised whereby
the city may use the waste fuel oil
now being burned at the Western Pa
cific roundhouse. 1t is proposed to
find a means of getting the oil out of
the waste "sump" at the roundhouse
and spread it over newly graded
streets. 1t is thought the water
sprinkling wagon can be utilized with
minor changes. the oil being heated
by steam to an easy flowing degree.
1t is the councilmen's idea that by
using the oil, which will be given to
the city without charge by the West
crn Pacific, great sum of money may
be saved by reducing the necessity of
sprinkling to keep down dust. They
also are of opinion better streets will
result because of the use of OIL
Councilman Atkins and Mayor Bran
don will look into the matter further
Several streets were reported to be
IN bad condition and in need of grad
ing, including the Pavilion street hill
These will be repaired in due time.

NO GREAT LOSSES IN SHEEP
FROM COLD WEATHER

Reports of great damage to sheep
by the storms of last week, which
have reached Reno from various
sources, are not substantiated by the
big wool interests of the state. At
the Union Land & Cattle Companys
offices in Reno it has been stated that
the cold weather killed slightly more
than the average number of shorn
sheep and lambs, but the loss was
not heavy, says the Reno Gazette.
No report of unusual stock losses
have reached the office of the Nevada
Live Stock Association. according to
Vernon Metcalf, secretary. While
shearing had been in progress for
several days prior to the storms. wool
had been clipped from the backs only
of few animals when the weather
made it necessary to discontinue the
shearing for the time being.
