SUGAR MEN Defend
THEIR HIGH RATES


New York. May 7,'--charges that
operations in sugar futures on the
New York coffee and sugar exchange
are a conspiracy in restraint OF trade
viii be answered this afternoon BY
John w, Davis, former ambassador
| 10 Great britain and senior counsel
for the exchange, when hearing Is re-
sumed on the governments appiiea-
ton for an injunction 10 restrain
trading in sugar futures unless
backed by actual ownership or con-
troll OF the commodity, The govern
ment will answer Mr., Davis argyll
ments before decision il made by the

The question of the legality OF
trading In sugar futures as carried on
by the exchange will be carried to
the L, =, supreme court for final
judgment. IL was indicated, whatever
the decision OF the circuit court may
be.
II was believed here that the SUI
preme court would not come 10 the
case however before the opening OF
the fall term.
The government based Its case on
the recent decision Of the L. $. SUI
premo court In the grain trading fu-
lures case in which Chief Justice
Taft asserted that interstate trade and
commerce may be burdened and re-
strained by paper sales on n COM
modify exchange and that price dom
mates trade between the states. The
government charged that only rel
atively small amount of the sugar |
traded In by members OF the exchange |
was ever actually delivered to refiners
and that such transactions established !
the price OF refined sugar to the con-
sumner. Evidence was offered to show
that most OF the big refiners and
other large buyers OF raw sugars did
not use the exchange in any way In
their business.
Exchange Is Important.
Counsel for the exchange answered
that the exchange was an important
factor in the country's economic
and was used largely by
bankers, refiners, exporters and
of sugar products to
protect themselves against loss in
heir sugar dealings by means of
transactions.
1t was admitted that about rs per
cent of the sugar transactions on the
exchange were never closed by the
actual delivery of the sugar dealt in.
Such transactions were settled
through the clearing association Of
he exchange by means Of offsets and
,learances and ring settlements, 1t
was stated
The recent rise in the price of sugar
lad been brought about by the
operation of the economic law of
supply and demand and a possible
shortage In the Cuban sugar crop, it
