Increased offerings brought about a
raw sugar market today. Prices were
unchanged for nearby Cubas, but a
shade lower for later shipment. Both

included 45,OUO bags OF CubanS and
10000 bags of Porto Ricans for prompt
shipment to local refiners.
The lower ruling abroad and more
liberal offerings in the spot market led
to renewed selling pressure in raw su-
gar futures. Prices declined II to II
points, but renewed talk of a possible
railroad strike in Cuba checked the
decline and prices rallied three to FIVE
points on covering. The close was six

Foreign Press Is
Cordial in Tone
To Secretary Hughes

Berlin, Aug. 3-The press con-
tinues to maintain 4 note of extreme
oordtality in it's greetings TO the Am
erican. Secretary of State, Charles
Evans Hughes. 1t deplores. how
ever, the brevity OF HIS visit and the
fact that it occurs at sine when the
government leaders are~forced TO
make hasty exit to London. EOS
That Secretary Hughes visit TO
Europe at this time has been pro-
ductive OF decisively beneficial eff
fects on pending International discus
sions is the general view of German
editors who profess to see n marked
advance in the London parleys since
the American official took a hand in
them.
Secretary Hughes visit to Berlin
must be construed as a proof that
the Americans are convinced that the
success of the London conference IL
assured, according TO the Vossische
ZeitunS, which praises Mr.. Hughes
for the determined manner in which
he created an atmosphere for tbe
PRONUNCIATION of the rr:nciples which
were subsequently laid down in the
Dawes report. These principles. in
the opinion Of Secretary Hughes,
suggest the only way TO the Euro
pean powers for a rescue out Of the
blind alley of postwar economies,
according to the newspaper.
