Talk of Export Sugar Corporation

Leading sugar refining and produc-
ing interests are reported on good au-
thority to be discussing the advisibility
of forming a corporation for the pur
pose of anancing the bulk of the un-
sold portion Of the 1920-'21 crop, which
is now estimated at approximately
100000 tons. AS next seasons crop
is expected to amount to about 3,oOo,-
600 tons, both bankers and interests
of the trade stress the necessity of
handling the last crop in a way that
will tend toward stabilization Of
prices. The Copper Export Association
was organized to take over 400,000,000
pounds and hold it for export, and in
this connection $40,000,0O0 Of notes
were issued to carry the metal during
periods OF slack demand 1t is doubt
full however, whether similar instru-
ment could be formed to finance sugar
exports, in view Of the fact that the
longer it Is held the more it tdeteriorates.
Bankers SAID yesterday that while an
export corporation is being talked Of
none of the details Of organization
has yet been worked out

Which established a new high for the
year at 102, compared with 81, the
low of the session. 1t was reported in
some quarters that this company might
go into the Pullman-Haskell G. Barker
merger at a price considerably higher
than the current market quotation.
Lima Locomotive officials professed to
have no knowledge that the reported
negotiations were under way. The
Street generally was inclined to view
the rumor as one Of the many that
are bound to crop up with the talk
OF so many mergers in the air, includ-
ing steel and copper. So why not an
equipment merger?

AWFUL PLIGHTOF SELFISH MAN
Warning to Those Who Borrow the
Censor

A man who was too stingy to take
the Censor, sent his little boy over to
the neighbours to borrow their paper.
In his haste the boy ran over four
stand OF bees, and in ten minutes look
ed like a warty summer squash. His
cries reached his father who ran to
his assistance, and failing to notice a
wire fence, ran into that, breaking it
down and cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running a $40
pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage of the
gap in the fence, and got into the
corn field and killed herself eating
green corn. Hearing the racket the
wife ran out, upsetting four gallon
churn full of rich cream into a bas-
ket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In the mixup she dropped and
broke twenty-dollar set of false
teeth.
Left alone, the baby crawled
through the spilled cream and into
the parlor, running a $50 rug. Taking
advantage of the excitement, the elder
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven setting
hens and the goat got out and chew
ed the tails off FIVE fine shirts. So
he signed DIP for the Censor.
