HAS yzAR PRICE
 REACHED BOTTOM? Domestic Consumption and Export Fail to Absorb Huge
 Amount Arriving
By kssocIated Prpss


 New York, August S1.-Whether the price of sugar, after it's quick decline of last week, has reached bottom or is due for further drops, was the subject ot conjecture here today among dealers, some of whom are said to stand to lose heavily if additional breaks occur
 The concensus of conservative opinion among traders was that many heavy losses were not to be expected. All agreed that profits would be materially curtailed, and in some cases would have to be fore gone completely to avoid more serious consequences should lessened demand fierce the market still lower.
 The bottom fell out of the market one large dealer said today shortly after the demand for domestic consumption and export failed to absorb huge quantities of sugar which poured in from nearly every country, including China, Japan and Cen tral European points, such as the Balkans and Czecho-Slovana.
 From a high level of over 25 cents for refined sugar, the price gravitateo rap idly to II, with frequent offerings at 15c from spectators, who feared the end of the decline had not been reached.
 Today one refinery yielded to continued pressure, cutting to 16c for fine granulated or lc under other refineries and about Sc below highest prices of the summer. The best bid for Cuban raw sugar was Sc, cost and freight. The early summer high for the same commodity was 23c

COLBY NOT INTERESTED

Washington, August 31.--State de- partment officials in the absence of Secretary Colby hesitated to express opinion as to the effect on suffrage ratification of the action of the Ten nessee house in reconsidering its vote on the ratification resolution and then voting not to concur in the senates ratification
 The situation presented by the ac- ton of the Tennessee house, 1t was said, however, was one with which the state department was not at present concerned. The action of Secretary Colby in proclaiming the suffrage amendment a part of the federal con stitution was based on certification by the governor of Tennessee as re- quired by law accordingly, it was said unless the governor should rescind his certification or unless the certifica- courts the state department had no interest in the matter.
 Suffrage leaders in Washington did not regard the Tennessee situation as serious declaring that the best legal advisors had informed them that once ratification was voted by a state leg islature. the vote could not be re- versed except in case Congress- pre- sented to the states a resolution to re- peal the amendment.
 Some suffrage leaders admitted and many anti-suffragists claimed that the legal tangle in which Tennessee's ratification has become involved would undoubtedly be made more complex by the action of the Tennessee house.

OPTIMISTIC VIEWS GIVEN IN REPORT Federal Reserve Board De- cIares Downward Trend of
 Prices Is Continuing
By Associated Press

Washington, August 31.-Refusal of the public to pay excessive prices" caused continuation of the downward trend of values in August. the federal reserve board declared in its monthly review of business conditions issued tonight. The board added that the re action" against high prices had been accompanied by general slowing up of the wholesale field and by slight evidences of unemployment in some sections
 The boards views on the national business generally were more optimis- tic than recent expressions and indi- cated an expectation of more stability in industry and commerce. While the review mentioned signs of a conclusion n of the transition period, it countered with the statement that progress in that direction is slow and much still remains to be done" before the coun- try can be said to be on a stable basis.
 The hopeful assertion was made. however that the readjustment had continued consistently.
 Tn the agricultural regions" the re- view declared. the promising pros- poets have given a muca inore hope ful turn to affairs and have tended 70 minimize the broader questions of price adjustment, money rates and industrial unrest. In those parts of the country the paramount idea is production on a large scale accompanied by improve ments of transportation and labor con- ditions
 Where the processes of distributing are more important the prospect for is less immediate all though fundamental conditions are slowly improving and the underlying business situation is usually described as sound"

 ponents and also criticized both the re-

TENNESSEE HOUSE , EXPUNGES RECORD
 OF RATIFICATION
Officials Silent Regarding Ef- feet on Ratification, But the Situation Made More
 Complex
By Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, August S1-The Ten nessee house of representatives, with a quorum present for the first time since August 20, expunged from its journal this afternoon all record of ratification of tho suffrage amendment and voted f7 to "A, with twenty not voting, to non-concur in the action of the senate in ratifyng. Shortly after the house convened it be- came evident that the anti-ratification-
 sts, a majority of whom have been in Alabama on a filibuster for more than a week, were in the majority through fail ure of several of the suffragist members to arrive in time. With clock-like pro gramme. the antis proceeded to put through their plan of attempting to undo what was done on August 21, when rati- fication was accomplished.
 The first step was motion to expunge from the journal of that day all reference to the proceedings upon the suffrage ratifica tion resolution. After it was car ried 4 to s7, with six not voting, motion was made and carried that a certified copy of the resolution, the original of which is in the hands of the senate, be spread upon the journal.
 Representative Riddick, floor leader of the ratificationists. made the point of order that the resolution was out of the hands of the house and now part of the federal constitution through proclamation of Secretary of State Colby He was overruled by Speaker Walker.
 The house. by viva voca vote, then adopted a motion to reconsider it's pre- vious action upon the resolution. Mo- ton was then made and carried to non concur in the action of the senate in ratifying the ratification resolution.
 In the course of the discussion on the legality of the action of the house in reconsidering, Representative 8ld- dick read a letter from State's Attorney General Thompson, in which the latter expressed the opinion that reconsidera : ton of the resolution was impossible, since the house had already ratified it and Governor Roberts had certified to Secretary Colby this action by both house and senate.
 Governor Roberts declined to makt any statement tonight as to the eff the matter was a purely legal one and in the hands of Attorney General
 Action of the house is not taken seriously here, as the general opinion prevails that legality or iilegality Of ratification will b8 isfided upon the record certified to WaS'nngton by Gov ernor Roberts, s-
 Anti -ratificationists would not state tonight whether they expect to make an effort to have the senate, which voted to ratify 25 to 4. to reverse it's action.
