TREASURY CERTIFICATES.
GERMANY TO SEEK SUGAR.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Accord-
ing to advices from Germany re-
cefved by local sugar houses. there
will be no exports of new crop sugars
this year. but will probably be con-
siderable imports. This is attributed
to the development Of the chocolate
industry. the full employment of vari-
Gus other industries consuming sugar
and the prohibition of imports of
pineapples, bananas and other fruits,
which were received in large Quanti-
ties before the war. all resulting in
a larger consumption of sugar than
anticipated. The government, it is
reported. will permit such importa-
tions on the condition that like
quantity Of the manufactured articles
be exported. Since the Czecho-
slovakian factories are sold out for
the season. 1t is explained. American
granulated or Java whites must
supply the demand. There have, how
ever. been no developments to in
dicate that Java sugars in any guam
titles will be available for Europe,
according to the information.

transcontinental road. but the forty
foot reinforced concrete .surfacing

paving work with the utmost speed
