More Sugar in Warehouses
' Than tor Two Years at This
Season, Says Broker.
EXPORTS NOT TO BLAME
With more raw sugar in stock in
the United States April 4. 1917, than
there was on the corresponding date
for Jhe two preceding years, and
though these raws cost very littte
more than k year ago, the price of re
fined sugar has been boosted $1.75
per hundred pounds above the' price
a year ago.
These and other salient facts in the
sugar situation were brought to the
attention of Senator George W. Nor
ris of Nebraska by Omaha brokers
following a survey of the whole situa
tion. Senator Norris is urged to
cause a congressional investigation of
the sugar situation.
Get More Than Expected.
Attention of the senator is called
to the fact that the beet sugar manu
facturers stored their tugar last Octo
ber with the expectation of marketing
it at from $4.50 to $5 per hundred
pounds. In spite of this they are now
demanding $8.53 per hundred, whole
sale.for the sugar in storage.

Rise Is on Refined Sugar.
Standard granulated sugar for the
above mentioned date. was quoted at
$8.50, while standard granulated last
year for, the corresponding lates was
$7.25.;' v
Thus, while the cost of raws is not
over 6 per cent higher than last year,
the refined sugar is 17 to 20 per cent
higher tlian last year.
Senator Norris' attention has been
called to the fact that the tonnage of
raw sugar on hand at present is ap
proximately three times as great as
that on hand a year ago at this time,
yet dealers j and refiners are pleading
shortage. -
More on Hand Now.
The tonnage of stocks of raw sugar
in the United States'April 4 this year
and the two preceding years was as
follows :
T1917. 1916. 1915.
311,340 tons 120,405 tons 270,079 tons
"These sugars," the letter to Sen
ator Norris reads, "were obtained by
the trust at prices ranging from $4.56
to $5.96. There can be no excuse on
the grounds of the great demand for
export
No Sugar to Great Britain.
"The Roya4- Sugar commission of
Great Britain in its last decree re-
' stricted the importation of sugar, and
as a result its importation has actually
decreased during the last four months
68,000 tons below the quaitify import
ed during the same four months last
year. This same condition is true
x with reference to France. If ever
there was a case of an unjustified in
crease and positive robbery by the
sugar kings; if ever there was such an
open and flagrant violation of alt laws
and of principles that are conducive
to the public welfare without the
slightest regard for ti e law of supply
and demand, the present sugar mar

enormous factor in determining the

ance of these telegrams being in fa
vor of the conscription plan of raising

is found a prominent citizen in favor
of the volunteer bill.
Ex-Governor Morehead of Ealls

Morehead Against Draft,
"Conscription," he said, "for Euro

associations such that I know the
sentiment of the rank and file. No
measure so unpopular during my life
time as drafting our boys for Euro

willing to volunteer is the unanimous
verdict."
In opposition to the position of the
ex-governor,'' Congressman. Lobeck

French Headquarters tit France,
Wednesday Evening, April 25. The
Germans today unsuccessfully hurhrd
masses of men against Hurtebisc
farm, westward of Craonne. The only
result of several strong German at
tempts to recover the territory won
from them in the last week's severe
fighting was an enormous sacrifice of
some of their best troops.
During these attacks, the corre
spondent watched the French artillery
hurling wide salvos of shells, which
dropped with methodical precision oil
the German lines further eastward in
the vicinity of VilleAux-Bois. The
Germans were most reluctant to sur
render this position, as it with Cra-'
onne formed one of 1he pillars of their
line here. They still hold Craonne.
