Examina- be tioin showed that the vault had been ths entered and tise^ contents rifled-. An alarm immediately was sent to Bnch- St f anin, the next town north of Glas- m< go\fr; Word came back that an auto- .w< r&ojbile "going~ about 60 miles an itj hkd just gone v through the j tft: towrl, and Koanoke police were tnen -n< t iiotifled. * ly /?&e local police immediately took ?r ste^i to meet the incoming automo- A1 * bil? ;On any onfe -of the three roads lea cling into the city from the north, nil Upon each road a4 car was placed th lefcirthwise" to block the progress of co tKe alleged bandits.

The message added [ at the trio escaped south in an au-i mobile. The police think the Glas-| w robbery may have been effected} the same men. Mr. Vaughan stated that the robrs left behind $38,00Q in a comrtment of his vault whfch the exDsion aid not affect.

P: In the period of great industrial i ^ omotions at the close of the last | ^ ntury the late J. P. Morgan invent- J ^ the phrase, "Undigested securi-!p( s," to describe a condition in which i output of stocks and bonds issued newly organized companies was j pnt-pr t.emnorarilv than the public j w XT ~ aid absorb. Examination of crop1 ^ )vement statistics for the past sev-1 0j al months indicates that the sugarj irket is suffering from a similar at- j . ;k of indigestion due to a similar ; use, that is, a temporary oversup- ^ / of sugar which the public has ^ en'unable to-absorb at the prices / at have prevailed. ( That the markets of the United jites have been inundated, by ship- j ( ?nts <>f sugar from parts of the g* >rld outside its own territorial lim, and Cuba in far greater volume j at? was deemed possible in esti ates of available supplies made earin the year is shown by official fig- p es of imports published by Facts 3out Sugar last week. These statistics show that for the 1C + 1 ne months ending with September i e receipts of sugar from foreign untries and the Philippines amount-1 ( to roundly 3,500.000 tons (of 2,-|ai 0 pounds each) as compared with 1 ?>12,000 tons in the corresponding riod of 1919 and 2,235,000 tons in e same months of 1918. Deducting P1 ports in each'case, we have net;w ceipts of over *3,000,000 tons for;t} e first nine months of 1920 against o: 347,00.0 tons in 1919 and 2,136,000 I Sl p.s dn 1918. In other words the;9 1. pply has been 835,0C)0 tons greater eater than for the first three-.e< larters of 1919 and over 1,000,000; e< n3 more than in 1918.. This is an .P' tioun't sufficient to supply 16 pounds jCJ r capita more than in .1919 and 20 j unds more than in 1918. Taking CJ to account net imports plus the re- j ^ ipts from Hawaii and Porto Rico \ ^ id the portion of the 1919-20 beet ^ op remaining for distribution after ^ nuary 1, we have over 4,000,000 c; dinary tons of sugar offered forj*nsumption in the United States injs< e first nine months of the present j11 ar. or an average of over 75'n unds for each man, woman and J i ild in the country. { Allowing the same rate of supply r the full year, we would have over; ^ 0 pounds of sugar available for,'-ch person. This is not only far in ^ cess of the highest per capita con- j mption heretofore contained, but ^ so is obviously more than the buy-! ^ g public is prepared to consume, j king into account the fact that g gar prices have been uniformly o gher than in preceding years and s< ive been as "high as 30 cents a n: ?und in some parts of the country ic r a considerable period in the early ti irt of the year. The highest esti- v. ate of probable per capita con- ( T mption for the full year, made be-1 w re the sharp upswing of prices,' o as 95 pounds. Applying this rate a r the nine months prior to October tl Duld show an oversupply for this' w riod of 720.000 ordinary- tons, i ir lis amount is greater enough to | plain a severe temporary attack ofn gar indigestion. e; Bearing in mind that virtually all; k e sugar sold in the United States' b r several years past has been d awn from domestic and Cuban oduction, it is illuminating to note si at during the first three-quarters of e e present year Cuba shipped to the a nited States less sugar than during it " i -J: 1 nin \ e corresponding penou ui liile the receipts from the domestic i: dustry also have been slightly less, o Exports of refined sugar from the t1 nited States decreased 140,000 b ns. - Sugars arriving from other p ?B?illl !?

Practically every country 11 lat had any quantity -of sugar avail-11 ale apparently started it on'its way' 1 ) New York, New Orleans or San < rancisco. The apparent willingness of Amer- ^ Ian consumers to pay 'fancy prices!1 ireatened to drain the entire world j ' t sugar. It would have had this ef-j 1 ;ct if the price levels of late spring j ] nrl onvlv summer had been main-'3 lined. Refined sugars which had been sold! j ) Belgium, France and other Euro-1 _ ean countries at nine cents a pound;' ere returned to the western side of; ? le Atlantic and sold at double the riginal price. -Japanese holders of i igar saw an escape from the conse- j ^ uences of the financial crash in their; i ( ome market and resold to the Uniti States. Java sugars were divert- j j i from their course-towards Euro-! ean and eastern markets to Arneri-j an ports. ?? y -A.?i i c...a A ! Mexico, central ami ouuui niir.:ji*| i, and even far off Mauritius an<lj* ritish South Africa, sold sugar in j j ew York.
