Stag lard Party

Monday evening, in response to
a challenge issued by the Legion
aires, the other members Of the
Sank Centre Community Club met
the Service men in a grand nula
session. The losers were to pay for
the lunch of the victors.
A number of the Legionaires
were apparently afraid Of the cars
because when it was time for play
to start they were short of men and
the business men accomodatingly
loaned them several high class play
ers. The thirteen tables fought back
and forth for leadership and at
the end of the ninth game the
score was all tie. In the ninth
round the Legionaires won by two
points and, of course, were elated.
Some Of the Community Club
men insist that victory was made
possible by the victories won by
the non-Legionaires playing as Ser
vice men. At any rate it was a fine
evening.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

NEW YORK, April 20 Pl.-Raw
sugar was easier today, and although
no sales were actually confirmed, 1t
was rumored that some Philippines had
sold at 3.25, a decline of 1872 from the
last previous sale. Buyers showed no
interest above this level, but holders
generally were asking 1928.
Raw futures opened unchanged to /
point lower and showed little change
during the balance of the forenoon,
with the market at midday about the
same as at the opening. The London
cables were disappointing and the
easier spot market was also depress-
ing factor, but offerings were not very
aggressive and seemed to be readily
taken by trade interests, probably
against sales in the spot market.
Refined was unchanged with little
better withdrawal demand, but little If
any business reported. Prices were
listed at $50 for fine granulated by ali
refiners, with second hands available
at from 4.42l5 to 4.45.
