Whether owing to Cuban insurrections, decreased supplies of beet sugar, or partial cane crop failure, prices of sugar have varied greatly. After a preiod during which it has been sold at a price said to be much below the cost of production it is now attracting attention by a marked advance. The post-wa- r speculation, or apprehension of a possible worldwide scarcity of sugar, forced prices up to 20 and even 25 cents per pound, with the immediate result of disclosing large stocks in unsuspected regions, that brought about a collapse in price. Spurred by the expectation of high prices, the chief sugar-pr- o ducing counties increased their crops to the utmost, and in consewas sold as quence a large portion of the Cubn crop of 1921-192- 2 remained Had low as two cents per pound. anywhere near prices that figure, the production of cane and beet sugar in the United States would have been made impossible even withh the protection afforded by the tariff on foreign sugars.

Crockett, secretary of state, has issued orders to his lieutenants that last years auto licenses will not e tolerated after April 1, and accordingly tardy motorists throughout the state are given warning to comply with the state laws regarding the regulations for 1923 licenses. There will be no further extensions of time, Mr. Crockett said. Automobile owners have had plenty if time to get their new license plates. Although there are but a ew days remaining, records of our office show that 30,000 fewer licenses ,ave been issued thus far this year ban weie assigned at this period If persons intend to get if 1922. heir license plates by mail they should make requests at once.

An xtension of time of thirty days was granted, however, to secure licenses. The compilation of the refunds due to motorists who secured their licenses prior to the reduction in the taxes is still being carried on, but no refunds will be made until the lists have been completed and checked. This work will probably continue for mother week or ten days before the -efunds will become available and before motorists may secure a repayment of their excess payment.
