SUGAR ESTIMATE =
FOR WORLD RISES
49, ,007, 900 Short Tons Pro.
duced-U. S. Foreign Trade
With Far East Declines.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that world sugar production in
1922, the season tust ended, was 29,-
007, 900 short tons as compared with an
earlier estimate of %, 1861 900 short tons.
The revised figure indicated a de-
crease Of 8 per cent from the large crop
OF 81 ,9O5,000 short tons produced in
1930-31.
Slight changes from the earlier esti-
mates occurred in Germany, Cuba, ia
malca, Haiti. Formosa, Mauritus and
Australia. Production in Cuba Is now
placed at 2,9246l6 short tons by the
Cuban Export Corporation. This figure
is 16.6 per cent below the crop produced
In 193O-3l and 443 per cent below that
OF the previous year. This is the second
year in which Cuba has restricted pro-
ductlon in accordance with the interna-
tional sugar agreement.
Philippine Island Repart.
An official estimate has now been re-
ceived for sugar production in the
Philippine Islands in 193O-31. The total
crop during that season was $958O32
snort tons. which is slightly below that
OF the preceding year. Complete statis-
tics FOR 1912 are not yet available.
An unoff1clal estimate places the pro-
ductlon OF centrifugal sugar, which rep
reSentS about 80 per cent Of the crop,
at l.lO2 600 short tons. Out of the to-
tai l930-3l production of 958. .O32 short
tons, 87l ,297 short tons were centrifugal.
Far East Trade Declines.
united States foreign trade with the
Far East during September declined 81
per cent as compared with the same
month Of last year.
In making the announcement the
Commerce Department said the decline
largely affected imports. Aggregate pur-
chases OF Oriental products declined

Sal ,204. 900 10 $27.039,00O q loss of
4.245, 900. Although the major part
OF this reduction was sale to result from
a combination of low prices and a
weak demand among American manu-
facturers for all important Oriental
raw materials. a considerable amount
may be attributed to continued difficult
economic conditions in most of the
countries Of the Far East which result
ed In reduced purchasing power.

trade by per cent over the CORE

Town Chairman Crary, when in- terviewed this morning, admitted that he was at the Hartford con. ference but stated, when pressed for information, that nothing of g definite nature was discussed and that no definite steps had been decided upon.
 Two other "old guard" leaders in the state were also invited to the session, Town Chairman David Mccoy of New Haven and Super visor of Public Works Golden, al- so of New Haven.
 Yesterdays session started shortly after o'clock. Town Chairman Crary left the city at 2 o'clock to attend the conference. Another get-together of the same body is expected within the next week or so. In view Of an almost certain democratic majority in the senate during the 1883 session, the democratic party will be in a po- sition to mete out patronage not enjoyed in the history of the party heretofore, hence the calling in of the various 'old guard" leaders to bring about an agreement on the program to be followed.
 Town Chairman Crary stated to- day that Governor Cross expressed great friendliness to Waterbury and expressed himself as willing to cooperate in every way to bring about appointments which will meet ethe favor of the Brass City residents.

FRANCE IS NEAR
 CRISIS ON WAR.
 DEBT PAYMENT
She Is Trying to Avoid Ii But Great Britain and Italy Have Agreed to Pay
(Unted Press stan Correspondent)

 Paris, Dec = (UP) - The French government reached cris- is to-day in it's efforts to avoid pay- ment of the December $20,0O0,000 war debt installment to the United States with the knowledge that Italy and Great Britain are ready to pay.
 Premier Edouard Herfiot told the United Press "No definite de- cision' had been taken after a meeting of the cabinet and the council of ministers.
 After an exchange of views with Prime Minister Macdonald and Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain of Great Britain 1 shall advise the committees of fi- nance and foreign affairs of the chamber of the status of affairs, and call a cabinet meeting to de- eide the governments attitude, which will be announced in par lament Friday afternoon" the premier said.
 Macdonald arrived from Geneva to-day and Chamberlain was due from LOnQOu LO-ulSnLs
 Herriot had to find a formula acceptable to a hostile chamber of deputies, whree the majority opin- ion is turning toward default. The government realized the dangerous reaction of refusing to pay after Italy and Britain agreed to make their payments, if necessary.
 Herriot decided not to risk the life of his government in asking a vote of confidence on debts from the chamber.
 Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain and Governor of the Bank of England Montagu Norman were due here late to-day to confer with Macdonald. Herriot and Minister of Finance Germain- Martin. Macdonald was expected to tell the French that Britain would pay, although hoping for modification of form of payment, and to remind France of $60.000,- 900 she is due to pay Britain soon under the Anglo-French debt a nuraapnent

Some of the Baldwins which are showing con- siderable rfpeness and are not care fully graded enough to qualify for No is are selling for 65 to 75 cents a bushel. There are a few Green ings which are below No 1 grade, either. due to scald or other defects which are selling even lower. The bulk of offerings, however, are good enough to sell for 90 cents to $1.00 or more. Delicious now off, fered are mostly selling from $1.25 a bushel up, a few as high as S1.75. Few Mcintosh seen selling for less than $1.50 a bushel with best usually $1.75.

 this decision to the state supreme court of errors.
 Deputy Attorney General Ernest L. Averill represented the board of canvassers = Secretary of State William L. Higgins, State Treasur- CT Roy c. Wilcox and Comptroller Frederick M. Salmon. Averill con- tended the board had no right to certify to the election as long as 1t was being contested in court.
 Bridgeport, Dec 7-(UP)-Dcp- uty Attorney-General Ernest L. Averill intimated in superior court today that the contested election in the 21st state senatorial district may be referred for settlement to the state senate next month.
 Arguing against the mandamus petition of William A. Con1ey, who demands certification as state sena- tor from the district, Averill cited article 6, section 3 of the Estate constitution, which he said pro- vided that the board of canvassers should report to the state senate.
 If Conley is certified, the state senate will be democratic by one vote, giving the democrats dispo- sal of vast amount of patronage.
 Averill's statement was in rebut- tai to the argument of Attorney James Murphy, representing Con ley, who said section 32 of the public acts of 193 requires the board of canvassers to certify all elections except those tied before the last of November. Murphy had drawn from the only witness, Sec retary of State William L. Hig- gins, the statement that the official canvass showed Conley, democrat defeated by Fred W. Harrison. re- publican, by 25 votes. Higgins said the vote was 8058 for Conley tc 8033 for Harrison.
 In response to questions of Mur- phy, Higgins testified that only two members of the board-Statt Treasurer Roy c. Wilcox and him. self-actually drew up the election report, although the third, Comp. troller Frederick M. salmon. signed | 1t at his home in Westport. Mur, phy raised the the question of le, gafity of the entire certification.
 Averill told Judge Frank F. Mo | Evoy that the board of canvasser' was unwilling to certify to Conley'i election until the supreme cour of errors has passed upon thu mandamus action of Harrison l who seeks a recanvass. Harrison | had appealed Judge McEvoy's re | fusal to order a recount. The de feated republican charges nor, votes were cast than there wer' eligible voters in several precincts | Judge McEvoy reserved decision pending filing of briefs after hear
 ing arguments.
