Utilities Change Front.

If there was deal behind the sud-
den change of utility front toward the
New Deal, it has been rather well
covered up. In general way, the
change seems to have been based on
the fact that smarter utility men
realized they were biting OF quite
large chew. Challenging T. V. AS
constitutionality In statements and
challenging it in court are entirely
different things. In court, you always
have to go to trial sometime.
The brief filed by those two unex-
celled constitutional lawyers, Messrs.
Baker and Beck, was not the best work
they ever did, if you accept the judg-
ment of some constitutionalists here.
Then, also, there is an apparent in
side reluctance on the part of any
specific party to start the test case.
Utilities would like to see it done, but
they do not want to stick their own
neckS out.

Odd Price Trends
Are ShOlUn in SUQGr

An interesting sidelight on the
.47c decline in the price Of duty
free raw sugar which has taken
place during the past month Is
pointed out by the New York
Coffee and Sugar Exchange. The
present price Of 2.95c for duty
free sugar from Hawaii, Philip
pines and Puerto Rico Is the low
est in over a year and three
points under the price at this
date last year.
Cuban sugars on this bisis
should sell at Csc, the present
duty free price less the existing
Cuban tariff Of 2.OOc. # this
nominal price for Cuban sugars
is adjusted for the 40 per cent
cut in the value of the dollar,
the resulting gold equivalent
value Of Cuban sugar would be
SIC, which figure Is exactly equal
to the lowest level Of all time
made in the first part Of June,
1892.
Cuban sugars, however, are held
at about 40 points over the ap-
parent parity Of .s5c. The last
sale was made at LAC.
