PROVERBIAL LAST GRAIN
Sugar Shorter In Abilene Monday
More Coming However.

Abilene is nearing the proverbia
last grain of sugar.
Few retailers offered sugar fol
sale yesterday, several of the larger
downtown stores reporting their re-
serve stocks had been exhausted.
Though some local merchants have
not even brown sugar to offer they
expect more white sugar to come in
this afternoon
During the past three weeks sugar
receipts have declined almost so per
cent, one wholesaler reported. Re
lief from the shortage. which started
last fall, was expected after January
but thus far has failed to mater
ialize.
Managers of retail stores have
found 1t necessary for all dealers
handling sugar to resort to 25-c
rations to distribute the small re-
naming supply evenly throughout
the city
Factories using large amounts Of
sugar are facing curtailment of pro
duction unless relief comes in me
near future. Many downtown res
taurants have removed sugar bowls
from their tables and counters and
returned to the war time practice of
serving single spoonful with each
cup of coffee

When they had gone 1913 feet they
struck oil. The well had cost them
only $3.50. The oil. when Mr.. Holden

BLAMESLACK Of SUGAR

L. v. B. Cameron, in Report to

NEW YORK. January IA tby the

age last year was blamed yeste rday
on the United States sugar equaliza-
tion board by L. V. b. Cameron in his
annual report 70 the National Asso-
citation of Brokers in Refined Sugars,
of which he is president.
The board. he said. encouraged ex-
ports business last year before Great
Britain claimed the one-third of the
Cuban crop of 1888. which il had
been allotted. When sugar was about
to be exported Great Britain demanded
it's share, and then. said Mr.. Cameron.
came the "deluge." At preserving
ers to take care of the demands OF
the British royal commission. the
shipments to neutral countries and
domestic needs.
Agreement Not Published.
The agreement relating to ship
ments Tor the account of the British
royal commission has never been pub
lished, Mr. Cameron continued. IF
TINS agreement had been published by
the equalization board would it not
appear that large portion of the ac-
cumulated stocks in the refiners
hands in the early part Of the year
actually belong to the British royal
commission? If the country had had
a knowledge of these facts would not
the wholesale dealers and manufac-
turers have protected themselves
against an impending shortage?"
The board purchased the entire
Cuban crop of 1888 and two-thirds
We're allotted for domestic needs Of
the United States. Early in the year
American refiners had ample supplies
and the British royal commission had
its shipments postponed because of
lack of tonnage. AS the result of the
boards encouragement. Mr.. Cameron
said. orders were placed with Ameri-
can brokers in May. June and July
last year for shipments of sugar to
all parts of the world
Points to Famine Of 1919.
Then the Cuban crop failed to
prove as large as expected and the
result. said Mr.. Cameron. was "a fam
inc in sugar in the face of an as
| sured quantity Of cane sugars in the
| early part of 1919. plus a large crop
OF Louisiana and beet sugars"
The situation was aggravated he
continued. by the offerings of large
quantities OF sugar through un-
licensed brokers at profteering prices.
In all of these cases." he said,
after tireless search it was found
that no such sugar actually existed.
The offerings must have been for
other reasons than the delivery of
