THE SUGAR SITUATION.
The American Sugar Bulletin For This
Week Says:

3
The raw sugar market has ruled
steady during the past week wit hout
many sales. A lot of Cubas ahoat was
sold to rcfiner ON Tuesday at 10 .25c.
cost and freight equal to .2Sc duty
paid and one Of Porto Ricos in the
same position on Wednesday at l0.75c
cost, insurance and freight, delivered.
There were rumors that operators paid
in excess Of these prices. On Thursday
rcfiners bought nearby lot of Cubas
at 10.5Oc c. 4 {.
Canadian refiners also took SuriDnm.
San Domingo and Demerara sugars at
from 9.S75c elf. to 1925 elf. New
York.
The Royal Commission on the Sugar
Supply made further moderate purchases
in Cuba at 9.50c free on board Cuba.
In view of the light exports from
Cuba reported in the week before last
and the resulting light arrivals at Allan
tic ports this week, a moderate price
recovery was to be expected following
the heavy decline of February.
Receipts at Atlantic ports next week
should be heavier as result Of the
heavier experts from Cuba in the week
ending February %.
The feature of the past week was
the reduction in prices of refined. The
American Sugar Refining Co. and the
Franklin Sugar Refining Co. reduced
their basic price to IA less 2 per cent
on 13.72c net cash.

CAN DESTROY NEW YORK
FROM LONDON, is CLAIM
New Radio Apparatus Test Shows
Mines May be Fired Across
the Atlantic.
london c,orrss pondonce New YORK sum.

London Correspondence New York Sun.
A remarkable series OF wireless ex-
periments, Just completed at Chelms-
ford, has been productive OF sorne dy-
mamie results, not TO say even more
explosive discussion. That the entire
manner and scale Of warfare as well as
the physiognomy of the bcttered old
world can be changed as il by black magic
is the claim made for the new tricks OF
the radio trade successfully tried out IN
this demonstration.
Foremost il the assertion that by this
new wireless device big guns or hidden
stores of explosives can be fired or explod-
ed at long distance, and the very choice
example Of destroying New York by
pressing a button in London is brought
forward by the eager protagonists OF thus
newest feat Of science
The original purpose OF the Chelms-
ford test was to demonstrate new device
for giving aid TO ships in distress at sea,
but before the scientific revel ended the
agenda Of accomplishment included such
trifling topics as literal wars OF the hemis-
pheres.
The apparatus in its simpler form pro-
vides the wave length sufficient TO ring
bells on board every ship within the wire
less radius of the vessel sending out the
distress call II is with the extension OF
this idea, however, that the wireless
wizards played their trump cards.
First they started for arguments sake,
on 300 miles, and asserted and then prov
ed TO their own satisfaction that with the
proper wave length and adaptation at
both ends this instrument could fire q
gun or all the guns on tho Passchendaele
ridge by touching lever In London.
An official of the Marconi company
then declared that such an apparatus in
Paris could cause an explosion in Berlin.
Also, it was asserted that an apparatus
in an airplane could hover over an APP
preaching enemy until his troops were
over previously hidden store Of explo-
sives and then destroy them.
Thus of to fair start these scientists
next began to pick on America. Some
one asked why London could not blow
up Now York by this device. Some one
else replied that it was very simple, with
only two steps necessary. One was To
increase the range of the instrument, and
that comparatively easy; the other was
Ia proceed to New York and leave live
receiver lying about somewhere, suitably
hidden, and, of course, attached TO
mine OF explosives Blewicl
II was stated that the instrument was
used in experimental ways during the
latter part Of the war when fog guns
some Is miles from shore were fired In

 CLASH ON SUNDAY

MESA, June 24.-A fitting reception is being planned for the Standard Oil company team of Phoenix when it in Vades the Mesa territory next Sunday afternoon to play off the tie now ex- 1sting between the two clubs in the Central Arizona league. Tempe is also tied for first place with the two teams, and if the Tempeans win next Sunday they will remain in the tie place with the victor in the game to be played on the local lot.
 Lefty Lush, who pitched sterling bali against the Casa Grande aggregation last Sunday. letting only two more than the minimum face him in the nine i'm nings, is being looked upon as the like ly choice for mound duty against the Oilers. Menhennett, his battery mate last Sunday. will work behind the bat again. with the remainder of the club holding their former positions.
 The Oiler Mesa game is heralded on the south side as the Biggest yet of the season, and Mesa, after being de- feated a trio of times in succession at the hands of the Oilers in the early spring, before the league opened. is. keen for revenge. Additional parking space is being provided on the playing field so there will be ample accom- modations to handle the large crowd expected.

T|LDEN DEFEATS
 BRITISH EXPERT

WIMBLEDON, June 24.-Willam T. Tilden of Philadelphia today took the measure of J. C. Parke. the British eX- pert who put William M. Johnston, the American champion, out of the run ming for the British lawn tennis cham pionship, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-2, GA. The match was hard fought, but there is no doubt here that the bet ter man won.
 Today's result brought out more clearly why Parke succeeded in beat ing Johnston in the second round. namely. that the American beat him- self, which mistake Tilden was careful not to repeat.
 Tilden was superior at all points of the game, and had sufficient reserve and resources to capture Parke's serv- ice game when it was needed in order to take the set. Parke demonstrated one style Of game-straightforwa hitting, with top-spin. Tilden had this shot, but supplemented it with beau tiful cut stroke when Parke was at the base line, and with heavily topped drop shot and magnificent clean cross yolleylng at shoulder height and also overhead. A great crowd witnessed the contest and not the least interested among the spectators were the king and queen of England, Princess Mary and the Duke of York.
