New York, Oct. 23.?Refinery wholesale and retail prices of sugar for greater New York were standardized in an agreement entered into today by representatives of the three branches of the industry at a confer? v ence called by Henry Mosgowitz, commissioner of public markets. The prices follow: A Refinery?$8.35 basis for bulk granulated; wholesale, $8.60 per 100 pounds for bulk granulated in the, original packages to the retail trade; retail, 10 to 11 cents a pound for granulated sugar, the price to the consumer not to exceed 11 cents. The conferees issued a statement saying that the cooperation or tne consumer was necessary in working ont the plan and that the sugar shortt age is temporary. "Relief," it is added, "is forthcom-| ing through the supply of United j States beet and Hawaiian cane sug-j are, Louisana cane sugar and Puerto j Rican and Cuban cane sugar." The plan requires that the refinersj apportion their distribution on the j basis of the available sugar as follows:! "The sales to each customer Willi be ascertained for the first six months1 of the year and his average monthly purchase computed. This figure will be used as the basis for distributing: the sugar that the refiners will fur-; nish to the New York territory. * "The wholesalers agree to prorate - a temporary distribution on the same t. - basis as the refiners. "The reailers agree to sell noti ^ more than two, three and a half or! five pounds at any one time to their j regular trade?this quantity to last those consumers from ten days on two weeks, according to the size of I the family." The conferees adopted a series of j penalties to insure the enforcement' of the agreement. Consumers must do their share, however, it was pointed i out, by economizing. Housewives were urged to cut down their sugar i ^ rations by at least oO per cent, and' mnre if oossible. "It is evident that some of the cor.-j sumers are hoarding sugar unneces-j sarily," the statement said. "Kestau-j rants, hotels and clubs should devise j economical methods of distribution.! The practicing of placing a bowl 01 i sugar on the table in a restaurant or j lunch room for the patrons' unre-i stricted use should be abolished."

Bird life is the fullest and most intense during the mating and nesting season. Love of war, courting or scrapping, rule their activities. What jealousies and rivalries, what warring and winning go on all about us! The birds are all glad and mad at the same moment. One morning in April I heard the excited voices of bluebirds and robins in the vinyard below me; going down there, I saw a pair of bluebirds and a pair of robins flitting about and perching on the wires and posts in an angry an excited frame of mind. Some of their movements and gestures suggested that they were scrapping. "But why should bluebirds and robins scrap?" I asked myself. I had never seen them do such a thing, so I began looking for a common enemy and expected to find j a cat sulking in a ditch there or may-J be a snake. But I could find neither; still the excited and accusing voices kept it up. Then I chanced to see some dry grass and weed stalks hanging down from a grape post which was splintered and broken at the top. I found that the robins were building a nest there in a ragged depression on the top of the post, and that a foot and a half lower down the bluebirds had preempted a downy woodpecker's old hole, and were making a nest there. The fracas was explained; neither pair of birds wanted the other such near neighbors. Each looked upon the post as its own. I saw that the robins had made a bad choice?no cover or screen of any kind. The first, fish crow that flew over in egging time would see the nest and rifle it promptly. If I could I would have told the mother .robin of the dangerous site of her nest. A week or ten days later I saw her brooding her eggs in apparent security, but not long afterward I found; I her gone and her nest empty and j torn: but as I put niv hand in the| post, out went the mother bluebird.. The crows and jays could not reach J her and she was right in claming the j post as alone suited to her needs. Birds have their troubles as well asj I we featherless bipeds.?John Bur-j roughs in Harper's Magazine. notices were posted which stated that! the sale of sugar to candy manufac-j turers had been prohibited until fur-j ther notice by the national food ad-j | ministration.
