est prices for sugar known in the ex perience of the present condition. Av craze import prices of raw sugar ship ped to this country ranged from 15c per pound in March to Is 1-2 in June then slowly declined to 15c per pound in September, 11.Sc in November, 9.Sc in December, 6.1c in January, 1921, and 49c in March and April, though the average import price of raw sugar imported from foreign countries in the ten months ending with April 1921, was 10.4c per pound against 9.1c in the full fiscal year of 1920, 5.6c in 1919, and exactly 2c per pound in the fis- cal year 1914, all of which year pre- ceded the war. Thus the import price of the raw sugar imported from for eign countries in the ten months end- ing with April, 1921, averaged just five times as much per pound as in the fiscal year 1914, while the per capita consumption for 1921 will, de- spite this quintupling of price, be mat erially greater than when sugar was being imported at Pc per pound as against 10.4c in the ten months of the current fiscal year for which fig ures are now availablei.

Company Bankruptcy
Is Halted in Courts

All proceedings in the state and
federal courts involving the Farmers
Mortgage company, Council Bluffs
were stopped by an order from Fed
cral Judge Wade which denied the
right of stockholders to maintain
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the company on the ground
that it was virtually proceeding
against themselves.
The action followed the filing in
federal court yesterday OF petition
of intervention by Addison Kistle,
representing a new set of creditors.
Under the rule of the court the for
lner actions were invalid and the
whole problem of the bankruptcy of
the company must be submitted to
Fremont Benjamin, referee in bank
ruptcy, for examination and recom-
mendation for adjudication.
Actual creditors, who are not
stockholders, appear as intervenors
in the suit filed yesterday. They are
tB. F. Cotton, Omaha, and the Alb
stract Guaranty company of Cotih-

The ruling of Judge Wheeler in
district court, suspending all action
in his court pending decision in the

court rule suspends the two former
bankruptcy applications made by
stockholders.
