HOOVER RUNS TRUE

President Hoover's celebration Of his

James Buchanan attained 81 in the

George Washington was at Mount

Altogether Mr.. Hoover is running true
to presidential form. A little mental

having done that, he achieved 81 as his

REVOLT HITS SUGAR
INDUSTRY IN CUBA
Opinion Divided on Success
of Chadbourne Plan to
CurtaiI Output.
BY cHAs. p. sHAEFFER,


A new uncertainty in the sugar in
dustry exists in Washington because
Of the revolution in Cuba.
The island is one. Of the chief sugar
producers Of the world and a partici-
pant in TIE Chadbourne plan to cur
tail output and restrict exports TO en-
able the world markets 20 clear their
overstuffed shelves. The uncertainty
apparently lies In whether any prom
able new government in Cuba would
recognize the islands participation in
the plan
Opinion seems divided. Certain gov
eminent officials believe the worth of
the Chadbourne plan already has as
serted itself in Cuba as a recognized
fact and that the public sentiment
there is decidedly sympathetic
On the other hand, private sugar in
terests feel that Cubans. least Of all
the working class. derive less 5enef1t
from the plan that sccrues TO other
producing countries.
This is explained by the subnormal
scale existing in the fields, which Is
reported to be generally not more than
40 cents day. II is believed by these
interests that any new government in
Cuba would seek first of all a reform
movement directed at the uplift of the
working class through q minimum wage
scale, thus automatically raising pro-
duction costs, and disrupt certain pro-
visions of the plan.
Thus far the domestic sugar market
has not been affected By events there
There appears to be neither fear Of de-
lay in shipping from the island nor
any interference with the Chadbourne
plan as q result of internal difficulties.
Raw prices have held well, around The
high levels for the year.
The 1881 crop for Cuba, under the
Chadbourne plan, is approximately
3.lf6,369 long tons the smallest output
since 1917. 1t Is 2,o37, 939 tons, or
80 50 per cent under the record crop Of
1929, and is .552,e6 tens less than
last yesr World production this year
is approximately %, $4,000 long tons

WAGE CUTS SCORED
IN COLORADO MINES
State Industrial Commission Pro.
tests Coal Companies Pay Less
Than Half Living Scale.
~ ID, Associated Press.

DENVER, Colo, August 90 49, Wage
reductions Of two Colorado coal mining
companies have brought q protest from
the State Industrial Commission.
In the second decision TO be handed

The declaration OF the commission,
however, did not block the wage cut

Business Notes

NEW YORK, August 29.-Generous
orders on several Fall lines of kitchen
crockery reached sales agents in New
York this week and gave the flrst in
dication of an improvement in retail
demand for such goods. The hH-in
purchases were confined largely to mix
ing bowls, measuring pitchers and other
cooking accessories. Bowl sets retailing
at $l19 and S1.95 were especially &C
tive.
with the Empress Eugene styles
being rapidly copied down into low-end
merchandise. manufacturers OF better
grade millinery have switched their at
tention to Robin Hood models, trade
types, representing adaptations Of the
headgear worn by Robin Hood, will be-
gin to go forward to retailers next week.
Quill trims are used on the styles which
are mainly fashioned of soutache
braided feltS.
Initial covering on Fall bedspreads
by retail buyers lent a fairly active tone
to the primary market during the week.
and some fairly substantial orders were
placed by stores selling agents report.
Jobbers continued in the market in
small way, covering only their immedi-
ate needs with minor purchases. Cot
ton and rayon jacquards are moving
freely, and q few mills which have
booked substantial orders are working
part overtime to assure deliveries, it
was said
A steadily declining market for AL
but one or two patented types Of metal
smokers stands Is causing many manu-
facturers specializing in such goods to
drop them from holiday lines. Increased
popularity OF cigarettes, the growth Of
cigarette smoking among women and
the fact that small novelty ash trays
are enjoying q widespread popularity
are factors which have contributed to
the present lack Of demand for the
more elaborate and expensive receivers.

believed that Nationwide syndicate of

The response to this transaction Is likely to
be favorable and in order to assure such
response constructive activities would seem
necessary. This may, in part at least, &C
count for the firmness in the securities
markets and for the prevailing belief that
the firmness may continue.
AS to the transaction itself, 1t should be
remembered that Great Britain's credit still
ranks highest in the worlds financial mar
