for only 1880. A higher percentage of lost time was en-
countered during 1855 due to lack Of cane, and it is expected
that this will be corrected during the coming crop with the
installation Of a new loading crane.
There is every reason to believe that we can look for
ward to a good grinding season during 1856. The 1856 grind
ing season was one Of the shortest on record during recent
years, and the average tons Of cane ground per day was the
highest in the history of the Corporation. 1t is hoped and ex-
pected that 1856 will be even better.
The price Of sugar in 1855 was a disturbing factor, be-
ing the lowest that it has been for the past three years. The
Corporations average sales price for 1855 was $120.76 per
ton as compared to $122.30 and $l27.29 for 1854 and 1858, res
pectively.
A total of molasses was produced during the 1855 crop
and was sold or contracted for by the local rum distilleries.
Approximately $4,000 gallons of molasses will be used by the
livestock producers.

The losses incurred in connections with the processing q

Mr.. Souther said the Robinson
Patman Act, main subject of
the subcommittee inquiry. is
vaguely worded and that if the
courts and others could know
with certainty what the law
means, it would become infinitely
more palatable to business men.
Chairman Kilgore. Democrat
of West Virginia. in one-man
hearings is exploring whether
the act tends to keep prices to
the consumers unduly high and
whether it needs revision. The
statute forbids discriminatory
prices which might tend to re-
duce business competition.
At yesterdays hearing. the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton called for legislation that
would make labor unions sub
ject to the antitrust laws as bust
ness concerns now are.

some unions. He urged tougher
sanctions than the Taft-Hartley
