Distant deliveries were temporarily
depressed by the crop news but
steady demand from mill and trade

ditional prop, which tended to dis

NEW YORK SUGAR

NEW YORK, April s. Up The
unsettled situation in the refined
sugar market echoed in the futures
market today.
Domestic futures dropped 2 to 3
points on turnover Of 1920 tons.
The trade placed hedging sales and
professional operators sold outright.
Immediate basis for the nervous
ness was a reduction by beet process
sors to 40 cents a pound for re-
fined. A southern refiner announced
a price of 4.30 for today only in
competitive territory.
Eastern refiners, meanwhile, re-
sisted the pressure and held at their
price Of 4.5O cents although neces'
sity for a reduction was admitted in
trade circles as a possibility.
World futures ended 1 point lower
to IL higher in thin trade. Foreign
and outside buying attracted Offer
ings from Cuban and speculative
sources but sales totaled only 200
tons; May Las bid, July Las bid.

A UNION OF INTERESTS

There is little occasion for formal
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain.
The pressure of danger upon the
identical interests of the two great English
speaking peoples will effect unity that Is
more binding than written pacts.
If Hitler wins his war this prospect
may dissolve, but if the English win, the
world will probably be dominated by Great
Britain and the United States and II our
statesmen have good sense they will back
their position with impregnable strength
in the air. on the seas and on the land.
1t is quite possible for the English
speaking people to guarantee the future
liberty of the world and the growth OF
liberty will flourish again to the better
ment of human beings everywhere. In this
development, and in the profits that come
from it, the United States will get its full
reward.
