THE REFINERS' POSITION. fect of the drap in sugar prices has | been the phenomenal collapse of At- lantic sugar shares on the stock mar- kets, Three months ago these shares | were quoted on the stock exchange | the latest™ report gives the | (at 164; | quotation at 16, a drop of 148 points | from the high level of three months ago. The large proportion of this drop naturally has taken place since the government refused to allow the Board of Commerce to hold up tha price of sugar by fixing the price {and practically forbidding imforta- ition. = The cause of the drop is not | tar to seek. So long as the refiners | coura demand any price they wished [ they remained loyal to each other {and simply charged as high a rate {as they cared to name. Their pro- | fits were enormous, dividends were | large, and, in the opinion of the re- finers, prospects for the future were | line, "What did you do to me? come mousin' down here to Trontuh | an' got me to love yuh more"n I ever loved any buddy before, an' you up'n | pay me back by handing me the in-| formatipn that you are goin' to do some plowin'. Runt, you're the limit. Say, kid, ef; you get gayglike that again I'll jes' patchelly kick you all to pleces." They clutched seach ° other, got their heads under the blankets and giggled rapturously "But, honest, old ruffian, I want to learn--to drive any gol darn thing | thatfl go with a pail full of gaso- Lissen here! Oh, that Losece | homestead is a lovely old place. { They's not a farm in the world lays [out uv doors like it. An' who's been there goin' on for four yoars? Old Dan an' me. There hain't been a furrow turned onto it this vear yit. Cause why? Cause you couldn't git nobuddy for love er money to do a tap for yuh. I jes' figure it out that it I had a tractor plow I'd put a cushion on that seat and rip up that ole farm from the concession plumb back to the bush. There's seventy acros on that farm that could be put in ¢rop next spring. How much crop was put in last spring? Fourteen acres, an' then it wasn't half put in. It I was an expert engineer Ole Dan'n me ¢"d run that farm to the Queen's taste an' make a fortune, an' I ¢'d plow fer other folks, so much an acre.. I'd make a barrel fv money." 'Why don't you go out an' get a job carryin' a hod?" moaned Tee Tee. She sat mp in bed again and tossed her pillow in a frantic en- deavor to soften it. "You're a nice little ole cross bear- er,. you be," drawled Tee Tee. "Why don't you wear a hair shirt and look the part?" "A hair shirt had oughta go with this piller, but lissen here, I'm a-goin' to learn to run a car, a trick an' a | bright. They figured that they | could keep the price ap, at least un- | til the new crop was available. Here they figured wrongly, for the light- ening of credit forced Hquidation in the United States, the price fell, cheap sugar became a prospect, and the promise of big profits became a myth. Then the shareholders, fear- ing the loss of their coveted divi- dends, became panicky, and the stock dropped. - It 1s not likely that ths public'in { general will have a great deal of sympathy for the refiners. The be- lief is widespread that, as they made huge profits during the period of high prices,--and this is borne out by the high level which the stock reached--they should be able to stand any loss which they may incur | In this forced liquidation of sugar supplies. The average man in the street is not likely to give much thought to the position of the re- finers. He only knows that, so far 4s sugar is concerned, his dollar wiil now go nearly twice as far as it did three months ago. He welcomes this change as a sign of the times, and is inclined to believe, that, if the re- finers are now in a precarious posi- tion, this is only their just dues. He reasons that if there Mad been no undue inflation in prices there would have been no need for the sudden drop which hag occurred. He feels that he is mow getting a little of his own back, and is rather pleased about it, But the outlook for the refiners is not quite so black as it appears. True, the era of high profit has gone, and losses are being sustained for the present, but there are signs that the market fs reaching a settled condition. The new raw sugar crop is coming tn at a very low price, and the refiners can be 'trusted, as shrewd business men, to lode no time in making good their losses. It is not likely that the old days, when twenty pounds of sugar could be bought for a deflar, will ever return, but we believe that the return ! of normal trading conditions will be of benefit alike to refiners, wholesalers and retailers and to the ultimate consumer. 4 AuUsInGs OF THE KHAN and the Rascal.

Finally she turned over and kissed the eyelids of the gin e her. : : "gl yn ' "How could a feller & makin" all that noise?" "What noise?" "You was thinkin', don't you dast deny it! You. was thinkin' fit to wake the dead an' you was thinkin® uv me. Can't you let a body alone? U'm tuckered out!" Tee Tee giggled maliciously. "Yes, Runt, I was thinkin' of you. What you goin' to work at? What ypu goin' to be? Runt, oh, Runt, this The till noon. Wake up, Runt, an' tell me what goin' to do." The R sat up in ded, pounded her lumpy pillow into shape and thea lay down again. 'I'm goin' to learn to drive a This held Tee Tee for a while and leep and you | tractor, git that?" Then she whang- ed the pillow against the bed head and snuggled down. "Runt," satd Tee Tee, "I'm goin' to start you on your way. My Aunt Jule married a garridge in the east end. The minister throwed in a feller by the name of Hopkins an' he says he's my uncle now. He is a kind-hearted, affectionate robber who has the sugar profiteers playin' the role of Lazarus, Well, this hers Uncle uv mine he'll take you on Monday, fer what I says goes, Lem- Mme see, what's his first name? | mustn't forgit his first name. His name is either Isaac or Hezekiah; no, you bowing--but the farmer with | his plowing makes the old world's wheels go round. Some of us are famous fighters, with our guns and butcher knives; and a lot of us, as | writers, buy the fodder for our wives; others on the stage are playing, | through the lines of "Hamlet" stray- ing--but the farmer with his haying | is the man who saves our lives. Bome | have all their lives devoted to the | well-known public weal, and in con- | gress, silver-throated, you may hear | them ably spiel; and they have our edmiration, our applause and adula- tion--but the farmer saves the na- | tion, when he feeds the calves their | mogl. Some are painting gorgeous | piClures destined to a deathless fame, and, despite the critics' "strictures, | they will get there jus: the same; Some are -preaching public morals, ome are gaining singers' laurels-- | but the farmer with his sorrels, or | his claybanks, plays.the game. And | the farmer isn't yawping as he goes his dusty way, and we do not see him stopping, yelping for a six-hour day; | when the early dawn is breaking he goes briskly to his raking, and his | honest bones are aching "when at night he hits the hay.
