Halifax, - NeS:, Sept: 4.--While Nova Scotians were paying 25 cents a pound for sugar most of the sum- mer, one of the reasons given for the high price being an alleged scar- tity, millions of pounds owned by | New York speculators were stored right in. Halifax, in the Dominion Government warehouse at the ocean for nearly four months in the hot- test season of the year, part of the 6,600,000 pounds which still remain is now beginning to cake, and hence is deteriorating in value: It is said that if the hot weather continued much longer a large part of it would cause a big loss to the New York owners, who will probably welcome the coming of cooler weather. Early in May 112,000 bags of sugar were sold by a refinery to some New York brokers, and the whole was stored in ; Government warehouse No. 24 here. Since then nearly half has been shipped to New York and glsewhere, but 65,000 bags remain. The sugar has changed ownership several times, it is stated, without béing moved from the ware- house, each time at an advance In price, but now that sugar is on the decline here and everywhere, the portion still remaining here would cause the owners a loss anyway, even if the quality remained high. The sugar is, or' was, best granulated, and is in a huge, long pile in the warehouse, which is a hot, sultry building in warm weather, and some of the sugar, particularly the bags at the bottom of the big pile, is feel- ing the effects of weather and pres- sure from above. Ruring the ship- yard strike here recently about $2,- 000,000 riot insurance was placed on it. NOT TO RETIRE ALL AGED SIXTY-FIVE Ottawa Statement Clears Mis= ~ understanding Regarding Civil Service Empioyees Ottawa, Sept. 4.--There is some misunderstanding regarding the ef- fect of the act passed last session of 65, The act does not mean that all civil servants qver that age will be retired, but only.those who are not able owing either to age or infir- mity to give efficient service. The decision in each case is based on a report made by the deputy minister, which is reviewed by the civil ser- vice commissioners before being sub- mitted to the governor-in-council for his approval. The act further provi- des that those Jader the age of 65 whe are unablé to render efficient service may be similarly retired. NOT LIKELY TO GO. The Doukhobors Will Stay in Prov- ince of Alberta. Edmonton, Alta., Sept. 4--1It looks now as if the Doukhobors, instead of quitting Alberta, as rumored a short time ago, are intending to settle down even more permanently than be fore. They have just organized, for business purposes, the 'Christian Community of Universal Brother- hood of Alberta', which has been in- corporated and duly entered upon the list of new commercial enter- prises in this province. . Peter Verigin himself, leader and business adviser, of the Doukhobors, is No. 1 on the directorate, and as- sociated with him are J. R. Shonkin and 'M. W. Cayaroff.

London, Sept. 4.--An almost in- deacribable ingenuity in the theft of liquor has been developed in United States gea ports, according to British whiskey, brandy and wine ex- porters, in their announcement that henceforth liquor intended for South America will not be shipped via the United States. Wooden cases, they say, are broken open and bottles removed. Thousands of cases have been stolen entire. - This places a heavy loss on the consignee as the bills of lad- ing on liquor shipments carry a clause disclaiming the shipper's re- sponsibility for loss by "breakage, leakage and pilferage." The ship- pers believe that fortunes have been made in thefts. Pllferage was formerly unknown, Wines and liquors were shipped to Costa Rica via the United States in baskets. Now the law requires that they be packed im heavy wooden cases, strongly nailed. This, how- ever, is not a protection against wholesale theft. Print Paper In the U.S Takes Another Rise New York, Sept: 4.--The Interna- tional Paper Company announged to-day that the price for newsprint in rolls for the last quarter, of 1920 will, be* $6.50 for 100 pounds, or $130 a ton. The price for the cur- rent quarter is $115 a ton. Contract prices for newsprint fur- nished by the company are adjusted each quarter, the price to be charged being based on costs of production. The price for the first quarter this year was $350, and for the second quarter $100. The price of $130 a ton for the final quarter of the year makes the International Paper Company's quo- tation the same as that of the Can- adian Export Paper Association, which handles the greatest part of paper shipments from Canada.
