lighter imports coupled with a poor

against 84.06 the year before and 89.14

The world’s production declined last
year more than 4,000,000,000 pounds.
These conditions are blamed by de-
partment officials for the present high
prices of sugar.

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.— Prospects of
Increasing drain on the rapidly dim-
inishing domestic supply of wheat
tended today to cause an advance in
price* German Interference with com-
merce from South American ports ap-
peared to have a growing influence
with bulls;' whereas the possibility of
enlarged hostilities on the route from
the United States to Europe was tem-
porarily ignored. Pessimistic crop re-
ports from Kansas acted as a handi-
cap to the bears. Opening prices which
ranged from the same as yesterday's
finish to He higher with May at $1.88
to $1.88% and July at $1.50% to 8151.
were followed by a downturn and then
by substantial gains all around.
Corn advanced to the highest price
yet this season. Demand from the
seaboard continued. There were ad-
vices of further damage to the crop
in Argentina and of vessels being with-
held. After opening H to He higher,
the market scored a moderate addition -
al-upturn. -2
Oats rose with corn and wheat. Sell-
ing was only of a scattered sort.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions. It was said shipments of
hogs to the East were being restrict-
ed by inability to get car*
In later trading attention centered
more and more on supply and demand
conditions that suggested complete
elimination of surplus supplies in the
United States and that seemed to in-
dicate possible scarcity before a new
crop. The close was strong, %c to
2 He net higher, with May at 81.90 to
$1.90% and July at $1.53% to 81.53%.
Further advances took place later
in corn and there was no sign of any
important reaction. The close was firm
at l%c to 2c above yesterday’s finish.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18—An opening
advance of 2 to 10 points encountered
a renewal of scattering commission
house liquidation and Liverpool and
New Orleans selling in the cotton mar-
ket today. The eables were relatively
firm, but the start here was barely
steady, owing to continued nervous-
ness over shipping conditions and May
quickly sold off to 17.86c. with active
months generally working 12 to 18
points under last night's closing fig-
ures. The market then steadied on
covering, however, while there war also
some buying for a reaction on .the con-
tinued bullish average of spot news
with prices showing rallies of 6 to 7
points toward the middle of the morn-
ing.
The larger exports reported for the
day and reports of a better spot de-
mand in the South, gave .the market a
steadier tone early in the afternoon,
with May contracts selling up to 1T.55c
or shout 6 points net higher
There was trade buying as well as
covering on the rally, which carried
active months back to practicall last
night’s closing figures during the mid-
dle of the morning, but demand tapered
off around 17.50 for May and later
fluctuations were irregular under real-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—With dele-
fates from throughout the United
States and Canada present, an interna-
tional conference on forestry began
here today under the auspices of the
American Forestry Association. The
principal object is to consider ways
and means of checking the spread of
the white pine blister disease.
The big question for the conference
for discussion will be that of a na-
tion-wide quarantine against the im-
portation of all seedlings and plants
carrying tree pests, such as the white
pine blister. The disease is said to
threaten destruction of pines in the
United States and Canada valued at
3400,000.
