As was generally expected. the
board Of directors OF Cuban-Amcr-
ican Sugar Company at their meet
ing this morning deferred action on
the common stock dividend. This
course was forecast by the recent
action Of the American Sugar Re-
inning Company and the Manti Sugar
Company, and the reduction in the
quarterly dividend rate OF Cuban
American from 81 to soc at the pre-
vious quarterly meeting. The sharp
decline in sugar prices and over
accumulation Of stocks during the
past year have made hard shedding

HOPES TODEVELOP
ITALIAN COLONIES
Due d'Abbruzzi Would Frans,
form Liabilities to Assets
To Needy Nation.

ROME, Aug. 17.-The Duke Of the
Abbruzzi is again putting his per-
sonal services at the disposition OF
the crown in a serious effort to de-
velop 1taly's colony OF Somaliland.
down near the Red Sea.
He has already been there sew
eral months and Italy is now be-
ginning TO receive some of the
fruits Of his efforts.
Up to the present time, Italy's
colonies have been much more Of
liability than an asset. They con-
sist principally Of Tripoli and Ci-
renaica in the northern part OF
Africa and Erytrea and Italian
Somaliland in the eastern part.
None OF them have ever reached
a point of development TO render
them an important factor in Italy's
economic life. as is. the case with
the colonies of nearly all the other
European countries.
This situation Italy is now trying
to remedy and the Duke of the Alb
bruzzi's expedition into Somaliland
Is one OF the first steps in that d.
rection. He is putting into the task
all of the scientific knowledge as
we'll as patriotic zeal that charac-
terized his polar voyages and his
other undertakings on behalf OF
Italy.
He will remain in the Somaliland
until October. when he expects to
be able to render the government a
complete record on the economic
possibilities of the colony. One OF
his principal tasks Is the supervis-
ing OF the work already under way
for rendering navigable the Ubei
Scbeli River for its entire length.
This will then serve as the means
OF transportation necessary for the
material for putting large tracts OF
the colony under cultivation.
Huge quantities Of agricultural
machinery and other material have
already reached Mogaiscio. This IL
being distributed over the colony as
fast as means OF transportation can
be developed.
Aside from about sixty white
workmeR whom he hash with him.
the Duke Of the Abbruzzi is depend
ing exclusively on indigenous labor
for carrying out the various pro-
jects to place the territory under
cultivation and render IL an asset
to Italy's national life.

NO TRACK TROLLEY
PROVES PRACTICAL:
Experiment in Richmond.
Shows Big Future
For Trollibus.

Relief seems in sight for the
suburbanite doomed to a mile hike
in order to reach the street car that
10 to take him to the office, for now
comes the trollibus, which promises
sDeedy extension of the nations
street car facilities.
Emerging from the experimental
stage this new mode OF travel is
in general use in at least one large
city. In fact, Richmond, Va, has
had a number of trollibuses in op-
Grafton for some time and, accord
ing to the Firestone Ship-by-Truck
Bureau, the new vehicles are a
much less expensive method of
transportation than a street car
system.
In appearance the new buses are
somewhat similar to the one-man
street cars used in the smaller
cities. They are operated on the
prepayment plan. with mechanical
door control. Other working fea-
lures are the dead mans handle,
emergency rear door and powerful
railway motor. Except that the
car gains its power from overhead
trolley lines, Il Is operated In all
respects like q big motor bus. II
may be guided in and out Of the
traffic and brought to a stop at
the curb.
The trollibuses now in use will
seat thirty and take fifteen stan
dees, says the Firestone bulletin,
the seats being roomy and comfort
ably upholstered. No Advertising Is
carried within or without car and
1t has the overhead veptilating sys-
tenn. Passengers designate their
stop by means of q buzzer system.
The exit steps are within the doors.
Wheels are of the cushion type
and although It has not as yet been
definitely decided whether cushion
tires will be the permanent equip
ment, present indications point to
the fact that they will be. Ac-
cording to Firestone motor bus tire
experts the cushion tire is peculiar
ly adaptable to the new cars on ac-
count Of their combined advantages
Of cushioning. traction, protection
against skid or spin and ability to
carry heavy loads without trouble

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-While the
showing of today's official cables
from Brazil was quite in line with
yesterdays private reports OF con-
tinued firmness there. a slight open
ing advance met considerable real
king in the local market. There
was also a renewal of near month
liquidation and after starting un-
changed to points higher, ac-
tive months soon turned easier. De-
cember which had sold at 7.2O on
the opening advance or Al points
above the low level Of last week
and within points of the high price
touched on the early month ad-
vance in Rio exchange. eased OH
to I'll, and the general market
worked off some or 10 points
from the best. Except for the
liquidation Of September or, switch
ing from that position to later
month in preparation for the poesi-
bility of notices. business was COM
paratively quiet, and reports OF
continued fair spot demand. brought
in some commission house buying
at the reactions.
The official cables reported a de-
cline Of 100 reis in the dollar buy
ing rate with an exchange of 1-lsd
in the rate of Rio exchange on Lon
don these fluctuations were accom-!
panied by steadincss in the primary
markets with milreis quotations un-
changed to IS reis higher at both
Rio and Santos. and the recent rul-
ling has suggested that government
operations are beginning to make
themselves felt as a stabilizing in
fluence. Nothing definite with re-
gard to measure for supporting Rio
exchange has vet developed. how
ever. and domestic trade buying
still seems restricted to more urgeEt
needs.
